what about it do you want to imitate? it looks like stylized shadow shapes, with some midtones here and there from (intentionally) messy hatching. look up chiaroscuro, notan and posterization to find some stuff you might find interesting.

if you practice traditional figure drawing, learning how to divide the light and dark sides by drawing the shadow shapes by drawing the terminator is something you will learn early on but instantly improves your work if you didn't know about it already. you can achieve effects like that with photoshop posterization in black and white, and by using filters (picrel, 4ish values), which seperate the image into value zones for you. don't use it as a crutch but it can be a useful tool for training.
