The cyberpunk aesthetic in my way
Brief introduction for those unfamiliar with this genre
Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that features advanced science and technology in an urban, dystopian future. On one side you have powerful mega-corporations and private security forces, and on the other you have the dark and gritty underworld of illegal trade, gangs, drugs, and vice. In between all of this is politics, corruption, and social upheava.
Colour trend
The colours associated with cyberpunk are usually dark with bright colours to give designs a futurist glowing feel. The primary choices are pink and blue with their various combinations.
-Neon colours
-Terminal colours (classic phosphor green/amber on black)
-Golds/yellows/oranges with blues/violets and hints of greens.
-Black and white can also be cyberpunk.
Something to note when going for a colour palette, make sure your colours are complementary with each other.
Fashion for character design
Cyberpunk fashion usually has a patchwork, recycled or DIY feel. With an attitude and a distinct futuristic style, it tends to focus on a wardrobe combination of ‘Low-life and high-tech’.
Cyberpunk fashion could be interpreted as being "futuristic gothic fashion" and involves trenchcoats, boots, shiny black clothing, colored "dreads" that women will often wear, etc
Simple but effective
I have created a very simple concept for you to adapt to the theme in question.
Now, let's start with the character design
Leafing through the various fashion magazines I have at home I noticed how much the cyberpunk style is now contemporary despite being born in the 80s.
So I just tried to join the clothes I liked the most as if it were a collage and this is the result.
Now, leaving aside the various passages that at the moment are useless, I'll show you how in the end I adapted it for an illustration.
Very different right?
Well that's all?
Absolutely not.
For the background there is no need to make things too difficult but know that you can fill the background with geometric patterns
and clipstudiopaint offers infinite solutions
Easy right?
Now I link below the patterns I used for this drawing
Then I advise you to do something that consecrates what cyberpunk is and is the use of glitches. It is the detail that makes the difference.
These are the brushes I downloaded, I hope they will be useful to you
(Optional) If you want to insert a logo to create a poster I recommend that you use geometric and neon fonts

Urban design
As a future-oriented practice, urban design compels us to imagine, anticipate, design and plan our cities of tomorrow in fact cyberpunk extrapolate the present urban condition to expose a cautionary dystopian vision of cities and urban life in the near-future and I want to give you an example
I could have done more by looking at it but in the end there isn't much need to overdo it.
The rules are: degradation, neon and darkness
Virtual kisses
I hope I have been useful to you. A virtual kiss to everyone and thanks for this opportunity!!!
