Hey!
Welcome to the Monthly Drawing Challenge of December 2019!
This challenge is the continuation of the challenges back at the KDE forum.
Since the last challenge there didn’t have any participants, the same topic is used for this one, chosen by victus_maestro, the winner of the last challenge.
You can find the results of that challenge here: last challenge.
The topic for this month is:
inversion
As always, you can use the hashtag #kritachallenge on social media to talk about this challenge!
Good luck, have fun!
How the challenge works
There is a new topic every month, which is chosen by the winner of the last challenge.
Every drawing should be somehow related to the current topic.
You can submit your image until the 24 of December 2019 by posting an image as answer in this thread. Collaborative works are allowed. After the drawing time is over, you can vote for the winner in a poll, which runs for seven days.
When there are less than two participants in a month, the deadline is extended until there are at least two participants.
When there are multiple winners, one is chosen at random to provide the next topic.
A question, wouldn’t it make more sense to host these here? I think it would be somewhat good to centralize the Krita community activity, and this is a great site! What do you think?
Very interesting! Looks really cool when inverted too! Two questions, is that water color feel using a brush with the color smudge engine, and in the inversion on of the arm, is that a filter applied to a selection that you painted? How did you do that?
Thanks! I used a very messy brush for the underpaintings and my main brush is indeed just Krita’s palette knife brush with rotation applied to it. And the inversion effect was done by just making a new inverted layer on top of the original then erased.
I think since there was not much participation other than @KIRE, this initiative might have went un-noticed by our members. Since @KIRE was sole participant I think they can choose next topic. We need to restart this contest. What do you say @jmf ?
Hi @SoniaBennett
We can start from march with a new topic or the last topic. Something @KIRE can suggest. @jmf handles the monthly contest every month, I’ll ping them on IRC and check about this.
Hi, I just discovered Krita’s Monthly Challenge last year, participated once, then got busy with other things. Recently I joined art challenges in other community too so I recall Krita’s, checked how it is and realized Krita forum moved to this new platform like BlenderArtist.
So, can we make this continue again? I saw @jmf last seen is Jan 18, so did you pinged them on IRC @raghukamath? I see that people are more active here compared to when the old one. I saw you guys did virtual plein air, etc and people do join. I really hope that this one can be revived, it would be really dissappointing to see it discontinued after those years jmf was doing his best to keep it alive.
It’s a being year, and I’m pretty sure everyone is busy with all that is happening around the world. But can we still have the challenges? It’s something that would help me (and hopefully others) to improve.
