Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of my new miniseries: Music Muses, where I draw character design from music genres
We did pop, rock... And today we're gonna draw
Hip Hop! (beatboxing)
I feel like hip hop and rap is all about that swagger, that style, you know, that flow
So I'm trying to get into the energy. I got my fake gold necklace right here with an R on it
I got my Pikachu shirt, because Pikachu is super gangster. We're gonna make a super dope character. So let's do it! Music muses:
Hip Hop! / Rap
To start our character, we've created: A moodboard!
In this series. I've been starting off with a moodboard to try to capture that character
This is the mood that I'm going for, this kind of streetwear, urban, you know, Little Tokyo, some neon lights
I think maybe a cool tattoo. I feel like from these images, she looks like a
Tokyo-streetwear-mafia leader, who grew up in the streets, has a story to tell and is about to kick some butt!
Let's just start sketching and see what we can come up with!
Yeah, I'm thinking that she could have short hair, maybe she's wearing a super cool hoodie robe. I'm going to try to color it in real quick
I feel like she spent five paychecks on this hoodie robe. I feel like she needs a
Gold chain, you know
She looks like she could be on the cover of Complex magazines. I really like how it's looking so far
I'm gonna keep work on it, and I'll check back soon (clicking)
Hey guys, welcome back and here's the progress of our muse so far with the background and the shading
I'm trying to give her a more mysterious look. And my moodboard is coming super handy
You can see some of the similiarities that I've had. So one thing from the moodboard that I really loved was
this snake tattoo! This would be so cool to add to the design. And so, let's give her a snake tattoo!
Usually when people get tattoos, it means something to them, so maybe her name is like
Mamba!
What if her boots have like, awesome laces on them
I hope you guys are thinking of the perfect name for her!. I would love your suggestions. So I'm gonna work on it, and I'll check back soon! (clicking)
Yeah, I feel like she's really coming together! I love that she's different from the other music muses
She gonna has like a mysterious swagger. I added some hoodie strings, trying to make this hoodie robe look really cool
I'm also feeling like popping like a bubblegum
You know what? We need to pimp her out! Now, let's add money signs
Growing up, I've always had different phases of music and there is definitely like a hip-hop rap phase
I listened to like Chingy, Lil Wayne, 50 cent,  Eminem
Also hidden somewhere on YouTube is the video of me in ninth grade dancing at the mall
I probably have some of those dancing skills left. I'll probably show you one day, but I'm just gonna wrap this up - and I'll check back soon! (clicking)
Yo Hip-hop muse! It's COLOR DODGE TIME!
Anaconda!
Flashing Lights!
Lose Control!
Drop it like its hot!
Now we have three music muses: pop, rock and hip-hop!
