Learning to draw with shadows like Yoji Shinkawa

Hi everyone, long time no see!
Hope you're all doing well, in this video we look at the style of famous Metal Gear artist Yoji Shinkawa, and give you an introductory session on how to apply shadows and lighting in a similar way...because let's face it we all wanna draw cool stuff! This style definitely has substance.
So if you wanna learn a new style or you just want to become better at this style or lighting/designing, this is the video for you.
Enjoy, I'll be back with more tips soon!

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 🙏
