def in Japan: a comic diary

I'm taking part in Inktober, the daily ink drawing challenge. Here is a very Japanese sight:

I'm not satisfied. Need more colours.
I have no faith in your artistic comprehension. There is a saying, art is not meant to go with the couch.

Why not make some art to show us all how it's done? You could make colorful art! I'd really like it, I bet.

There, colourified!

Wow, good enough for your mom's fridge. Now all the members here respect you more.
 
No time to waste on spiteful trolls. Not squabbling with people I dislike makes me happier.

Not every day is a winner, but I liked today's:

Susukino boys. If you live in Japan, you'Ve seen these dudes on the corner.

Nice to see your interpretation of the 雲海. One of my favourites so far!
Thanks! Same spot, but facing the east. I took a memo on an index card, and drew it when I arrived at the in-laws.
 
Getting ready to do another long comic in November, one about travelling in Kyoto . In the meantime, keeping the daily ink drawings going.

A very 90's drawing.

A day at Nakajima Park

Reflections on the park. As opposed to being the autumn leaf season, it was the season of Japanese people taking hundreds of photos they'll never look at again. Literally two out of three people in the park were taking pictures rather than looking.
