DRAWING WEEK 8 - THE EXPANSE - HOLDEN (Patreon)

Hello guys !

Holden and coffee, that's a love story that I can totally relate to. Another personal thing for this saturday drawing : before my twenties, I hated coffee. Like true hate, I hated the taste of it, I didn't understand why people loved it so much. BUT I loved the smell of, just because of a kid memory : when I was a kid, my dad who is drinking coffee after each lunch, was always putting half of a sugar into it and was giving it to me. I loved the taste (much more because of the sugar than the coffee), that moment with my dad, and the smell of the coffee was coming with that.

You know Proust and the expression "the madeleine of Proust" ? It's about smells, tastes, feelings which is giving you emotions just because they are related to a memory. Coffee is a Madeleine of Proust for me. Now, I love coffee but still, each morning, I'm smelling it before drinking it, because of that. A memory, a feeling, a smile.
