magiccleatus (57)in #zencolouringcontest • 6 years ago

Hey Steemians!

Week 44 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 Yellow
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:

@deemarshall donated 2.0 STEEM last week, Thank you!

This week the inspiration of the stencil comes from Space & Planets. Two of my favourite things to look at and draw. Planets can have such mysterious and captivating patterns from their surfaces and clouds. They can even make good patterns when aligned among the stars. Is this stencil a whole solar system or one planet with many moons?

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