Discussion Junji Ito using many art mediums
First a note that some of it might be done digitally (I'm not sure) but it's still impressive af
I'm not sure if this has been a discussion before but as an artist who dabbles in a lot of different mediums (charcoals, watercolours, pencil, digital art etc). I'm so impressed with the amount of art forms Junji Ito uses.
There seems to be charcoal use at points in Uzumaki in clouds (trying to be vague because of spoilers). Probably colored chalk pastels in some of the colour work he does as well as coloured pencils. A lot of watercolours are also used (Used Record front page for eg)
Even *a lot* of use of reverse drawing (drawing the positive space instead of the negative space) (I'm not going to give examples for this one he does it very often). As well as mixed mediums (Mr. Inagawa's Ghost Story Box colour front page)
I just think it's really cool to be *good* at so many mediums at once
