Daidus' grape actually looks good from afar. His 'art school' kinda shows up in that style

daidus openly admitting to eating cherry pits when they have cyanide in them is so on brand

Daidus wasn’t kidding about how he draws everything fat 💀 just look at that juicy grape

Daidus went so wild with his grape it turned into watercoloured painting.

I actually loved daidus's grape it looks like a dreamy planet its pretty.

I UNDERSTAND DAIDUS' STRUGGLE SO MUCH because everytime I try that "clean" cartoony style with like, clean lines and colours I just do not have the patience of correct skill so I end up with the "messier" and subsequently more realistic style, which is cool and all, BUT NOT THE CORRECT VIBE.

I actually love how Daidus blends his copics, even tho it seems "messy" in comparison to Emily's it's also super dreamy/ethereal looking!! And Emily's also look so clean and precise, sorta like a sticker like they said. Both of their art styles fit their personalities so well ^^

I love the difference between Daidus and Emily’s approaches to the exercises. Emily is very much by the book (literally), precise and delicate, and a bit afraid to play with colour. Whereas, Daidus likes to experiment with colour and bold choices, going more by eye. They bounce off of each other really well because of this!!

I think Emily is really good at following the book's instructions, but Daidus is really good at winging it. (and making all his fruits omega bobega)

Daidus: Wow you won’t even compliment my grape Emily: gives a compliment Daidus: STOP COMPLIMENTING IT

Emily's grape: belongs in a fruit basket Daidus' grape: belongs in the infinity gauntlet

I honestly love how Daidus and Emily possess different styles; both are so pleasing to the eye.

Hi I’m a professional marker artist 3 years in the making and here are some tips! - Don’t worry about dry time (while copics do have dry time it is really fast and doesn’t affect the blending that much. - Work light to dark - Push and pull (the alcohol will move the colors around, lighten or darken, or layer) more alcohol will push, less will pull. - Using exact colors isn’t a big deal because you can layer and blend to make new colors. - Paper is your most important supply (my favorite is Render marker paper by crescent) - The codes on the markers are important (letters is what basic color the marker is, first number is value, second number is saturation, the lighter the color the more alcohol is in it, the darker the color the more pigment is in it. - Have fun and trust the process!

Emi's "It look good honey" and then trying to comfort him is so funny 😭😭😭😭 daiduses grape isnt that bad LMAOO

Copic user here! It really helps to swatch your colours while you’re working on your drawing. For example if you’re looking for a shading colour (like Emily’s grape), swatch your options on the base colour on a separate paper so you can see how it looks without committing to putting it directly on the artwork. Hope this helps!

I take oil painting classes and EVERYONE starts with an apple. After that you can paint whatever you want, but the first one is always an apple. There's a woman in my class (a literal descendant of van Gogh's sister) who painted a really good looking one. Mine looked more like Daidus' grape. Tip: Don't have much experience with copics, but I did recently hear that keeping them upright will have them dry out sooner. So you should put them horizontally.

i resonated with daidus so hard accidentally drawing semi realistic when i actually wanted a stylized outcome.... art school is hard to unlearn 🚶

Bro Daidus' grape looks awesome, it feels like he wishes his artstyle was diffrent but it's genuinly so pleasing to look at!

Emily and Daidus drawing and talking about stuff is like therapy
