Monthly Art Challenge – September 2025 – A Breezy Day

Hello Krita Artists :waving_hand:

It’s time for a new art challenge!

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the August challenge by submitting wonderful art, and also to our members who took the time to vote.

@Lynx3d won the most votes and has created the theme for this month’s challenge.


A Breezy Day

I’ll leave it up to you how to illustrate a breezy day.

Think of pure nature, characters, and activities like sailing, flying kites etc… Warm, cold, night or day, as long as it gets across a breezy or windy atmosphere.

I’m thinking of a day where a gust can blow your hat off, not a storm that breaks off limbs of a tree or something like that.

Optional Challenge

Add an element that makes the scene a unique moment, something that would’ve been missed seconds later. (We’ll all keep this SFW, right? :smiley: )


Please post only artworks and discussion related to submitted artwork in this thread. There is a WIP thread for each monthly art challenge in which you can ask questions and post your works in progress (WIPs).

Rules

  • The composition should be your own and not an exact copy from someone or somewhere else. If you are using a reference photo taken by anyone other than yourself, please ensure the license allows for its use and include a credit to the photographer with your submission.
  • Artwork should be done in Krita. Submissions must be done from scratch in Krita, no paint-over or tracing allowed. Photobashing is allowed only when explicitly specified in the topic.
  • The topic changes every month. Your submission should be somehow related to the topic. If possible, please add a few lines explaining your idea and image.
  • No AI-generated images are allowed, not even partial use of AI and paint over. It is unfair for those who are drawing from scratch.
  • You can post a maximum of 3 entries and also edit the entries until the deadline. All your entries will be clubbed during the vote and you only get one vote. Reply with your entries to this post in this thread. All entries must appear in a single post. Please do not post your submissions in any other category on Krita-Artists until voting has closed and the winner is declared.
  • In order to have the image featured, the entries need to be safe for work so please avoid any NSFW or controversial content. The moderators can use their discretion to disqualify the image from the contest with prior notice. Of course, the artist will be given the chance to submit an alternate image or change it.
  • Submissions will be accepted until 2025-09-26T18:00:00Z, at which time the topic will automatically close. You can check how much time is left at the bottom of the thread.

We will hold a poll at the end of the challenge period. The artwork with the most votes will be the winner.

Prize

  • The winner will be featured on this website in the featured artwork row.
  • The winner will have the privilege to set the next topic of their liking. If the winner is not available or reachable, then the 1st runner up will be asked to provide the topic and challenge.
  • The winner will also be awarded the Monthly Art Contest Winner badge.

Please spread the word about this art challenge by posting your artwork on various social media websites with the hashtag – #KritaChallenge. If possible, include a link to the forum post.

I hope we will enjoy this exercise so let us begin.

P.S. Note we can change the rules based on the feedback on this contest and modify the format. Any suggestions are welcome. To submit feedback, please create a new topic in the Site Feedback category.

This is a pretty random submission, but the challenge prompt gave me an idea for one of my characters I’ve been wanting to do more art of, so here it is I guess…

maybe I’ll have more time to make a couple more submissions better than this, but we’ll see.

Here’s submission 2! its a picture of my dog who loved catching the wind from the car window!

My entry for this month, not the first idea that came but it was the more relaxing.
Wednesday suddendly became free so I finished the second on in time :grinning_cat_with_smiling_eyes: tried to somes littles changes. And no hat from me even if it’s go really well with a breezy day (or I may be little too fixated on that idea).

My submission for this month’s challenge. Hopefully it comes off breezy enough. Would’ve added one of the sheep being carried away but I don’t think it would be in the spirit of the rules/challenge :upside_down_face:

Second challenge completed, hope to keep this going.

Hello Eysselia. What a wonderful depiction of a breezy day. I’m really enjoying your work. I like how you presented the main components in silhouette. I didn’t think of doing that for my own submission. You did really well. I’m sure others will think so too.

Great work guys, as usual.

A simple piece for me this time around. Been busy, but also finally getting back to exercises and small drawings as well.
