WELCOME TO NITPICK NATION
What is this?This is a thread where I post challenges that people can partake in, these challenges will be done to help everyone improve artistically.
Challenges? Like what?Challenges come in three flavors:
-Color Challenge: I give a limited palette/color scheme that you have to use, you are not allowed to do things in your picture that would create new colors, for example, transparency, blurring, smudging, burning, or anything along the same line as those forfeits you from this challenge. You are however allowed to dither/hatch/whatever the colors to give the illusion of blending.
Since this isn't clear, you can use Anti Aliasing. -Subject Challenge: I give a subject, subjects can be objects, people, poses, effects, anything really. Even backgrounds and such. These can vary wildly in between simple things such as "Draw a dog" "Draw a house" to complex things such as "Draw your earliest memory" or "Draw what you think happiness looks like"
-Setting Challenge: I give a setting/theme/feel for the image. These can be many things, such as "Make it scifi" or "Make it sad" to "Make it in the mountains" or "Make it in the sky", or even a mix of the two. Taking this challenge will affect your subject challenge too, for example, if I wanted you to draw your favorite game (Let's say it's Chivalry, because you have poor taste) then the setting was "Sci-fi", then you'd have to make it more 'Sci-fi' like.
Difficulties:Now there are difficulties too! Basically, you can pick from the challenges which one you want to do. You can pick only one from the three, or you can mix
and match them, or choose all of them!
-Easy Difficulty: Choosing only one of the 3 challenges. (Example: Only the Color, or the Subject, or the Setting)
-Medium Difficulty: Choosing two of the 3 challenges. (Example: Color/Subject, or Color/Setting, or Subject/Setting)
-Hard Difficulty: Choosing all 3 of the challenges. (Example: All three of them duh)
You'll get your star fish torn!Once you've decided on the challenges you will do, just start work on your drawings. Feel free to post WIPs, and of course, don't forget to post the finished product. But please note that by posting in this thread, you are asking for criticism, and not rose tinted "oh that's fine" criticism, I'm talking nitpicking "tear you a new starfish and make you forfeit drawing forever" criticism! But still, be nice about it!
Every time I post a new challenge, I will pick what I deem is the 'best' picture objectively and list the username of the artist in the OP so they can brag.
RulesNow of course here's a bunch of rules:
-If it contains blood, gore, or more mature subjects, please link it!
-Be nice when criticizing, and try not to just go "its stuff", explain what's wrong and possibly a way to fix it if you can!
-Don't be butthurt when getting criticized, that's the whole point of this thread.
-Challenges will update every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
