Yes it's Google algorithm working it's wonder. It tracks down your search and then KZbin shows similar videos.

Yoji Shinkawa is one of the best...thamks for showing

[@IamStefanFinley]

This great, I've been trying to study his style and for some reason I didn't even think about the shadow shapes practice 😅

[@andrewrussell8387]

Glad I could help! I will be making more videos on this soon

[@IamStefanFinley]

@andrewrussell8387 yes I look forward to it!

I just found your channel from this video. Looking over your previous teaching videos now. I hope, if you are able to, continue to make videos. These lessons are very well done. You explain things perfectly. ❤❤

Beautiful drawings, I wanted to know which brush you use, I really liked the way it looks.

This technique is triggering what Gestalt Theory has explained about human perception of reality. How we sense the world and our brain gathers the pieces around while looking at something. You can check that out but check the physical theory one not the sociology interpretation of it. The original concrete theory about the visuals we perceive.

[@luxuriousmindset1906]

I dont think You'll be able to capture his work because he's traditional and the nature of the medium he use is chaotic and inconsistent the result he gets is unique to him and your using digital

[@andrewrussell8387]

@@luxuriousmindset1906 That's true, digital can never be a replacement for traditional media and there will never be another artist like Shinkawa, however we can still study and practice his techniques, there is a huge amount we can learn from him 🙏

[@luxuriousmindset1906]

​@andrewrussell8387 no you can't study his technique because it's freehand ink drawing that's like trying to copy someone's DNA yall overvalue this copying stuff when he didn't even do that it's why westerners will never be as creative as the east too much reliance on just trying to copy some one else
