Hello Everybody!

The time you have all been waiting for has arrived! Week 16 of #zencolouringcontest ended earlier today, and now to announce the winners!

So without further ado, let's get on with the show(case)!

In 3rd place:

@meme.elena

I picked this one because I loved the details they added into the sections using their graphics tablet. The combination of the colour palette and shading creates a lot of depth and vibrancy, making it quite the eye catcher!

In 2nd place:

@lildebbiecakes

I chose this one because of the creative use of the pattern, turning it into the eyes of an owl. The enchanting colour scheme of the eyes, from the Pupil to the Sclera - (whites of the eyes), they are incredibly captivating and give off a sense of colouring wisdom!

And in 1st place:

@fersu

I picked this one as the winner because the inspiration of feathers is very unique. The use of white for the outer half of the outline makes the pattern stand out against the dark background, this also makes the colours that they used more prominent and brings the feather inspiration to life as an interstellar dream catcher!

The corresponding prize will be sent when the contest post pays out!
