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

[WhisktheKey]

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

[DelCause]

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

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

[DaisyCoreXD]

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

[Sybato]

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)

[KenzieTown]

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

[stortsy]

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 ^^

[tofuriin]

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

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!

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

[kristallazooloo]

Emi's "It look good honey" and then trying to comfort him is so funny 😭😭😭😭

daiduses grape isnt that bad LMAOO

[havocthehorror]

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

[gyummii]

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!!

[tirmel]

I really liked Daidus' fruits! One of the things that stood out to me was that Emily's line art stood out more in the final product which may be part of why it looks more "cartoonish" and Daidus' looked more realistic? Either way, both versions looked fantastic!

[emi]

I love how daidus encouraged Emily to go out of her comfort zone cause it really made the grape pop and look juicier

[SeerOfTime]

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

[doccavs]

Daidus' "errors" look more like happy little accidents. That grape illustration looks phenomenal
