How so? Interesting comment, I mean think about how many people are on earth

[@waction07]

Forcing an artist like this to work digitally when he wants to work on paper is a crime.

[@milkgxng]

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.

[@waction07]

@@milkgxng 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.

[@eugenevictortooms4174]

I think Viz also control how he illustrates female characters.

[@nahte-]

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

[@Deathshuck]

@@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.

[@VlogDoPajamas]

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 💖

[@simplycrisp4173]

i need that drawing now

[@roserocksrapidly]

of course he says Midsommar is "fun," the absolute madlad

[@vickytsurka8109]

in japanese "fun" and "interesting" are the same word so it could've been a minor translation error

[@xcessiveO_o]

@@vickytsurka8109 indeed, in this case at least, he used the word おもしろい which means interesting

[@milkgxng]

It was very unique that's for sure. Such a bizarre surreal thing. It's realistic too.

[@88feji]

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..

[@Daphii2Notti]

I'm a simple person, I see Junji Ito, I click and I like. He's truly awesome.

[@Fisk4life]

There’s something so haunting about the way he draws eyes

[@BeetaroniPizza]

They look through you

[@ceilingeye]

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!

[@riskoffailure8857]

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

[@Fisk4life]

@@riskoffailure8857 you hit the nail on the head

[@unknownengines]

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!

[@drunkenvampire4179]

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.

[@funnylittlecreature]

I'm sorry, I know this is a genuine comment, but this paired with your profile made me burst out laughing.

[@drunkenvampire4179]

LMAO srsly love Souichi with all my heart, he’s my favorite character of his series

[@nerovarana---]

I want to see him draw a mainstream character with features that can be potentially creepy, like Shigaraki. That'd be cool af.

[@plitzerblitzer5255]

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.

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 🤩

[@hatsukotaro]

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.

[@rigoric]

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 truly hope that more people check out Kazuo Umezu's "The Drifting Classroom" at Ito-san's recommendation, it truly is a fantastic manga! To quote Umezu-san: "As the title suggests, The Drifting Classroom is just that-a place to study. The children apply math, music, P.E., science, and politics outside the confines of school as they experience a new, harsh reality. ...I consider it my finest work. The message is clear and the drama is top-notch. Go and reconnect with your inner child!" And to quote Demerin Kaneko: "It’s only a matter of time before The Drifting Classroom becomes part of the national curriculum."
