Inktober 2024: Embrace Contrarian Thinking in Your Art

Here’s another tip to help you with your #Inktober challenge:

Try exploring contrarian thinking. 

What does it involve? If an object is usually depicted from the same perspective, how would you communicate the complete opposite?

Take this example: passports are government-issued documents that certify a person’s identity and allow them to travel to other countries. 

But what if you communicated the opposite? 

Could a passport symbolize a denial of rights or freedoms for someone?

As you see, you can express the negative side of positive things or the positive side of negative ones. 

Everything can be reversed. And with the results you get, you can always tell a story.

Give these tips a try for your next #Inktober2024 drawing!
