One of my favorite bands from the 90's is Gorillaz, a virtual brand with animated members (2D, Noodle, Russel Hobbs and Murdoc Niccals. Drawing this gave me a lot of nostalgia and remembering the fun times
Gorillaz Graffiti Art
Fun fact: the frontman of Blur is also the singing voice and vocalist for gorillaz which is 2-D. while the one on this illustration is inspired by noodle who is a japanese musician who is also the lead guitarist for the band.
Process
So to create this grafiti, i used my iPad's procreate app. you can see the art progression below where variety of tools were used such as paint, pencil, marker, brush and airbrush. throughout ill be also giving some fun facts and trivias about this band
Fictional Origin of Noodle
Noodle was born in Osaka Japan in 1990 and acted as replacement guitarist for the band which was advertised on a newspaper. Her first word popping out was Noodle which eventually became her nickname
Clint Eastwood
One of my favorite songs from this band is clint eastwood. which is titled after the actor of the same name. It has their signature mix of electronic and hip-hop beat and has been on top of the billboards worldwide when it launched.
Role of Noodles
Aside from being the lead guitarist of the band, Noodle is also talented in other instruments where on occassion she would be playing the keyboard, acts as back-up vocals and even has a few lines of her own in other songs
Graffiti Style
i wanted to illustrate the personality of the character and band in a way that is reflective of their music. Young , fun, colorful and busy. Hope i was able to give it some justice.

A spectacular tribute. Gorillaz was the band that marked our generation. Your drawing of Noodle; as a kid, he tends to combine his Asian art with actual graffiti, you've done a good job with the colors. regards! @beerbod
