NEW! TinyArtChallenge Announcement and Invitation for Artists! This Week's Theme: An Animal

in #tinyartchallenge7 years ago (edited)

Hello my dear Steemians!

Today I would like to tell you about this idea I have in my head for some time. It's about making NEW Art Challenge!

I named it ''TinyArtChallenge'' as it totally describes what I would like to propose! Let's start making this awesome and cute tiny little drawings / paintings / 3D models ...

Let me show you what I mean!

So the main thing when creating this kind of Art is when taking a picture of it, you should put some object in the cadre/frame so the size of this tiny art is understandable.

It will be a weekly challenge and I invite everyone to participate. Every week will have a Theme/Technique that I will name.

This Week's Theme is: An Animal. Choose any art technique for this one. It can be drawing, painting or an origami. It doesn't matter as long as you've created an animal. It can be cute, cartoonish, realistic, whatever you wish :D

I've decided to do it myself and if you would like to join me that would be awesome! As you can see I'm new to this too. This is really a challenge as you need to be super precise and make no mistakes :D

In order to join me in this challenge, please follow these instructions:

1.) Upvote and resteem this post.
2.) Make a post about your entry with the first tag #tinyartchallenge
3.) Link your post in the comment below.
4.) Up to 3 entry per person.
5.) Only original artwork, please.

For now, there's no reward, unfortunately, but will try to get some finances for the next challenges (or even for this one) because I really want to reward your work!

I am also trying to build a Steemit Artists database. For now, I have @aksinya's database that she kindly allowed me to use. (Huge thank you for that!) Please let me know if somebody is missing. And I am also sorry if I added somebody by mistake. Let me know and I would remove you from the list. If anybody doesn't want to be on the list, please let me know. Thank you!

This is a great idea. I always do my best to support artists here on Steemit.
You could add @airmatti to the list.

Awesome! Added! Thanks for the heads up!

Nice! This is your first entry:

OMG! Wow! This wasn't easy for sure! Thank you for your effort and inspiration!

Thank you, it actually faster to make than big paintings, but i guess my hands were steady last night, i could go smaller if i had the right brush. But its a good challenge, looking forward to the next thanks @oceansoul13

I tried draw something tiny too. It's very simple but I like it.
Thank you!

The post with a huge preview :D

I will try to do real life art next time :)

Awww so cute! I love the fact that they are pixel...that can also be tiny hehe. How did you make them? With wich software?

Thank you :)
I admit I didn't do them today, but they are 100% mine. I used Photoshop, very small canvas zoomed in. I turn off the grid and use nearest neighbour option for scaling up. Recently I bought Aseprite, I've heard its great for pixel art especially animation, just have to learn it well. (So far it has some similarities to Photoshop)

Cool! It doesn't matter as long as it's your work and it fits the theme :D Didn't work in Aseprite so I don't know...but I love Photoshop hehe

Awesome! Thank you, feel less nervous now xD

Thank you @errymil for this balanced artwork! It's amazing and here it is so everyone can see:

Thank you

Thank you organizing this challenge, here is my entry-boy was it hard! I hope you like it 🙃

https://steemit.com/tinyartchallenge/@thetruthbomb/tiny-art-challenge

Thank you for this amazing entry. Yes, it's hard...I thought it'll be much easier but when I started to draw this owl...crazy :) that's why it's really a challenge :D

Pleasure was mine, will try to make more.

Here is your entry, I think it's cool to share the picture of your work here too :D

Thank you 😊

Nice. I m resteeming for ore exposure. Good luck everybody !

Thank you so much @dutchess!

Great idea! Good luck

Nice one! Here it is:

Well, I did it again it seems... these are not animals.... so... here we go again... I got so enthused that I forgot about the theme and this is not it. I will have to flag this one as well....

Sorry again... :(

Technically we humans are animals 😉

Well, I don't want to cheat and submit something that may end up winning something if it is not by the rules. I am a very fair person. It wrecks my soul and causes me to get depressed when I think I have crossed the line. So until I get more people to agree with your feelings, I will continue to withhold this entry from this morning at bay.
Thank you so much for trying to lift my spirits. I just was so excited that no further than 2 feet from me ... hanging on the wall was that painting of the beach and I just was not thinking. And blindly entered it.
You are truly sweet... Thank you for your comment

That's fair-am sure you will find something :)

Oh, I taught you wanted to make a point that we are animals too :D for now, there's no prize to this as it's challenge not a contest so don't feel bad about this, but maybe a third luck...something newly drawn just for this contest? :D

Hi oceansoul13, thanks for your great idea. Please add me to your database, I'm a painter (and a bunch of other things). Will get started on a tiny animal later today. Blessings!

I've drawn another one, too! Here it is! How do you like it?

This so beautiful and detailed:)

Hello oceansoul13. Thanks for this great challenge. Here is mine:
https://steemit.com/tinyartchallenge/@sopa-pekar/tiny-art-challenge-animal

Beautiful entry dear @sopa-pekar! Here it is, but the post could use more info :) Beee :D

Thank you oceansoul13. Sorry i didn't say more in the post, my Internet is very spotty & i was worried the photo wouldn't load. I drew this sheep with watercolor pencil, am working on another tiny animal. Thanks for the challenge (which i upvoted & resteemed).

I understand, my connection is sometimes in a mess too...Awesome, soon new #tinyartchallenge will be announced...there are some surprises so... :D

Could you add me to your list please
?

Sure, you are now in my artists database and will be on my next posts :)

What a great idea! Could you add me to your list please? I usually work with textiles... "Grow" my own fibres. Upvoted and following

Added, thanks! Awesome, nice to have you with us!

Thanks. Very busy just now but will join in later
