Hello Steemians!

Week 2 of the #zencolouringcontest starts now!

Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 2 SBD for 1st place.

To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked by the winner of the previous week. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).

There is no featured colour this week.

The contest will run week to week, to provide enough time for entrants to colour in the pattern. It's Zen for a reason!

This week's contest will run as follows:

Tuesday 20th, 18:00 CET - 'Week Starts' post
Tuesday 27th, 09:00 CET - 'Week Ending' post
Tuesday 27th, 15:00 CET - 'Winners Showcase' post
Tuesday 27th, 18:00 CET - 'New Week Starts' post
(CET - Central European Time)

No entries are accepted after the 'Week Ending Post'

I absolutely love this! I think most, when they think of "zen" would think of cool blues and greens (myself included)! However, I think there is also something very zen about watching a fire, and your illustration really demonstrates that! :)

I have to say something about this one and it’s color patterns, makes me want to just stare at it! Beautiful work as usual @ivanusaur

oh thank you very much guys! Im just starting out steam, I just turn a week old yesterday. :) thank you for the support. comments like this gives me the drive to do better. I really like how you guys appreciated my works. I have seen your works as well and I am very impressed. I guess we all have given justice to this competition. thank you so much! good luck to all of us @zoeytanddesign @lildebbicakes. Thank you to @magiccleatus as well for this wonderful contest. Amazing amazing amazing :)

Looks like you and I are entering some of the same contests @ivanusaur I just got through entering something in The Artstorm Contest, and seen your beautiful artwork and post for the flower 🌺 festival. Amazing. Good luck with that and this contest and yes welcome to the art community! Have fun.

I love the way you colored this, it definitely has a medieval feel to it! The 'blades' make it easy to take in the direction you have chosen to take it! For me it feels more medieval warlike than zen, but I bet you were zen while you were working on it! very nice! :) I'll keep an eye out for your other works!

@erinn, have you seen your work? that was amaaaazing! I feel like when our two works meet, it will create a steam. hahaha ice and fire :) Thank you very much! Good luck to all of us!

Thank you! It's just something I love to do, and this contest was great inspiration and opportunity to do it! ...Ice and Fire! Haha! I like that! You mean STEEM don't you!? ;) Yes, good luck to all! There are a lot of really pretty designs on here!

So creative - I LOVE your take on this :)

Thank you @gardeningchef for letting me know you like it! I love mine too (because I love making things like this), BUT truth be told there's a lot of them on here that I also love! They are beautiful! It is really interesting to see all of the different interpretations of this design!

Love this beautiful moving one @erinn!

Thank you @lildebbiecakes for your appreciation! Your name is like a subliminal diet buster! LOL ;)

Aha! Someone else likes motion!!!

I do like motion! I also love how you applied motion to yours!! It does feel very zen :)

Nice contest! For your information, I just added it to my monday's contest list :
🏆🏆🏆🎨 Unleash your creativity 26/02-04/03 ! List of ongoing drawing, painting and crafts contests

Awesome, Thank you! sorry I had not seen this sooner! :D

Wow! I haven't seen this one until just now... That's nice! Just wow. Very unique choices you've made in coloring this! I almost has a medieval feel, but earthy enough color choices to keep it in the zen realm for me. I'm supposed to be an earth sign, but I almost never use those colors... You've done it beautifully! I missed it by a hair last week too... Lol!

@gardeningchef, Lovely color combinations, very striking isn’t it!

@erinn thank you for your very thoughtful words about my entry! Too kind. I was feeling a medieval vibe half way through so its funny you should mention that. It got me thinking about shields in Skyrim!

@lildebbiecakes thanks so much! I'm so glad my work has been well received :)

Sounds like fun. Thanks for the contest.

Thanks! :)

Your use of gradients gives this a more 3d feel, and I love the colors! The little silvery touches between the 'blades' really gives it an almost royal feel! Very pretty!

I just saw this post yesterday, I will definitely join this week's contest..

Brilliant! I'm looking forward to your entry! :D

The next color, I choose blue.
