Description
This picture is RANDOM.I was bored, and tried at first to do something to copy and draw it in shinkawa style. But, I screwed up the second try and that's why I got frustrated... So, then I just sat in front of my desk, took my brush and my varnish and just started to draw - without drawing with pencil at first.
And this is what cames out.
REALLY! I made this without using a pencil... o_______O I think I should try this technique more often, because it looks quite like Shinkawa!!!!
To all "newcomers":
Would you like to check out other ink and/or MGS stuff?

I was 13 when I did my first Shinkawa-stylish pictures, and they look like CRAP. ^^ I think you can practise the style if you try watercolors... that's what i did ^^
I use varnish!!
thank you

varnish?? i'll have to use my dictionary because dunno what's that 
I thought was that.... Varnish in spanish is "Barniz" i see... dunno how do you use that because the varnish here is to paint wood
i like your style!!

Nice sketch but two things, one the jaw is pushed in far too much, and two... WHERE IS HIS SWEET AS MULLET lmao.
Good sketch tho, but work on the proportion of the character. You got the idea of his style, but I still see where you can do some more work. Edinjo has basically gotten the style up and down lol. Here is his gallery... [link]
Anyways keep up the good work.
Btw... I skimmed through your gallery, you still need to work on that proportion problem. Here's quick advice for ya... first look at some CG images of MGS characters and draw the outline of them as if they were 2D. Then after that look up some of Yoji's artwork for reference. Try to focus on how he works with shadows in his artwork. Then apply what you've learned from his artwork into the 2D drawings you've done.

you're right with that thing with the jaw... but what's wrong with his mullet?!
but what do you mean with the proportion of the character? o___O
btw, didn't you read that this is drawn without reference, I didn't even do a pre-draw -____-
hm. I prefer to keep my art traditional. I don't want do digital art for some reason... But he's got a nice gallery.

The Mullet has to be THERE lmao... MAKE IT BIGGER.
But yeah when I say proportion, I mean the human body in general. Like I said the jaw, which we already established... but yeah sometimes in some of the drawings you have, the way it looked didn't seem like that portion of the body was right... you know what I mean.
But yeah I kno you said you didn't use any reference. I didn't say you drew with a reference, I just saying to get the idea of that style is try drawing the way does it, like draw a traditional picture of Solid Snake off the web, but only use contour lines, then try to apply Yoji's style from there. Also when I meant reference I didn't mean by copying his work, I just meant draw the body the way it is, that helps you determine the proportion of a body in different poses... as if it was Life drawing.
I don't know, I mean I don't mind doing a drawing directly using a tablet, if I have to but, always I draw by hand, I'd probably do colouring in photoshop and that's it... that's probably why my stuff would be considered digital is because of the colouring.

hm... I know I still have to learn some things of the human body, but I think I'm not bad at drawing it... I mean, there is many fan art that looks not like it has to be (much worse than mine 
Hm... I don't know If I want this, maybe I should improve my traditional art before going digital.... I mean, you made me pretty eager since you have criticised me
coloring? I prefer use acrylics, and then (maybe) improve it digital ^^ I've got no time to do digital art... It's easier to sit in front of your desk
thanks for your comments ^^
