The Kiwi Coloring Corner - Calling all creative kiwis! Join in a workshop made for those who seek to improve in the arts.

[Double Taps]

Two questions: Am I allowed to post Works In Progress? and Are Animated works eligible for submission?

Ideally, you post it all at once. Some other submissions have theirs in a spoiler tag with all stages included. If you want to make something animated, go for it.

Dance of the Stickerfags

Spoiler: words

Title: Dance of the Stickerfags
Medium: Paint Tool Sai 2
Challenge Name: Technical Line Work
Description: The kiwis, devastated by the loss of sticker reaction scores, perform a ritual dance around their sticker idol under a crescent cheese-moon. They hope to grab the attention of their deity Joshinti and receive their precious scores back.
Art Specific Critique: Always, be as harsh or light as you see fit.
Challenge Feedback: In addition to what others have said, I think something inspired by ancient cave paintings and scratchings was a wise choice for the first challenge. It's so easy neanderthals did it, great for enticing new or rusty artists to try.

Title: Arrival of The Dick Vid
Medium: Guoache
Challenge Name: Technical Line Work
Description: This Akkadian mural inspired work depicts the day the Farms were shut down by the mass of people trying to access the Destiny dick sucking video. In the image, the proud kiwis look on in agony as their village is attacked by this dick video as they try to save their precious cow threads (depicted as eggs) from the monster.
Time Spent: About 6 hours. I'm still learning and I have to keep waiting for parts to dry.
Art Specific Critique: Yes and please be harsh. I just started a year ago and I really want to get as good as I can, so I really appreciate feedback. That would help me so much.
Permission for users to edit: Yes! No need to ask.
Challenge Feedback: This was a clever starting challenge.

I’m still workin’ on it!

Same. The deadline is the 20th I believe. Plenty of time still, just don't sit on then rush. That always messes me up.

Title: Emperor Joshua
Medium: Paper, Ballpoint, Gel Pen, cleanup in PS
Challenge Name: Hatching and Cross Hatching
Description: None, was trying to emulate Brian Bolland and Ryoichi Ikegami
Time Spent: About an hour, maybe 1 and a half
Art Specific Critique: Definitely, Ill take all of it
Permission for users to edit: Sure
Challenge Feedback: Be less vague, I didnt know it was a history kiwi combination, be more specific about the theme next time. Also give an exact deadline.

Title: The great slobber dog
Medium: pen on paper
Challenge Name: Technical Line Work
Description: The great slobber dog watches over us all
Art Specific Critique: I welcome constructive criticism. This is just a rough sketch though, I might come back to it.
Challenge Feedback: Thus is a good first deadline. Simple and to the point.

Title: Wall Glyphs Recovered from Ancient Herding Site
Medium: Digital, Krita
Challenge Name: Technical Line Work
Description: "A large slab of stone resting on a display stand depicting bird-like figures before a herd of cattle. Recovered by archaeologists near the remains of what was once a herding site, a mixture of charcoal and dairy-based paints depict the figures. Theories abound as to the meaning behind these figures, though the prominent larger bird figure appears to hold a significant power, wielding a staff and casting light upon the animals before it." It's Null hosting the site and "casting light" on cows, while Kiwis gather around to observe them.
Time Spent: Somewhere from an hour and a half to two hours.
Art Specific Critique: Yes, I'm still trying to experiment with digital media and line weight as well as color.
Permission for users to edit: Yeah, do whatever.
Challenge Feedback: I thought this was a really clever idea for a first challenge, leaving a lot of wiggle room for how hard someone really wants to make it. Had a lot of fun trying to come up with an idea and translate it to the medium. Originally I wanted to do something more Egyptian but Hieroglyphs and more detailed texturing sounded like too much so I ended up falling back on something a little more simplistic like tribal cave paintings. Also may have spent too long messing with colors and gradients to make it look like an actual museum piece, let me know how it turned out.

 

[Anonitolia]

yeah, of course now is when my drawing tablet decides to break down

Hoping i can still get an entry in somehow but it might be subpar

 

[liam dees]

I’m still workin’ on it!

Same, was gonna share WIP but that's not encouraged, so I will give a minor spoiler and say the piece I am making prominently features kiwis.

There's always good old pen and paper if it comes to it.

Time Spent: 2 to 3 hours in-between work
Art Specific Critique: Sure! Still trying to experiment with pens in Procreate, open to suggestions and pen packs!
Permission for users to edit: Sure

funny how I love Egypt (I’ve been there twice) and am fascinated by mummies and thier mysticism but I felt like it was too predictable, so I made sonichu like the moon from majora’s mask instead. After all Chris is a doomsday cultist at this point.

 

[neger psykolog]

All of the entries are really amazing, hoping I can put something together to submit myself

 

[Zemblan Physics]

I haven’t drawn in 30 years, so this was difficult (but fun). My idea was to draw a bunch of kiwi birds à la Horus but once I started I got carried away, and the challenge kind of got lost on the way. But I tried focusing on line work.

(My eraser is absolute shit, getting a new one for the next challenge.)

Title: Kiwi Farmer with escaped alpaca friend
Medium: Pencil
Challenge Name: Technical line work
Description: See title.
Time Spent: 35 minutes
Art Specific Critique: Yes
Challenge Feedback: A little intimidating, but that’s on me.

 

[Shaneequa]

Title: A.E.

 

[my penis is on fire]

Title: Ancient A-Logs
Medium: Pencil
Challenge Name: Technical line work
Description: "A set of heiroglyphs depicting a cow with an unidentified symbol on its side, a Kiwi yelling about it, and a figure behind it presenting a top hat."
Time Spent: 30 mins
Art Specific Critique: Yes
Challenge Feedback: Not sure what to say, seems like a fine prompt

Never really given a concerted effort to learning how to draw before, so might as well start now.

 

[SneedleDee&SneedleDumb]

I am quite proud of my entry. Putting finishing touches on it within the hour. Hint: inspired by North of the Border
