Daphne Bennett

I have taken advantage of the Scrawlrbox and got some new Posca and Derwent Pencils. With the limited palette I started some super quick and simple drawings and I am quite happy with it. Recently I have rediscovered pencil colours, as they are clean and very versatile, and I can use them when I am nap-trapped by Juno. I have hardly touched my only set of Daler-Rowney watercolour pencils since HKCEE, which was gifted by one of my classmates. Perhaps I had always looked down on colour pencils, thinking they belong to kindergarten. But there’s always a sense of silliness and childishness when I draw these days, especially I really don’t have the time to achieve anything delicate and professional looking. 

It’s Bertie’s last week of summer holidays. I feel like we have done nothing but there was no time to sit down and relax at all. I still draw nearly everyday but both my time and attention are so fragmented, I need to look after my dangerous and emotional toddler whatever I am doing (even at this very minute). I only hope I can record these days when I still feel and remember them. On the other hand, I haven’t found a comfortable voice of mine to update this page or a website regularly, so compared to drawing, updating on social media is more difficult.
