I try to draw every day, and I am

inspired by my everyday encounters.

Whether it is a memory that I

suddenly thought of or something that

makes me feel happy or reminiscent.

As I am currently based in London and

we are in a lockdown, drawing to me is

a therapeutic process to ‘travel’ to

different places and memories.

Recently, I have been missing home a

lot and I love researching old

traditional Hong Kong objects and

interior design. When I recall some

specific objects I used to see in my

childhood, I message my family to see

if they can take photos for me in Hong

Kong, as well as researching online for

myself. Then I start sketching these

items roughly on my sketchbook with

a fine tip pen. I try to use sketchbooks

more often as it allows me to

appreciate every stroke I draw, even if

there is a mistake. For me, sketching

like this feels more authentic and ‘real’.

Then I use either Photoshop or

Procreate to fill in the colours and

textures.

When creating patterns and prints, I

really recommend creating them on

Procreate, as they have a function

called “Drawing Assist” and it is super

helpful when you have a wallpaper

print or tile design you want to create

in a short amount of time. Then, I

experiment with colour

combinations, seeing what works and

what doesn’t work. For colours, I often

draw inspiration from Victo Ngai,

who is a Los Angeles based illustrator

from Hong Kong and she has a

SkillShare class called ‘Color

Masterclass: Simple Steps to Create

Vivid Art’. Her works are always an

inspiration to me, they are very

intricate but also very vibrant with

perfectly balanced colour and

patterns.

我 嘗 試 每 日 都 繪 畫 , 因 為 我 的 靈 感 源

於 日 常 經 歷 , 可 能 是 突 然 想 起 的 回

憶 , 或 是 一 些 令 我 快 樂 或 懷 緬 的 事

情 。 因 為 我 現 在 身 處 倫 敦 , 而 我 們 正

在 封 城 中 , 繪 畫 對 我 是 一 個 治 癒 的 過

程 , 帶 我 「 遊 覽 」 不 同 地 方 和 回 憶 。

最 近 我 很 想 家 , 我 很 喜 歡 研 究 傳 統 老

香 港 的 物 件 和 室 內 設 計 。 當 我 記 起 兒

時 見 過 的 某 些 特 別 物 件 , 我 就 會 通 知

家 人 , 問 他 們 可 否 幫 我 在 香 港 找 那 些

物 件 拍 照 , 我 也 會 自 己 上 網 研 究 , 之

後 就 會 開 始 用 細 尖 的 筆 在 畫 簿 粗 略 素

描 那 些 物 件 。 我 盡 量 多 用 畫 簿 , 因 為

即 使 會 出 錯 , 我 也 可 以 欣 賞 自 己 的 每

一 筆 。 對 我 來 說 , 這 樣 的 素 描 感 覺 較

為 實 在 和 真 實 。 之 後 , 我 就 會 用

Photoshop 或 Procreate 加 上 色 彩 和 質

感 。
