What you are currently doing should pose no problem, but if you want to manually create the processes and then join them later on:

import subprocess
import multiprocessing as mp


# Creating our target function here
def do_work(args):
    # dummy function
    p = subprocess.check_output(["ping", "-c", "4", ip])
    print(p)

# Your ip list
ip_list = ['8.8.8.8', '8.8.4.4']

procs = []  # Will contain references to our processes
for ip in ip_list:
    # Creating a new process
    p = mp.Process(target=do_work, args=(ip,))

    # Appending to procs
    procs.append(p)

    # starting process
    p.start()

# Waiting for other processes to join
for p in procs:
    p.join()
