What does May 5 mean?

On May 5, 1862, the Mexican Army surprised everyone by beating the French at the Battle of Puebla. This holiday is celebrated to honor that success. In pop culture, Cinco de Mayo is often mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day, but it’s really a day of Mexican history and pride, especially in Puebla and among Mexican-Americans in the US.

Improve the look of your coloring by adding texture. Stippling and cross-hatching are two methods that can help you do this.
