I’ve spent 2 hours on this artwork mainly using Copic markers on a white sketchbook.
This is also an entry for a drawing competition hosted proudly by @angelina6688 for the first time with an interesting title, 年(nian). I could not find an exact meaning of this word in English, literally, it means Year but in our case this means New Year more, especially in the Lunar favor.
As a Chinese, the Chinese New Year is a festival that I value the most, second to none, not even my birthday. Couldn’t explain why I have such a deep love with it, but I guess it was all due to the celebration feeling, so jubilant, everything seems back to live for the CNY is always tied to the spring.
这幅作品花了两个小时来完成，是一幅完全以马克笔完成的画。这同时也是参加由 @angelina6688 首次隆重主办的绘画比赛，主题是玩味无穷的年。
自小我对过年（春节）有种说不出的情意结。春节也是我最重视的节日，没有之一，甚至还在我生日之上。生日不过无所谓，春节却不可以。可能钟爱年所带来的欢乐气氛吧，虽然大马没有春天，但每逢佳节万物似乎都像活过来了一般，到处一片生机勃勃，就连讨厌的办公室都弥漫着一股喜庆味。
这次选的题材是特别有味道的过年指定动作，贴春联。妈妈高举着双手忙碌的把春联贴上好迎接新年，虽然乡下的穷日子不太好过，但春节总会让人心存期待，期待来年更顺遂丰收。孩童们似懂非懂的看着大人们忙进忙出，幼小的心灵可能还不知道这一切的意义，但是年已经慢慢在他们心中留下了种子。
我特意把背景都黑白化，唯独把春联的喜庆红色涂上，带出对比性，同时也寓意着红彤彤的年足以把暗淡无光的日子重新洗刷一番，注入活力。
此画根据真实图片所绘，更改了构图和配色，也算是临摹吧！
