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: (with example colours)
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 21st, 18:00 CET - 'Week Starts' post
Tuesday 28th, 12:00 CET - 'Week Ending' post
Tuesday 28th, 15:00 CET - 'Winners Showcase' post
Tuesday 28th, 18:00 CET - 'New Week Starts' post (CET - Central European Time)

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.
Wow! I LOVE the LEO stencil. The perfect design considering we are in the house of LEO right now astrologically. NICE work @magiccleatues 💛 Also I wanted to say how cool the animated upvote comment resteem panel is looking in new animated form! You are always soooooo creative.
