Description Well, this is the colored version of my other draw. Now, I'm going to explain what is this festivity, for the ones who doesn't know what the hell is it:

In Mexico, on November 1st is the day of the deaths. It is NOT a festivity of adoration to the death, is a day in wich the people remember their loved people who died recently or a long time ago. Also, is a day in wich we make fun of the death, dressing like skelletons and writing "calaveras" (is like a poem but with paroding references to the death).
Altars are made, offering our deaths their favorite food, clothes, stuff and some other things. Is a family day, and a very important one. We do conmmemorative flags of the day, generally in black, purple or orange (that's why of the flags in my draw) and we also make sugar-skulls with our names on them, representing our future in a comic way.

I think that's all, so..........

Great! "Día de Muertos" me encanta esa festividad, dejando afuera los dulces x3 o las comidas, puedes velar y recordad a tus parientes ya fallecidos. En mi caso mi Padre (T^T)

¡¡GREAT WORK!! ;D

A mí también, es de mis favoritas C:

Más que nada por los altares y el pan de muerto~

Y bueno, también porque puedo honrar a mis seres queridos.


Gracias!!

para mi es una de las fechas mas importantes, por que es parte del patrimonio cultural que aun queda vigente en Mexico ^^ y yo le tengo bastante aprecio a las tradiciones que se han conservado a lo largo del tiempo. ( wow si ke me inspire (?) )
