I think that if the jacket was darker on the first one it would help the drawing pop. And it being a worm not a snake would ick me more
Nah, nah, not worms, bro.
I literally felt lightheaded through my biology course when we had to do human parasitology. 😢 had my skin crawling the whole time.
@@canvasdrop_art That's the point of horror
I think if it were a centipede
@@user-jh1hh5jn3u centipede's have been used so frequently maybe some other type of insect
@@Non.like.prince Maybe ants and cockroaches?
I think something crucial for horror that you're missing is the concept of specificity, primarily narrative specificity. A particularly horrifying manga panel will materialize the plot points or fears that have been building up all chapter or even across many chapters. And these fears are not just generic, they are extremely specific. We've all seen so many creepy body distortions or murder dolls or whatnot that most horror elements on their own as a single image lose their edge unless they are backed by a strong narrative. Both of your drawings in this video seem to be too focused on just showing something creepy for the sake of creepiness, but neither composition gives clues to a full story about why this creepy manifestation has emerged or what it is doing. That said, I really did like this video and how you were so vulnerable with us about where you are in your learning stages with horror.
But uh yeah, specificity. A weirdass looking doll holding a knife? Not very specific, we've seen it so much that it ties to narratives from outside one's work unless we as viewers have new narrative details to anchor it back to to the story and to create a new sense of unease. A weirdass looking doll wearing a mcdonalds crewshirt and hat and stuffed in it's mouth are copies of every single fricking receipt from every single frickin time you ordered something from mcdonalds, and the receipts are just oozing and spilling out like guts with somewhat legible text, and on some of them the employee even tried to write creepy love notes? That is so much more specific and taps into the soul of horror so much more (especially if we as readers have seen you or the character casually make multiple mcdonalds orders before in the story).
Just a random comment from someone who will hopefully be competing with you on Manga Plus Creators later this year :)
I liked the snake drawing I would have never thought of making the snake deform the skin but it makes sense that it does. The second one is good too the fluffy body can make it look harmless so the creepy face can impact with a jumpscare kinda reveal
You have to do a study on Blue lock's artist, Yusuke Nomura.
As someone who is studying the art of horror as well a great tip I can give is, use grose texture, this can be wet, sticky, wrinkly and more. A grose and convincing texture is something the viewer can almost feel, so that can really help with giving your drawings an uncomfortable feel. (The more in-depth the groser it can feel, like in the snake drawing if you draw the veins and really show the skin being stretched it can feel all the more real and disturbing)
I think the context of the stories adds to Junji Itos work. Confusion and something being unknown makes it far creepier than just the image. Also expression. It’s not good enough to just be horrified, it also usually has a sense of human instinct to inspect the body horror, pulling at your face or touch, the body language goes a long way. I think personally mood lighting will make something more scary due to shapes being distorted by light.
The first drawing reminds me more of Dandadan than anything by Junji Ito. It's pretty impressive by all accounts.
The monster of the second drawing kinda looks like a more human version of the the ghost devil from CM

Your content and presentation is good DD Mark. I think you’re hilarious and a skilled artist. Keep doing you.
I tried drawing horror once didn't go as expected but after this video I think I'll retry 😈🙏
just so you know I’m a commissioned artist who is also working on a manga and I went and read ruthless render and it’s probably one of my most favorite mangas I’ve ever read, seriously man great job. Love your stuff 👍
the 1st one gave me unsettling feeling. it's disgustingly horrifying. if someone's making a gore manga, i'd prefer to read that type of story. it gave me a junji vibe.
I wholly agree with you about Ito-sensei, while i occasionally like creepy stuff, Ito-senseis stories are just downright unsettling and disturbing. It both fascinates and terrifies me, so i do feel the guy is the pinnacle of horror manga. Also, best of luck in implementing your studies into your own projects in the future, thinking of checking out your manga at some point myself btw.
Another DD Markk video, love to see it ❤
I really needed to watch this. Thank you.
I would recommend adding a focus point then make something in the background seem a little bit off, that way, the focus point would distract the viewer while their subconscious picks up on the background, giving you the feeling that something is off, but you can't quite put your finger on it
Yaay DD Markk is Back, Lezz goo!!!!!🎉❤
If you ever want to improve what you've drawn, here's some advice:
13:57 :
What's wrong here is the focus.
In context to the illustration, the little girl is in the presence of the monster. So the monster's face area and her neck should be in white as her body fades into the background. The little girl would have the her upper body in white and have a gradient from her bust down to match the floor value. Which should be a dark gray value to make the white pop more.
Basically, reverse what's in white; reverse what's the focus.
Another thing is the monster's face. It's too safe. Yes, it's off-putting to have a face on a long neck but Junji Ito does more than screw with anatomy. He caricaturizes it to the extreme.
This is an easy fix: exaggerate her eye shape to the point it looks like the happy opera mask; then make her nose super small as it's swallowed up by the wrinkles of her smile; then exaggerate her smile. Make it too wide for her face as she's showing off her gums and her mangled, uneven teeth that are too long to be human.
Other than that, fundamentally, this is a good illustration. What's messing is the intentions of the white contrast and not pushing the anatomy of the monster far enough.
hey just so that you know ! i am all about improving and all, but... personnaly, the fact that you speak fast, and the way you edit your videos is just so great ! and i don't know who complained about it, but personnaly, its one of the things i appreciate the most !!!( maybe it's my adhd brain talking right now tho), anyway, keep up the good work !!!!
loved the a bit more chill video
Gasujok jong❤
Man, you're such a good artist, Deedee Megadoodoo. Take my sub
Let's go he's back
Just found your manga. I love it so much. Hope you're doing well
one thing I noticed from junji ito's drawings is that he draws the horror subject more detailed than the character's and and that makes our brains subconsciously put our self in the place of the character and imagine if it was us instead of the character and in my eponion aside from the nightmarefule aspect of the horror subject its one of the more important things of his drawings
that detailll
HES SO BACK
If you told me these drawings are made my ito i would believe it, good job man!
i prefer the snake man because snakes terrify me and the idea of a snake coming out of my head is definitely nightmare fuel. Like the way it'd move over the face, just gross to think about
He’s back!
I won't lie that drawing at the end with the smiling woman was creepy
Can you make a tutorial on how to draw in the yugioh duel monsters art style?
Horror is tricky because it is per the experiences of the person. You have the tools you have the understanding but I think it’s going to take some vulnerability from you to find that hell in your soul that you avoid. It’s a juxtaposition of what brings you joy and makes you feel safe. Everyone is low key afraid of things and people approaching them that aren’t people or things you feel safe with. Sometimes it takes more time to figure out that terror in you and observe it like you doing a life drawing. A lot of people I grew up around were afraid of clowns, but there were things that happened in my church I grew up around that was scary.
First one def eerie buh I love both
thx for the vid ,can you do a vid on how to draw arms
I personally liked the second one it was kinda creepy. I loved the smile that thing.
The second drawing is very interesrting ☺️☺️
This man can imitate any mangaka's style. I envy you man
the first one was really good but the second one we don't talk about that one
my favorite is the one with the snake coming out the dudes eye
Maybe if the first one had the head of the snake going through the other eye and it were a worm or centipede or something it would definetely make me uncomfortable
While yeah the end result didnt come out perfect. Im ngl the imagery of the snake going through his skin and popping out like a vein is deadass pretty scary and gross. I like the first one more
It looks pretty good. I think it’s just too clean. Like the monster should have disheveled hair, veiny arms, an uncanny expression
Can you do sakamoto days
Ayyyyyyyyy finally
Can you try to draw in gege’s new style
Could you do one for Berserk please 🙏.
Do someone have the link to the japanese brush he used to ink ??? I loved it so much
When did bro become an art god
What tablet do you use for digital art?
Bro can u make a video about kaiju no 8 author Naoya Matsumoto pls
Hey, I have a little bit off-topic question: have you noticed screentone "flickering" (like, it's making some ugly-ass patterns that were not there before the export)?
I suppose it happens because of how pixels on our screens work, so when you're zooming in or out it breaks the initial pattern. But is there a way to fix that? I've noticed that you're using solid grays rather than screentone and I know that it can work as a good screentone replacement, but maybe you have heard of something that can fix the flickering?
Mr dd how do i draw like Hideaki Anno
Bro where is making manga part 2
patreon
can you make a vide about drawing like mashashi kishimoto creator of naruto please?
Scary isn’t the only thing you’re trying to go for your trying to make people feel uneasy there’s a difference you want that natural fear have that in mind next time
ANALISE ISHIDA SUI! manhaka of Tokyo ghoul especially his color illustrrr
If u still read these
Pls make a draw like boichi
Dr stone
What's the name of the software you use?
I don’t think it’s your art skills that need work. Junji Ito makes art I don’t want to look at and yet I’m compelled. Try asking yourself why you’re afraid of snakes what about them gives you the “ick”. Is it the scaliness of their skin? Draw someone peeling scales off their skin. Is it their teeth? Perhaps make a snake creature with teeth all around it. Perhaps a person has snake teeth erupting from inside of them.
More YUSUKE MURATA art style 😭🙏🙏🙏
I saw a frog one time
OI
My favorite story of junji itos is Long Dream because the concept is terrifying. Also your snake image is just gross in good way. Not entirely scary. Okay so weird thought. I am terrified of roaches, but even if they make it into horror in media its just gross and not scary. I don't know weird thought.
Well to be honest
The second one resembles what u studied instead of what u were trying to copy (no offense)
What i mean is the last one is great but compared to art the first one killed it
13:49 / 14:59 ok i liked you art but hear me out 😏😏
Personally, I think you created an abomination on your first attempt.
I don't know how I watched horror as a teen. These days, my heart is weak fr 😂
