Hey Steemians!

Week 6 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 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).

Fractal Art | Entry for Zen Colouring Contest #6

Click here to come directly to my post.

@benjamon beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, did I mention beautiful! Love It❣️

Thank you very much haha :)

Your work is very beautiful!

This looks great, reminds me of a specular shield somehow, very nice!

This is so good! Incorporating the forest background was genius .This is a classy looking piece, also brilliant to enhance the zen focal point with the not to heavy square and circular design added so awsome!

When somebody look and appreciate details like that about what I did, make me feel great about it. Thank you so much for your comment, good luck in the contest

I want to join using the traditional method (because I have no idea in using art softwares). However, lilac is too complicated to me. I can't find it in the crayons' labels. By the way, I'm a colorblind art fan.

Hey there, please do join in. The featured colour is only really a loose guideline to create interaction in the community and to see if entrants are paying attention to the rules. Any shade of purple is acceptable for this week.

If you can't find purple on the crayon labels then you can colour the pattern in which ever colours you like.

Purple is like violet, right? Ill join hehehe

The beautiful lilac color is so prominent in this amazing zen. It’s pleasing to the eye with the gold highlights. Love the woven looking background a perfect choice in my opinion @itachi24!

Thanks for your kindness words, I like your snake pattern :D

I love this weeks design. Upvoted and resteemed
