Thanks for sitting down with us. How did you get into illustration?<\/h3>\n<p>After I finished my two year foundation course in Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education, I decided to apply for a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in graphic design in another country. One of the professors from the admission board suggested I pursue illustration instead since I usually draw things by hand, so I went to Camberwell College of Arts in London to study illustration in 2007. It really ignited my passion for illustrating. Social media wasn\u2019t a huge thing back then, so we would create a blog on Blogger.com and upload our work onto it for people to check out.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214112\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214112\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-dance-900x643.png\" alt=\"Kylie Chan Hong Kong illustrator dance\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-214112 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-dance-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-dance-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-dance.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-214112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kylie also does a lot of printmaking<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>What are your drawings usually about?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually, they\u2019re about personal thoughts in regards to daily life, and quite often they are the negative feelings I have, except for my travel journals. For example, one of my zines, Breakdown, documents little thoughts and behaviours that gets on my nerves on a daily basis, like people cutting in line. It\u2019s a great way for me to vent and unload my emotions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214113\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214113\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-Breakdown-900x643.png\" alt=\"Kylie Chan Hong Kong illustrator Breakdown\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-214113 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-Breakdown-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-Breakdown-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-Breakdown.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-214113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Breakdown is about the little things that get on Kylie\u2019s nerves<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Do you consider yourself an emotional artist?<\/h3>\n<p>Definitely, I\u2019m the kind of person that always puts my feelings first. That might have to do with the fact that I\u2019m an aries (<i>laughs<\/i>). Also, I don\u2019t think I\u2019m a super creative person and I\u2019m scared of being accused of following other people\u2019s style. So what I do with my work is to focus only on my own personal views and perception, then there is no way that they would resemble some other pre-existed work.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do you prefer using only black and white in your drawings?<\/h3>\n<p>One reason is that because I\u2019m not super sensitive to colours. When there are a bunch of colours being incorporated, I feel like it\u2019s confusing and it bugs me a little bit. Using purely black and white colours is the simplest way to depict my feelings, rather than having to consider what other colours I should use. By the time I make up my mind, the feelings will probably be gone already!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_214114\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214114\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-900x643.png\" alt=\"Kylie Chan Hong Kong illustrator\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-214114 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/03\/Kylie-Chan-Hong-Kong-illustrator.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-214114\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I Shoot You You Shoot Me I Shoot You Back is about the characters that illustrator Kylie Chan loves in her favourite action movies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>What do you do as a freelance illustrator in Hong Kong?<\/h3>\n<p>I do illustrations for magazines, murals and portrait drawings.
