Re: My Metal Gear Solid Artwork

[TheGonzaPoker]

I used to do the same around that age, if i could draw as good as this I would be drawing non stop!, think i might start drawing stuff again, used to be okay but this is amazin stuff dude hope your keepin it up, really cool stuff, the art style of the characters was always hard to grasp for me but you just nailed it. well done man

[RoboZane]

Snake, respond! Whats your situation! Snnnaaaaaakkkkkeeeeee!

[Escalade241]

Wicked man

[TheRetardedMidget]

kewl

[TobyTheUchiha]

Woooow! You're amazing! You are really gifted my friend! =) allmost as good as me. How young are you? and how long have you been drawing?

[SolidSnaaake]

@TobyTheUchiha These were done from the ages of 12/13 up to 18. I don't do them anymore, probably will start again if i get in the mood.

[DjAdrenaline2008]

top marks for the last two, perfection mate

[SolidSnaaake]

@DjAdrenaline2008 Thanks, yeah last 2 are the best.

[Solidmexx]

awesome !!!

[legennd3]

Very good you should sharpen up the blackness of the pencil, so the color is thick/more defined

[SolidSnaaake]

Yeah iknow.. that's partly the reason i started using ink

[abgdez]

very very nice drawings! ;)

like yoji himself! :D

[kurttunaama]

0:42 is really good drawing.

[laliluleilo89]

Mr.Shinkawa is brilliant. I admire him the most out of any other artist out there. Anyways, i've tried to redraw maybe only 2 or 3 pics of his. I think i got influenced by him but i do really not feel like copying.

From your pictures, the 3rd one is the best.

[VOXvampire]

i think its weird, u can draw FROM the picks and i can draw WITHOUT picks, what i mean is i cant draw from the picks, but whn i do it without it looks even better , u can draw from the picks, and i bet u alredy know how to draw him too without picks now, so 1 word,

u rock :D

i draw more anime stuff, never been good on things that look like a real human XD

cheers for u :D

and sorry if this was a pretty long line XD

[SolidSnaaake]

Thanks, to be honest i haven't really drew anything since this video, i guess i should do.

[TheWeekendFish]

your much better then me but i put my vid in responses check it out.

[MrMontana9999]

i really like the third and the fourth

[semen690]

sorry if i upset you or anyone else but these are average and i dont belive you drew all of these..... the last 2 compared to the first 2 are two different skill levels

[SolidSnaaake]

because the first few i did years before the last one mate :D

[semen690]

okay well if dats true.... good job man very good drawings

[SolidSnaaake]

I did the first couple during secondary school and i did the last one for college artwork

[xeaex99]

its so stupid that people dont think that people get better good job

ART IS LIFE

[darkfheenix]

[joealtair3000]

[iPJere]

Awresome, I wish I could draw really good, not as a career, but to decieve people to thinking I'm a complicated boy xD

[motataki]

i like the third one :P

[Ugleskjegg]

Perty Guud

[blackZ34all]

[SolidSnaaake]

[flowersonhorseback]

[SolidSnaaake]

I know.. i must start drawing again :D

[flowersonhorseback]

[kungfoolai]

[SolidSnaaake]

Thanks :D

[paate1]

yeah when i drawed from picture last year i thougth omg im good and then i tried to draw without a picture and then i just saw how bad i really were lol :P but now i am pretty good at it :D

[paate1]

ok i am good at drawing from a picture its quite hard without a picture :P but i am training a bit every day! and you shud too!

[SolidSnaaake]

lol i've tried the same style without a picture but i was just messing about. i don't really draw that much anymore.

[paate1]

btw do u draw these from ur own mind or from a picture?

[SolidSnaaake]

They are all from Shinkawa's drawings. So yesh there from pictures

[paate1]

the third, fourth, and the official image are the best! ur very good at drawing u shud draw more in future! 5/5

[SolidSnaaake]

i probably will do more, thx for comment

[jmm1233]

three words :

You Have Talent

[SolidSnaaake]

Cheers :D

[Patatoes3]

very nice you need do 1 or two things though 1. make the pictrues show upp better i couldnt even see some of them 2. use color in more of them 3. use more guns it rocks though

[RollingCrash101]

armando if u think that ur better thatn this guy i wud say go to look mirror what u see there? very good i like can u draw all characthers in mgs? and how long u have drawed beacause those are like almost copies of real mgs art work :DD

[SolidSnaaake]

Thanks :)this is the nicest comment i've had in a long time because everyone has been bitching about them (The drawings). Sometimes they take me a long time to do, like when i first try a new drawing or picture i haven't done before it would take me about 10 hours+ maybe, but i may start one then come back to it either weeks or even months later XD, btw i have only attempted to draw raiden once and i started badly and i couldn't be bothered after that lol. i draw snake because he looks the best.

[vancougars]

Did you post the one at 0:59 on gamespot?

[SolidSnaaake]

Post a comment on gamespot or post pictures?

[vancougars]

The pictures.

[SolidSnaaake]

yeah

[vancougars]

Cool because i saw it there, lol ur name is La Li Lu Li Lo.

[SolidSnaaake]

yeah i posted all of them but one, i think? My gamespot name... yeah i meant to put La Le Lu Li Lo

[armando501st]

you need more practice bro I've been drawing sinceI was 3 and your drawing reminds me when I was 8 or 10 years old I like pen but I can do with pencil or brush whatever is fine for me if I show my art people will say are copies from yoji shinkawa.

[SolidSnaaake]

ok sorry i don't draw that much lol as you can see not many pics and i look back at them now and i'm still not happy with them and about the traced thing in the info bit, i only put that because so noobs didn't claim they were traced.

[ushdr]

someone's a little egotistical...aren't we?

Solid Snaake dont listen to him your drawings are wicked awesome dude

[SolidSnaaake]

XD Thanks

[KyubiDemon4]

HarveyArtifex owns you :p

the last drawings are kinda good

[SolidSnaaake]

he has his own style and has taken his pic from an actual MGS4 screenshot i tried it in shinkawa's drawing style(btw without the right equipment) so i know they don't look as good, i didn't have inks or a brush pen

[drak975]

ignore my last comment...i see that you've answered it in a previous comment i made....sorry

[drak975]

whats the exact song title? is this from metal gear solid 1 , 2, 3, or 4?

[Engelvonreue]

Encounter from MGS1

[D4YV]

Nice!

[Ryan123497]

EPIC FAIL!

[SolidSnaaake]

Please Ryan show me how it's done. Remember Shinkawa style!

[Ryan123497]

You want me to show you how its done the way Yoji Shinkawa does it? All right, I'll inform you when It's posted on my deviant art page. I'll do it with ink. Using a brush pen really helps capture his style, and gibe you a smoother more organic flow.

[SolidSnaaake]

i know what he uses but i didn't have a brush pen or ink at the time of doing them.

[Ryan123497]

their not expensive, pick one up, but also make your own style

[SolidSnaaake]

A was gonna get one but then i did'nt XD, I know some of them aren't that good i admit, i'm not happy with all of them but a few of them i did years ago when i first started to try and draw them, when i was like 13 or 14.

[SolidSnaaake]

oh and btw look at the original video, this is a reply just type in the title without (Re:) then tell me what you think of them.

[MythicalKye]

i agree with ryan 123497 lol u get pissed off so easily

[SolidSnaaake]

u go on his chanel and there is one drawing then tell me what u think.

[WorldOfSnakes]

perfect

[rockyman88]

ur drawing are sick....

[cutepuppyishere]

dude that's pretty good

[digisansa]

damn pretty close. hey i made my own fan art out masking tape and the characters are Raiden MGS4 style and Laughing Octopus. they will be finished soon and put into another one of my videos called Masking tape Art 3.

[Ryan123497]

go on my channel, youu will see my deviant art page

[Ryan123497]

they aren't good enough to be traced

[SolidSnaaake]

let's see you're drawings then.

[drak975]

what is the soundtrack title?

[SolidSnaaake]

metal gear solid original soundtrack

[gamer808friend]

nice try to draw the mk.2 if you want to

[cmpelling]

make up your own characters nd put em up

[hasunkhan]

i think this guy up hereee is right actually. It would be cool cin it ill make a character if u do.

[jcolpitts91]

thats really well done and a few looks like yoji shinkawa drawings but i like how you put your own twist on the 1st picture well done

[zigbar205]

You did very well i like alot of the drawing and am a big fan of MGS and its Artstyle in the concept drawings and graphic novels. you got skillz of that third pic

[joseaca]

great shading just like he does

the 2nd drawin doesnt looks that good, it looks like you didnt used any technique at least on that one

witch mgs games do you have?

[SolidSnaaake]

I know that one is shit it was one of my first ones. I have all of them apart from acid games, and soon MGS4.

[joseaca]

soon... you mean now?

dont tell me nothing about mgs4 dont spoil the fun lalalala in not hearin

damn i want a ps3

[Mushrooman]

0:44 IS REALLY GOOD! If you get good enough could u make a tutorial 4 that one? I wish I could draw that

[SolidSnaaake]

I would but they take sometimes weeks for me to do because i'll take a break from them and start again and continue it whenever I feel like it but if I did one and I worked on it solid it would take me about 2-3 days and possibly up to a week this is due to the amount of detail and concerntration I put in to them to try to replicate his drawings precisely. Thanks for the comment though ;)

[Mushrooman]

o well, Sick pics still though, u make me wanna try and draw myself.

[SolidSnaaake]

Thanks!

[durex91]

what's the name of the song ?

[SolidSnaaake]

Encounter-it's off the MGS Original Soundtrack

[holyboy1]

The last one is the one for me - Gr8 job!

[J23B]

man those last 2 drawing were amazing cant wait till mgs4

[OmegaOwA]

Amazing! How do you imitate his style? Its so hard to sketch like Shinkawa. Great job =)

[SolidSnaaake]

It's a matter of patience;)

[sofakingkool1]

dude that is so cool and unique

[lugiaflyhight]

ok yee first one isn't too bad just darken yee main lines a bit.

yee second one badly out of perportion, e.g. eye to small and face out of sink with the expression

yee 3rd one is as good as yee first one just experiment with the lip size.

yee 4th one be it the coloured one is very well done again experiment with the lip shading.

all in all there very good and keep practicing, put it tis way you can draw people better then thy.

LUGIA FLYHIGHT

[hifgyu]

that colored one you did..i was all like ! O_O

[Nima1991]

the one at 40 seconds in is frikkin' awesome..

[SolidSnaaake]

Thanks

[SolidSnaaake]

Thanks dude! Best reply yet!

[pantera98]

This is Sick!!!!

Dan

[lankyCrap]

this was the best drawings ever, i could never draw somthing so good, show me some more drawings keep it up

[SolidSnaaake]

I watched your video with Solidus which was cool! I bet it took a lot of practice. I managed to complete MGS3 on European Extreme.

[SniperNightOwl]

sweet. Snake isn't easy to draw. I only drew him once and it was so-so.. but I'm good at drawing Liquid, he's easy.

[SolidSnaaake]

Cheers man! It takes me about a week to do them though sometimes maybe more or I will start one and then go back to it after a few months.

[shwilly]

Whoaa, you're good!

I'm trying to reproduce his drawings as well but I'm not quite as far as you are.

Keep it up.
