SketchDaily2.10: Chinese New Yearby =mintyfreshmangos

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Storybook

So it's Chinese New Year today! ;v; I had a busy day with family and I have to get out of here in a sec to have dinner with them.

I have a huge family, but Chinese New Year eve is always one of the most quiet holidays for us. It usually just me and my mom, dad and brother. We would lay out food for our ancestors, and then all of us would pray for a good year together. Usually, I just do this without much thinking, but this year, since my family was pretty busy, I had to pray alone.

I have to say I don't really believe in this kind of stuff, but when I was facing the meticulously set bowls of rice and wine I felt almost embarrassed to greet them and ask for good fortune. It was almost like I was afraid they would say no or deem me unworthy or something. I wonder if they would be proud of me or approve of what I'm doing with my life. I guess there is a little bit of doubt in me haha. ;v;

I prayed to find a place where I belong this year. My life is a bit unsteady right now and I know this is asking for a lot, but it would be nice if you guys can give me some ground to stand on. ;v;

Happy Chinese New Year, guys.

I throught chinese new year should be happy times with families and friends. But the girl on the picture looks so sad and alone.

THAT GIRL IN THE PIC IS TOTALLY ME. ;v; Well, during that time my family was busy so I had to pray alone. But it's ok, we all had dinner later on! XD I'm definitely not in short supply of family!

Beautiful picture, I absolutely love the mood the lighting sets. <3

If you need ground, I will be packed dirt bro! I'll do my best, anyway. XD If you ever need me for anything, anything at all, just toss a message my way.

And I am 100% positive your prayer will be answered! I wish you all the luck in this coming year.
