Last one of the set! There’s been a lot of back and forth over how effective masks really are. It’s a debate I’ve personally found curious, because in Hong Kong it’s standard to wear masks when ill just out of courtesy. Now that it’s actively being encouraged in many places, though, please consider wearing a mask when you go out to help protect yourself and the people around you!

Aaand here’s another drawing that started out with me getting starry-eyed over some shoes. I swear it’s not an addiction.

I miss having a pair of Doc Martens. I haven’t owned any since my mildly pretentious yet endearingly angsty goth punk days of yore. ☠️ I think past me would be scandalised to see I’ve swapped out all black for pastels and pinks. Ah, how times have changed!

Currently playing the “whatever you touch can kill you” anxiety game. I try not to freak myself out too much, but Hong Kong is a dense city that relies on public transportation to function, so there’s a pretty huge chance you’re gonna touch something that 472635 other people have also gotten their mitts on. Plus, I’m a chronic face-toucher. H E L P.

It’s been a while since I last did a DTIYS challenge! Here’s one based on the wonderful work of @madie_arts. I love diving into these whenever I‘m experimenting with my own style. It’s kind of liberating? Like you get to draw something neat, but the framework’s been laid out so you can let your mind wander a bit and enjoy the process. ✏️

Hong Kong has, unfortunately, seen a recent uptick in new COVID-19 cases. While the current containment measures being implemented here aren’t as stringent as elsewhere, it doesn’t mean that people have stopped being vigilant about their safety or the safety of others. If there’s anything I’m grateful for during these tough times, it’s this community effort and the shared understanding that our actions affect not only ourselves but everyone around us. Let’s all play our part in keeping our neighbours and loved ones healthy!

All this down time has had me thinking about the kind of illustration I love doing. Mostly I’ve discovered that (surprise, surpise) my attention span is not cut out for things that take massive amounts of time. Rendering in detail is hell for me, and my favourite part of the creative process is the beginning — when you have something in your head, and you slap down shapes and colours trying to get that idea down.

This is a little experiment that springs out of that. I’m simplifying my colour palettes and cutting out all the stuff I don’t think I need. Really digging how it turned out, so yeah, you’ll be seeing way more of this style! ✨

A crash course in looking fab when your nose is itchy AF and half your face is soaked in sweat. Anyone else wishing they could wear a little lipstick? (Kidding aside, stay safe, everyone! And as the old saying goes, wash yer damn hands! )
