Want to learn to draw a cyberpunk illustration for sci-fi concept art on your iPad? My approach to creating an image isn’t always the same, but in this instance I started off with the profile of a character, who I knew needed a dynamic pose and a vehicle involved. I’ve always loved mechanical and vehicle design, and I wanted this bike to feel like a mixture of the 70 and 80s look coupled with a bit of the classic 90s sticker aesthetics.
Meanwhile, the background mech was an unusual decision for me, but I feel as though it gives a nice sense of scale compared to the main characters. I was inspired by the animes of the late 80s and 90s. I think that’s something that informs all of my work, so I wanted to create a piece that was both dynamic and detailed and had a cyberpunk meets space-Western feeling to it.
