that man is an ink god.

How does he have such an abstract understanding of light and form that he can use a brush to make such a detailed face/person? It starts out looking like random lines and strokes but at the end the form is unmistakable. How to develop this skill? What do you have to study to be able to do this?
Also, I've been wanting to start using brush pens just to see what I can make, but I heard that using them can lead to bad habits forming. How true is this?

I wouldn't say "proficiency with a medium" is a bad habit. If there are quirks of that medium that you're utilizing that aren't accessible in other mediums you're just utilizing the advantages of your chosen medium. Trying to be a jack of all trades just means you're going to be mediocre at everything rather than good with mediums you like.

If you are just developing a proficiency in the medium and are effectively utilizing the quirks of it, then that's different (and a good thing). The bad habits I'm talking about would be like abusing texture brushes in a digital painting to hide the fact you can't actually paint foliage properly or something. Or doing a bunch of painterly brushstrokes in oils and rubbing out a lot of edges to make it more artsy and interesting, but the strokes and lost edges do not reinforce the drawing it just is a surface thing on top that is deceiving the viewer from the actual ability of the artist.
I believe people like those pick up their styles just by fucking around on the paper until their brains tell them that it looks good.
Should never judge for ""bad"" sketches that don't look "real"
I have a lot but paul richards is not very know around here.

I don't think that's how Shinkawa works, if you did that with a brush pen you would likely just end up with a black page
here he is drawing https://youtu.be/9gJQyVfKZJg
you can see that he knows exactly what he is doing
as for how he does it, I would say that he is really good at visualizing what he is going to draw, understanding the planes of what he is drawing and then drawing in the core shadows
https://youtu.be/JUM3SHNCfpM this is sort of what he does except shinkawa doesn't have ctrl+z
