This is my entry for this week's animal colouring contest which is graciously created and hosted by 
Hive account@deemarshall.
This is what the stencil looked like before I started colouring on it:
Each week Hive account@deemarshall puts up three stencils, and everyone is invited regardless of skill level to choose a stencil and colour it any way you want: digital, or print it out and colour it the old fashioned way using any of the various methods whether it be crayons, coloured pencils, markers, water colours, or whatever you choose to use.
Thank you to Hive account@deemarshall for this contest and to 
Hive account@organduo and 
Hive account@laputis for their donations to keep these contests going.
And thanks to 
Hive account@dreemsteem and 
Hive account@bluefinstudios, 
Hive account@xcountytravelers, 
Hive account@thekittygirl, 
Hive account@shadowspub, and to 
Hive account@viking-ventures for their tireless efforts and inspiration for helping me to learn, grow and develop on 
Hive account@steemit.com and this community.
Also want to add 
Hive account@magiccleatus and 
Hive account@lildebbiecakes for creating the envy and
inspiration to push myself for better quality artwork.
