Hot tip from a traditional artist: When you're wanting to see if you like a certain blend of colors but dont wanna ruin the actual piece, test how they blend on a separate piece of paper. That way you can experiment and fuck up as much as much as you want lol. Saved me a lot of headache Edit: My God over 2k likes what did I do to deserve that-

[@Zodia195]

I just gave that same tip hahaha. I need to read the comment section before I post lol. Like you should see my artbooks, I use Prisma color pencils and the opposite side of the pages you see all of these color blend sections haha.

[@bellesparky]

just wanted to add to this comment thread for visibility. 1. You guys should get kneaded erasers! They decrease the chance of you screwing up the page when you rub out your sketches and you can lightly lift the graphite of the page for a better lineart experience ^^ 2. When dealing with alcohol markers, you need to work a bit fast to get more even layers or else you end up with patches with different shades etc 3. Most people (myself included) prefer the brush nib for blending but the chisel tip is great for covering large areas so you don't end up with the patches! It's always so funny/interesting seeing how artists who started digitally approach traditional art! You guys are doing a great job, keep it up :DDD

[@ilovetealgamez499]

Hi, I never usually comment, but Daidus made a comment in the end of the video stating that when you put alcohol markers on the paper once you put it, you cannot lighten it. There is a marker call, 0 or colorless blender is just regular alcohol marker with alcohol ink in it. You can place it on top of the place where you wish to lighten It will take a sec, but it will lighten. But keep in mind You do have risk of bleeding. So if you chose to use it please keep that in mind. Just use it with caution, but it is possible to lighten the dark orange. The band he was talking about to make it like a golder color you could have used a colorless blender to help achieve that color. I hope that helps. Emily your doing great just keep practicing. If Daidus or Emily don't see this I hope someone who starting copics or achohol markers. I hope this help you. 😊❤

[@17ZZZ74]

Thank you! I don't have markers but I always wondered why there was a colorlerless-white-like one. Now everything make sense!

1.) Jupiter: Was a lovely all around person that was powerful as well (Supreme Thunder being a really awesome attack) but I also liked that she just as liked “girly” things despite having a tomboy demeanor. I really wanted her cool attitude and I’m around the same height as her and I love green. 2.) Moon: Related by not wanting to do homework, crying, eating, playing games, and not catching innuendos. Although she did cry a lot she still had a spit-fire tongue against Mars which was hilarious. Yet deep down she is really sweet. 3.) Uranus: Again just the cool factor of her being a powerful scout. (World Shaking is one of my favorite attacks). I really liked how the outers could take care of an enemy most of the time no problem and had a beautiful soundtrack. My only thing was I didn’t like her attitude in some cases. While she had the right idea most of the time she either: executed it poorly or failed to communicate/was cold with the inners. I also loved her androgynous voice and style in suits.

[@Sunwie8]

Honestly, making this channel has been one of the best decisions I really like seeing you guys draw more on the traditional side! I love the whole idea and even Ichika(the mascot) its all so cute!! Having found this channel made me want to try drawing again on paper and improve my art skills. It's always been so fun watching your videos whether its here or in your main channels, keep going!!

[@PAFU00x]

I apologise in advance for the lengthy comment ! 😭 For their first time this is genuinely a good job! When I used copics for the first time the blending looked like shit, so honestly Daidus and Emily got the hard part down TT The skin on Daidus’s artwork is really well blended imp, and the way Emily coloured the hair is so cool and unique ! I do have some a useful tip though incase you guys didn’t already know! If you would like to make a colour lighter, you can put a paper underneath the your artwork, and use a colourless blender on the part you wish to get lighter. This can either completely get rid of the colour or just lighten it, but it must be done right after applying the colour (so before it dries!) You guys can also try using watercolour for the base colours (to save ink or make it less of a grueling process 😭) , and shade on top with the copics! I think Daidus’s idea with practicing multiple parts is a really good idea as well! Practicing separate parts makes the process less overwhelming to do tbh and it’ll definitely help in the long run! This video was such a fun time i’m so glad you guys tried a full copic illustration it made me really happy ,,^^,, !!

[@Lady_ETHNE]

watching spilled ink while drinking coffee and drawing an anime girl is a vibe.

[@bobertsoto6634]

I drew a lot of traditional pieces with G-pen and India ink with copics, usually I ink at the top left and work my way down to the bottom right so my arm/hand doesn’t smudge the ink. It’s a huge help if you’re inking and drag your hand on the paper!

[@ashreecar]

When I watched them talking about them struggling about the hands or other things but they still try to do some practice it gives me confidence to make mistakes and tell myself it's fine you can do better if you keep on practicing and tbh I have not been drawing for like three years so I'm trying to get back to it and practice more

[@Nhi-d8k]

Daidus: "omg is it THAT time?" yes... daidus. 2013 kids are middle schoolers now.

[@wizard-lizard]

I'm a total beginner with copics but one thing that's essential for me is having a gross swatching sheet to one side for testing and layering colors, like when Daidus mentioned wondering how red looked in the skin!

[@azharyyie]

I love Emily's lineart , its so smooth even if that anatomy is quite janky. And Daidus colour blending is so good!

[@fellow_insomniac.]

I really do enjoy these traditional art study videos. I had an art piece that i had sketched out earlier but was procrastinating on inking it. But clicking on this video gave me the encouragement I needed to ink my sketch, .So thank you Daidus and Emily, for being a great model and pushing yourselves to try things out of your comfort zone.

Idk why but 1:14 is funny to me... only because they already discussed their favorite sailor in Childhood Crushes 2. So I knew instantly.

[@gingeremu4475]

so- I find that with fantasy elements involved (like most magical girl shows) using a pink or dusty rose to shade makes things POP and makes it look more dreamy. Found it on accident while doing studies on studio triggers style, particularly promare. It looks so cohesive, but if you look closely, Galo straight up has pink shading half the time.

[@bloodykun4443]

As someone who has mostly been a traditional artist, I actually find it difficult to remember I can just undo stuff when doing digital pieces and by the time I remember I've already saved more than a few times. That and not realizing just how crucial things like layers could be. That said, I can totally understand the issues in being new to traditional work. For what it's worth I think these are both pretty good! I might have made Jupiter's bow translucent or given Venus really dark, contrasting shadows to hide her arm, but then it seems you were trying to be as accurate to the style as possible and those would be a bit of a change. I don't even recall what I watched Sailor Moon on, but I was born in '91 and some of my earliest memories are of watching the show. One of the first teeth I recall losing was while eating this big chocolate chip cookie during it and I don't think I even realized at first lol. Some years ago I managed to find the complete series and intended to watch past where I'd last left off (I think somewhere in the ark with the weird flute aliens or whatever they were) but hadn't realized it was a new english dub. I really don't want to dis any of the new work or talent but the original dub is so ingrained in my formative memories that I just can't get used to Luna not being an old grumpy cat or Molly not being from Boston, along with having a different soundtrack. Maybe one day I'll give it more of a chance. It's not like the rest is dubbed anyway. Favorite has always been Mars. Just something about a girl with a temper who can usually back up her words and has a more hidden sensitive side to her.

TIP FOR TESTING/PICKING COLORS: a great way to see if your colors are going to work together is to on a separate piece of paper (preferably the same paper as your actual drawing) you make a thumbnail of the art and color in the thumbnail. It can be as messy as you want, as small or as big as you want but it's a quick way to see how the colors are going to look next to each other. Try it out it might work for you

[@huttserl]

As a kid I always refused to watch Sailor Moon because I thought it was "too girly", which is hilarious because I was the kind of kid who loved playing with dolls and pretend I was raising a baby but apparently Sailor Moon was a bridge too far for child me.

Great video as always, really enjoyed the chill atmosphere. I got one idea that could be used in a video, You two could draw on the same paper but you don't know what the other person wants to draw. So for example: Daidus starts drawing and then stops at some point and now Emily tries to figure out what daidus is trying to draw and tries to draw what she thinks daidus was trying to draw. You score a point if you correctly draw what the other person was thinking. I think some interesting drawings could be made.
