PUPA Butterfly Badge 2021

by TokyoMoonlight, 4 hours and 38 minutes ago
Journals / Personal

Hello dear @ArtChrysalis members!

Since you were all so creative and dedicated to creating art, it's time to recognize your great effort.

Just a little reminder, the PUPA Challenge is not a contest, it's not a competition, or who's better or who's on top. The challenge is for everyone to improve their art skill and get better as an artist. But mostly to have fun!

The PUPA Challenge is your own art story and journey of your creative soul.

The PUPA Challenge is posted each month in a year, so in total there are 12 PUPA Challenges per year.

Depending on how many PUPA artworks each artist created in the specific year, the artist gets the appropriate butterfly badge.

The artwork can be made during the official period of the individual PUPA Challenge or made after, as part of the Late PUPA. But it has to be made in the current year. This is mostly fair to the members who join the group in a later time.

PUPA Butterfly Badge 2021

The artists who completed all 12 PUPA Challenges - 100%

The artists who completed at least 9 PUPA Challenges - 75%

The artists who completed at least 6 PUPA Challenges - 50%

@Sekemolados : 7
@Ghost999919 : 7

The artists who took part in at least 1 PUPA Challenge

We would also like to thank

for allowing us to use their photographs as references for our PUPA 2021 artworks.

Thank you for the support!

Thank you all for taking part in the PUPA Challenges!

Hello everybody! An open invitation with some 'treats' Popcorn

Earn quartzes!!!Read this journal for instructionsHi there!! I was listening to a song whose lyrics are in Portuguese languege, by a Brazilian 70's group Secos & Molhados. At some moment I decided to check the song's Lyrics English translation, since I don't speak Portuguese, and show that they are trying to talk about Love as a blue, light as feather, airy and gentle thing. At the same time the song says that there is no way for such a thing to exist!,The song is 'Amor' : https://lyricstranslate.com/en/amor-love.html-0 My mind instantly went to a painting I made recently :,I think they make a perfect match, lyrics and picture, because autumn leaves can be an awsome view to see but also hide a disapointment. Blue element is also present in my picture as it is in the song. The challenge to earn badges:Can you match an artwork of yours with the lyrics of a song? Go ahead and take a look at your own gallery. As you scroll around your art creations try to think of a song or listen to your favourite music. When the matching appears in your thoughts, come to this joural and make a comment including a link to your artwork and a link to the lyrics of the song and the song itself if you like. You can also do the oposite: Choose a song and make an artwork (painting, sculpting, photography, anything) that visualy represents the meanning and descriptions from this song's lyrics. It doesnt matter if it is an old or new submition as long as it is your own creation from your gallery, NOTfrom your Favourites collection.I have made a first comment as an example. Do the same whenever you have a submition that fits the above descriptions. It doesn't have to be a 1-1 match . As long you can explain what triggered the pairing of the specific song's lyrics with your artwork, it will be accepted. A matching by the song's title will also be accepted, witch means you can also use instrumental music. But there has to be some words that come from the music piece anyway.The prizes : : 1st(by time of correct comment placement) valid comment: 100 points + 1 emerald 2nd(by time of correct comment placement) valid comment: 100points + 1quartz next 200 valid comments: 1 quartzI have about 300 fragments in my account and some points all earned by various challenges. If 200 comments appear at this journals and the fragments bucket empties, I'll let you know to stop expecting an award!! ...Until that time comes, you can participate with as many submitions as you want by commenting at this journal of course. Participate any time you want, don't push it, the challenge will stay open until it closes, there is no time line.Invalid comments will be rejected and prompted to follow the rules if possible. Indecent comments will be deleted and discarded.I'm checking my account very oftenly these days, and I won't miss out your comment, sooner or later. A-ba-da-bi-ba-da-bi-ba-da-be, Let the games begin falks! I hope to see you participate!!...

I hope you all participate any time you like! Woohooooo!

Thanks for accepting me in your new group. I could really do with a good art challange, the first photo is something that I wouldn't do usually, so it will be interesting to do.

The favourites gallery should be really good as well, I love seeing great photos that inspire people and can be used to turn into great art.

I can't wait to see what creative things you all do

TokyoMoonlight Featured By Owner Jan 4, 2021 Traditional Artist

You're welcome.

About the favorites folder...I have sent you a note regarding this.

Please check.

Thanks for the invitation to the group. Looks like the first photo challenge is right up my street!

TokyoMoonlight Featured By Owner Jan 2, 2021 Traditional Artist

Thank you for joining

!
A lovely photo that was chosen.

I personaly would try 1000 art media. XD
I probably should do watercolor, but it so screams for acrylics. And since I'm learning digital art, I would like to try this also.

So many options.

Can't wait to see all the artworks.

Flammenfeder Featured By Owner Dec 29, 2020 Hobbyist Writer

A general question from a complete beginner: Would it be a good idea to just start with trying out PUPA challenges or should I focus on learning other things first, if I'd like to get into digital art a bit (just as a minor hobby)?

TokyoMoonlight Featured By Owner Dec 29, 2020 Traditional Artist

Hello

You can do a drawing or a painting with what ever art media you are comfortable with.

You just try to create an artwork to the best of your abilities.

There are three ways to learn the art proces. Either by reading art theory, watching, reading art tutorials...focusing on the theory.
Then you can learn the theory and also try certain exercises by implementing what you learned in theory (practice). Or you skip the theory and tutorials and just do art and learn that way. Learning by practice.
Which is right?...

the middle is always good. But to each its own.

So regarding the PUPA Challenge and learning. This challenge is also therfor to learn new things, to improve your art process. So if you know basic digital art (layers, brushes, color picking), you can use this challenge to try to create an artwork based on the photo that will be chosen. That way you will learn where you get stuck, where you struggle and what you need to learn more. You will do a sketch then you will have to start to paint it. So you will have to figure out which brushes to use, which parts to paint first. That way you will also learn your painting program a little bit better, because you will have an actual challenge. How do I paint the water, how do I do a tree foliage etc. You will have an actual "problem" that you will have to solve.

If you aren't comfortable yet, you can do the challenge in private and don't have to post the end result on DA, or in the group. As long as you try at home, the challenge did work. It's for you personally that YOU do the artwork...no one has to see it, if you think you aren't happy with it.

It's completely up to you.

I hope this answered your question.
