Leontine's Winter Challenge
-
@Leontine Challenged me in another thread to create a winter scene using mostly blue with one complimentary color.
So I'm challenging @Leontine and anyone else in the forums to do the same. This will be fun and challenging assignment. No prizes or money will exchange hands : ). Just a good ole fashion challenge that might end up in your porfolio!
-
@Rob-Smith OOOWWW I love it! Thanks! I'll blow you away!
-
That is a great challenge! If I can manage to fit it in, I'll take part...
-
I am definitely going to try and participate in this one - I love winter scenes and I could also use the color limitations to learn from. Any proposed deadline on when we need to have a piece ready by?
-
@Dulcie, @Rich-Green please do! Deadline? Good question. no idea, lets say before xmas? XD I ve already started sketching. Think about my country, The Netherlands. Its very small, and we don't have mountains. we do have snow, Iceskating (where the best), nice houses, windmills and canals. I try and make an illustration that will give you the dutch winterfeeling....
-
@Leontine Christmas will be a good deadline
I've been thinking about this and I've got an idea for it, hopefully it will work...
Lovely picture! I visited Amsterdam a long time ago (school art trip), it was very nice -
Challenge accepted! Sounds fun!!
-
@Rob-Smith maybe you can change the topic name to 'Winter challenge' ? Everybody wants to join in!
-
We may be worn out with winter scenes if you want to participate in this challenge and December's 3rd Thursday challenge which will have to do with Santa's alternative transportation.
-
Fun! Do you want us to post finished pieces here?
-
@Kasey-Snow I think we should post finished works in this thread. Thanks!
-
@seanwelty This is the warming up for the SVScontest! Don't push yourself to hard, but join in the fun if you want to...
-
that's a fun idea
not time to play the game but I will follow your progress ! -
Hi @Rob-Smith Here's my entry for the winterchallenge. Hope you like it! I have several other idea's but so busy with other projects... for for now this is it I think. thanks
-
@Leontine Great image!! I like the simplicity of the background yet it reads clearly. A little hat for the bird...very cool. I'm going to have to work harder!! : ).
I have mine in the works. It will be all digital.
-
This looks like so much fun--thanks, @Rob-Smith!
@Leontine Your entry is super cute, and I like the composition.
I'm not very experienced with colour yet, so I'd love to try a limited color palate. Will try to enter for sure!
-
@K.-W. Thank you!
-
@Leontine Very lovely! It love the concept and the rendering! What a great way to start the challenge!
-
Okay all and @Leontine here is my challenge piece. Comments and critiques are very welcome. Working digitally has been a steep learning curve.
Changes made to the original image based on suggestions by @seanwelty(ice made more subtle), @Leontine(warmth added) and @lonelycatpress(darkened a few areas to improve contrast)
-
I'm in, I'll do this tomorrow morning for my warm up. I need to step away from my 3T piece, too much elf stuff in my head. I think I will do some fan art piece more to my liking. Hope everyone likes Red Sonja...
