Whenever I've had to do an art project on something I usually look at other artwork that have similar feelings or genre!.

Certain colors like black, blues, and other cool colors are usually good!. Drawing something that looks alone, not looking at others, not a part of the crowd!. Almost creating that distance, sorrow, loneliness, emptiness!. Sickness, homeless people, etc!.

I would definitely look at Picasso's blue period to find some examples!. "The Old Guitarist" is one of my favorites!.
