Colouring Art Challenge (2022)

Colouring Art Challenge (2022)

SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED. Submissions of all participants will be uploaded to the challenge post around July 15th. See y'all soon! • What is the colouring art challenge? The colouring art challenge is essentially a challenge where you get to fill in and colour line art of art pieces created by me. Digital and traditional colouring are both accepted.  • These are not art pieces that I have made public so you’ll be going in without any proper reference besides simple OC info, a colour palette and past art that possibly involves the OC that is optional to follow.  • What exactly would you be colouring? All the line art provided, will revolve around my OCS, with at least one OC group line art. Colouring and creating backgrounds are highly encouraged but completely optional. You only need to colour one but are free to colour more. • What do I win? Nothing. This is simply a fun challenge that I created last year for my discord server to allow artists and non-artists to have fun or practice colouring. I figured I’d host it not only there but here as well! • Do I have to be a good artist? Absolutely not! This is open to every of all skill levels. The main aim is to simply have fun and practice colouring techniques.  • How do I enter? Simply comment down that you’re interested in joining and tell me what you're interested in colouring. The challenge doesn’t officially start until June so consider this the sign-up sheet.  I’ll pm all those interested at the end of the month if they’re still keen and will give them a link to the drive with a guide and the line art.  • When do we submit our finished coloured pieces? The challenge officially finishes at the end of June (July 14th for extensions). On July 15th I’ll upload a challenge where you can submit your finished piece, where I’ll share all submissions.  • What happens after? I’ll be colouring in these line art pieces as well (since they’re canon to my universe) and be uploading my own versions with lore! Anyways, if you have questions feel free to let me know in the comments! I’ll answer and include them for a faq in the provided guide.  *The art pieces used in the image are all previous entries for last year's colouring art challenge.  ALL LIKES, SHARES AND COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED!

-kit-thediamondeagle-...so there were options...

...and that's just like little sneaky move that's not so sneaky.

so, yeah, a moment ago there happened colouring challenge hosted by sushi cat.

as you can read in challenge's description it's main purpose is to encourage you to have fun while practicing colouring. and haru can attest for that to be very true statement as thanks to sushi cat's great care throughout the process of guiding you, all you are left with to do is just have the joyous time while experimenting in the ways of colouring.
...
and so haru presents to you some, daring to say, quite simple and basic coloring of characters.
.
why haru dares to say basic? -it's because the way haru choose to approach this challenge was by following the colour guide quite a lot as the first step. haru liked how easy it was to see characters come along by colouring in them based on information given.
.
now then the next step haru choose was to playfully apply colorful shades/highlights to give more depth while not having great pressure on oneself.
.
as well you could say that it was haru applying the newfound knowledge and test skills acquired along the journey of playfully exploring digital art on mobile phone.
.
so to say, for the next step haru choose to integrate haru's own photography for background. haru knows that it's not exactly colouring with brush pixel by pixel. that's what was tickling in this case. is it really okay for haru to do so? but let's look at it like this - sushi encourages you to have fun to be yourself and the most recent fun of being myself is adapting photography in drawings as the base for exploring the emotions/moods. as for its core element being the switch for motion in one's mind.
.
and then to all that just add some edits to really soak in all the fun of being the artist haru is while still being true to the original sushi created. haru thinks that haru did well. what are your thoughts on it?
