Zen Colouring Contest #28 - || The Zen Speckled Cat || - A chance to WIN SBD by colouring a weekly pattern!

magiccleatus (57) in zencolouringcontest • 7 years ago

Hey Steemians!

Week 28 of #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 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.

To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).

The featured colour this week is Pastel Colour Palette
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:

The inspiration for this stencil is cats, BIG ones! The main design is of course a lions face and the patterns inside some sections resemble those of other big cats. A tiger's stripes, a cheetah's dots, a jaguar's patches and a leopard's spots. Another animal for the creatures & critters collection of this contest's stencils!

Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!

I love the pulsating neon animation, it is very eye catching. The pattern of colours is accentuated by the use of black in the background and inside the lion's mane.

Thanks for entering and supporting the #zencolouringcontest!

Thanks for naming Winter Palette! as your suggestion for next weeks featured colour!
