How My Theme is Working (wink wink)

Since my theme is focused on things that are UNNOTICABLE, I try to use black background, vibrant color contrast and patterns to bring out the NOTICABLE differences. I enjoy the process and have never ran out of ideas. Little things such as the patterns on people’s outfits inspire me on a daily basis, so it has not been a struggle to be inspired since I am always surrounded by fashionable people. My theme is neither too deep nor too shallow; it is simply an idea that interests me and keeps me motivated.
Recently I have noticed on my own that many of my ideas come from how I look at things. I tend to look at one thing/problem from different perspectives, which directly resulted in my endless ideas when it comes to combining different colors and shapes. Being able to look at one theme from different angles (literally) really inspires me. For example, my first piece is a piece of an entire body, the second piece which I am currently working on is a close up, and the third one which I am planning on doing will be one body part(most likely a wrist).
I never really thought about revising my theme, because I am pretty satisfied with the theme I am working on. However, I would like to emphasize the theme a little bit more on how accessories can show one’s personality (so really, more on the INDIVIDUAL than of the accessories). I think delivering personalities to the audience is more interesting and challenging than simply displaying a collection of accessories.

After I finish my second drawing, I’d like to stick with black mat because I have sort of created my own style using black mat, jelly pens, and gouache. I am going to draw a variety of different vibes that different personalities show wearing accessories that usually go unnoticed (such as a thumb ring, a flash tattoo, or a belly button ring).
