It was definitly not my comfort-zone.
I didn’t get to finish it to the level of line-drawing, I have a rough shadow-pass.
I started having to much fun I think^^
I kept on making stories to my self - mudleling up the original given story, so when I draw this with pen, I’ll try to be more faithful.
One of my ideas was to make room so that there could be a person standing outside and look in at the figurine.
A lot of the elements in the drawings has been inspired by personal elements.
First of all - the room itself is designed after old pictures from my highschool - and I actually had that room as a classroom for a short amount of time.
I have put a picture in the reference-picture.
The figurine in the window was designed and inspired by a beautiful porcelain figurine I revieced from my dad - painted by his mom.
Keeping it in the family - the woodshelf-thingie, the small cheramics and ecpecially one of the books are all things that either I have in my own room or things my parents have.
If you go to The Old City in Aarhus, and go to the buildings from the 60′s and 70′s you will find a collection of Knabstrup ceramics.
My granddad worked at Knabstrup.
The book Flora Danica is an old collection of handpainted pictures of the danish flora.
Of course there also had to be a H.C. Andersen Samlede Værker (”complete works”) - my parent has a very nice version, in old danish if I remember correctly.
I smuggled in a PH-lamp and a Fritz Hansen chair and some really typical lamps (the half-circles). All of these was from around the 50′s.
In the end, I muddled it up a bit to much.
I thought it was a really nice assignment, and I would wish I had had more time to work on it.I would like to stylize the elements a bit more on my next try at something like this.
