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

2.) Make a post about your entry with the first tag #tinyartchallenge
3.) Link your post in the comment below.

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:

Here is my Submission. Tiny Caribou....

I will have to post another photo since my phone camera cant seem to focus on Tiny Caribou

Still looking so good :)

Try better lighting and tap on screen for focus if touch screen :)
