music and me

So for me, music is one of the essential tool when creating illustration. I draw the best lines if the music matches the illustration. Sketches become a little crazier when music matches my mood. When I'm illustrating, sometimes I have to stop my work and dance in my room (when I don't have a tight deadline haha) I listen to pretty much anything but when I'm illustrating, I can't listen to anything but techno-ey sounds. I think the repetitive notes/beats and bass sound really help me concentrate. Also helps me to draw looser. So here are the list or artists I admire (in no particular order)

Nujabes


Daft Punk


Pogo


Perfume


Kaskade


Flying Lotus


Prefuse 73

Massive Attack


Röyksopp



Towa Tei



Deadmau5


Gorillaz


And these are some sketches (heavily) influenced by music.
