Day 30 — I Swear These Were “Simple” Objects

Another day of trucking along, slowly working on my assignments.

Today’s task: a simple product drawing.
In true Celine fashion, I accidentally picked something extremely difficult… twice.

The first time, fair enough—a hand-blown glass object in blue and clear glass that I inherited from my granny. Beautiful, delicate, full of reflections. A nightmare. Predictable.

So naturally, I thought:

let’s simplify.

I switched to my gorgeous pink microphone.

A solid object. No transparency. What could possibly go wrong?

Well.
Everything.

Turns out: curves.
Ellipses.
Perspective.
All slightly tilted, just enough to make me question my entire existence.

If the angle is even a tiny bit off, it stops being a microphone and becomes… a sad, kids drawing.

At this point I’m starting to think the issue is not the objects.

It might be me.

Or more specifically: my deep, unwavering inability to pick something boring.

Do you think my metallic handbag would be easier to draw?
Absolutely not.
Will that stop me?
Also no.

Because honestly—what is worse than sitting there drawing a perfect, obedient little box?

I would rather suffer slightly and enjoy looking at what I’m making.

I also made a collage today, thinking I was too tired to write.
And yet… here we are.

It’s not my most profound work.
But it’s something.
And today, that feels like enough.

I’m going to bed now.

I hope you are well, wherever you are.
