Here are my 3 objects for this first exercise: a boat, drawn from a painting (whose author I haven't found), an old telephone, and an oil lamp, drawn from photos.
These 3 objects share an aesthetic that I like, and that made me want to draw them.
They also bring back childhood memories and emotions.
The boat reminds me of pirate movies and the world of sailors. Adventure, freedom, but also danger, the harsh life...
The telephone is a familiar object from my childhood, associated with a whole host of memories. It also reminds me of old movies: the telephone on the detective's desk in old thrillers. For me, it also symbolizes communication, as long as the line is not cut.
The oil lamp reminds me of the power cuts on stormy nights, the house plunged into a mysterious darkness...
It was a pleasure to return to traditional paper and pencils and immerse myself in my memories!
