Drawing white on black

My name is Kay Lee. I’m Malaysian. I use a white pencil to capture light and expression on black paper. I especially like to picture artwork in a “low-key” mode, contrast, and dramatic lighting effect, with lots of shadows. It gives depth, mood, feeling, and emotion, with a quiet and mysterious atmosphere. And I like accentuated forms with clean looks too, as I think it can give more substantial visual impact; illumination on a specific portion of the image with very selective use of light…

My favorite material for drawing is watercolor. Watercolor looks like a living being because it "breathes", and it is not always possible to predict the final result. It has something to do with emotions or elements. Sometimes artistic surprises happen in the process of creating a painting or drawing. This unpredictability makes watercolor works unique every time. It is impossible to repeat the same result. But successful results and beautiful surprises can be saved.
