He is one of the only mangakas i've seen who keeps in contact with his audience like that, it's great that we can understand how he works and how he comes up with new ideas it's very inspirational, love you Ito sensei thanks a lot 💖
What can you do. When he's done drawing digitally it's ready to print in 2 seconds. When he's done drawing traditionally he needs to scan it, etc etc etc. I love traditional as well but it's just 1 more step to an already long process these days. (Obviously there's a lot of cases where its used and still used and still predominant but in manga business no way jose. Not if you're serialized. (unless you're ahead of schedule) but since Ito is a perfectionist, he could spend hours on one page if he didn't get himself to move on.
@@charmolettafranquestafiestayam I understand it's necessary and I understand why he has to switch over to a digital format to keep up. I just hope that his level of detail doesn't eventually start to suffer as his deadlines become shorter.
So great that my favourite horror comic artist actually loves my favourite horror director's movie .. but than again there's no way he would not appreciate Ari Aster's greatness .. their sense of horror are in the same ball park, very atmospheric stuffs..
i’m pretty sure he does sketch first in most cases, but for this video, he just wanted to do a quick little drawing, so he didn’t need to do a sketch first
@@nahte- He has done these characters for so long, you no longer need to sketch it. Drawing a character like that effortlessly with no sketch represents thousands of hours of illustration experience.
the scariest thing in this video is the confidence with which he puts ink to paper without any visible sketch or thumbnail. horrifically intimidating levels of skill!
They’re very simplistic compared to the rest of his art. There is a rule in cartooning that the more simplified a character is in design, the more they audience will project themselves onto that character. This is why many sunday paper comic strips have such simplistic characters! Ito’s use of simplistic design amongst heavy detail naturally draws the eye and creates an effect that haunts the viewer!
i think it’s the detailed eyes against a really minimalistic face, i’ve been trying to implement that part of his style into my art style, it’s fun, gives a really cool effect
He’s so well-mannered and talented at his work. Very happy to see that Junji ito shows us how he draws his characters and what inspires him to draw them. Truly a talented man.
@@vizmedia About 20 minutes maybe. In my opinion it always seems like there are a lot of things the editors cut out that fans might find interesting. I've read the subs and feel like sometimes there is missing context.
@@vizmedia "would be interesting to see him draw a mainstream character but with creepy features or just made them scary" like @Awesome Bread said a few comments above.
I am an artist and im blowned AWAY because he didnt use a pencil to make the draw first, wow! He is so talented and sweet!!! Please more vídeos of Junji Ito, it is so relaxing to see him on screen.
You don't need to sketch if you've mastered composition and if you've already envisioned what you want to draw beforehand. this is a fairly simple drawing. as for doing a manga, that's a whole other process - from what I know there's the story board and a few other details which typically requires a sketch first. This man is a master.
hearing him mention Umezu Kazuo drove me nuts, I loved Kazuo's Fourteen and Drifting Classroom as the former gave a really dark and dystopian future while the latter is just purely crazy horror fiction.
I love his work so much! So dark, disturbing yet beautiful to see/read. My favorite stories of him would be Hellstar Remina is the most disturbing to me alongside The Bully even if it's very short. Army of One, Hanging Balloons and Window Next Door. As for favorite character it would be the protagonist of Uzumaki and Souichi.
I honestly think that if I were to bump into this legend and ask him to draw me something, it would suffice if he were just draw a single line on a piece of paper and I would put it on my wall.

He is the purest man on this earth
Forreal
Of course not.
@@liragilberd1898 Why u said that?
Bob Ross of horror manga
How so? Interesting comment, I mean think about how many people are on earth

i need that drawing now
Forcing an artist like this to work digitally when he wants to work on paper is a crime.

I think Viz also control how he illustrates female characters.
@@charmolettafranquestafiestayam the artist needs to be in control of that, not the publishers. thats awful.
Agrrrd
of course he says Midsommar is "fun," the absolute madlad
in japanese "fun" and "interesting" are the same word so it could've been a minor translation error
@@vickytsurka8109 indeed, in this case at least, he used the word おもしろい which means interesting
It was very unique that's for sure. Such a bizarre surreal thing. It's realistic too.

He doesn't sketch first?! The madman!
ikr!
@@j.castelo What are these two pens he's using? It looks like his early work in the 1980's!

There’s something so haunting about the way he draws eyes
They look through you

I'm sorry, I know this is a genuine comment, but this paired with your profile made me burst out laughing.
LMAO srsly love Souichi with all my heart, he’s my favorite character of his series
Junji Ito’s drawing asmr
5:45 Just putting this for the beginner unsecure artists to show them how even the best artists out there can also make silly mistakes
Latter he used the mistake to add in the artwork 9:43, this is a artist mindset
Junji ito, my favorite Manga artist
I want to see him draw a mainstream character with features that can be potentially creepy, like Shigaraki. That'd be cool af.
Or characters from Promised Neverland! That manga has plenty of horror elements to it
@@mileslillard8826 made in abyss:
can you guys do longer videos of him i hope im not asking too much thank you
how long are you thinking?
@@vizmedia About 20 minutes maybe. In my opinion it always seems like there are a lot of things the editors cut out that fans might find interesting. I've read the subs and feel like sometimes there is missing context.

I find it absolutely adorable how he drew a cat shaped hole too, since he's a big cat lover. 🐱😻
And how will the cat end up in the end of the hole??..............imagine if the cat goes in it................
It gon’ look like a really cursed Bakeneko.@@aarna9864
Who knew the purest man in the world had such a strange and revolutionary take on horror
The way this man draws a face that would take me all day in one minute.
I am an artist and im blowned AWAY because he didnt use a pencil to make the draw first, wow! He is so talented and sweet!!! Please more vídeos of Junji Ito, it is so relaxing to see him on screen.
I like the part where he fumbles holding his pen. So precious. Must protect.
He doesn't sketch first. That's the biggest flex on the artist world. I wish I could :(((

PROTECT JUNJI ITO AT ALL COST
What's your favorite Junji Ito work?
"The Enigma of Amigara Fault" 👍
Glyceride? He’s just really great making a horror out of oil....I’m wondering, what’s his inspirations?
Hellstar Remina!
The human chair❤️
Souchi’s Diary!
1 dislike was probably from the guy who wished this was longer
Looking at you, kukieOboe
The enigma of amigara fault is one of my favorite Junji Ito stories. It's really to know that it's one of his favorite as well 🤩
I wasn't a fan of horror until I read a volume of Uzumaki. Then I got hooked, and now Ito's one of my favorite manga artists of all time.
5:45 when people are watching you drawing stuff
he can draw perfectly so effortlessly its amazing.
His glasses is the coolest thing i’ve ever seen owned
So interesting to hear his inspirations! Was not expecting Degas and Vermeer, but I can see their influences on him now
Junji Ito is a truly talented mangaka, and a down-to-earth guy despite his nightmarish stuff.
hearing him mention Umezu Kazuo drove me nuts, I loved Kazuo's Fourteen and Drifting Classroom as the former gave a really dark and dystopian future while the latter is just purely crazy horror fiction.
i could watch him draw for literally hours and never get bored
I love his work so much! So dark, disturbing yet beautiful to see/read. My favorite stories of him would be Hellstar Remina is the most disturbing to me alongside The Bully even if it's very short. Army of One, Hanging Balloons and Window Next Door. As for favorite character it would be the protagonist of Uzumaki and Souichi.
"I drew him a little too cute"
The modern people of the world say *no*
My brother and I idolize this man so much, he is a genious with no boundaries.
i admire this man soo much, i cant even draw and i LOVE his artwork, he is just such a treasure
I love the fact that Junji Ito welcome exposures on social media ❤️ such a precious man
He is the most humble man on this earth
That title is all I needed to click fast! 👌
The real monster is Junji Ito for going straight in with a marker without a pencil sketch...
i adore this man so much
His art style is just my favorite. I NEED to learn it lol.
He is like the Bob Ross of horror
That’s awesome Mr. Junji Ito is one of my favourite manga story teller. Like to see a HellBoy story by Junji Ito
Agh I love him so muchhh
i would do anything for him
I can't get enough of this man
Heck yes! My favourite horror author
he's amazing, such a sweetheart
So hard to read the subtitles and watch him draw at the same time!!
Ugh… Americans
I know you guys can’t use that much of your brain but try to learn more at school
i love the cat, that was a nice touch
Junji ito my favorite manga artist!!!
As a huge fan of Junji Ito I'm still upset he never got to work on Silent Hills.
the way that he threw in a hole for a cat in there hahaha
he's like the purest person on earth. must protect.
I would LOVE a manga series of "When the day breaks" written by him.
the way he draws people is so cute
A great storyteller and artist.
so pure- he is amazing
The best art work ever I love it 😍😍😍
Absolutely loved this his comments are so insightfull
another drawing " Beyond human comprehension"
That's pretty epic
I love the art style so amazing and he was the inspiration of my artwork
I honestly think that if I were to bump into this legend and ask him to draw me something, it would suffice if he were just draw a single line on a piece of paper and I would put it on my wall.
my favourite one shot AND one of my favourite mangakas.
and the story that scared me so bad i longer read anything he makes😨😱
I love this man
I would never expect one of the most kindest men in the world to have this kind of career😂
I thought he always just wears the same shirt but now I realised that they're just spacing the release of these videos.
Sir I am still waiting for your release of Uzumaki Anime, I love your work a lot.
He can draw with no guidelines cool
If i coyld ask junji itou a question... It would be " do you like to watch people getting scared?? ".... Because i do... :)
Wah he watched midsommar 😱
I really hope Ari aster knows that one of HIS movies stuck with Junji Ito.
I thought the pure guy only there for marketing purpose, but it was not
yalls, whats ur favourite junji ito story? I like army of one!!
I keep hearing kowai(scary) as kawaii(cute)
im surprised he didnt even made a single mistake, theres not even a sketch
He watched midsommar and he thing it was amusing. Interesting...
Awww he drew cat shaped hole too 😆
the master
He watched midsomar and literally say : "it's was fun" Meanwhile me, 2 day straight can't sleep 😭🤣
Surely Hereditary was another fun time to him 😂
Sensei
thanks for the nightmare
He doesn't even sketch, what a Chad
Sketching? Who needs that when you can just get it right first time?
more of this x 1,000,000
Anyone know what types of pens he uses for his drawings? Would like to start practicing!
I can’t see the brand very well, but I’m sure those are fineliners of different sizes, the most popular one are Sakura Pigma Micrón, Copic and Le Pen,
@@evantaylor4796 thank you very much
暗黒騎士の恐怖のライフスタイルに影響を与えました。
is it weird that i want to know what pen he's using ?
I wanna know about his writing process
Very awesome 😁👍😁
interesting insight!
I'm thinking on starting a Junji Ito religion. The man is not of this earth.
Sensei draw graceful yet the story was a load of anxiety
Haha, welcome to celebrate midsommar here in sweden next year :D
