Description

What is this? A redline is when one artist draws over another artist's work as a teaching tool to point out mistakes and give advice. These redlines were solicited by the original redline owner as a way of learning - and were given freely, no credit required. If you are interested in getting a redline, check out my weekly redline journal (usually posted on friday) to sign up! Rules are listed there.

I hope other artists are able to glean useful information out of this :3

if you can't read my handwriting:

(Upper Left) - Pay close attention to contrast and the way your light and shadows fall. Instead of using lines to provide shape, you have to rely on contrast and value.

(Lower Right) - Contrast - it creates sharp lines and defines shapes - use it to replace lines in a painted piece. Notice the contrasts around the nose/eyes that creates the illusion of lines without having any.

To emphasize a contrast without recoloring an entire area, use color in tiny amounts right along the contrast line to bring out the contrast. (cont) Blend. The small bit of color won't be obvious but the color will deepen.

I was wondering what you meant by redline. If wondering means horribly, horribly confused.
