It’s so funny because she’s definitely kind of like a grandma, but is so much faster than him at drawing, lol.

I used to be solely digital art but now traditional paintings, graphite, and charcoal is just so classy and appealing. Maybe it’s growing up, and definitely the AI epidemic, but it’s just so fun I feel so much more inspired doing physical media. Happy for you!

i am hype for the new traditional drawing channel it's giving the good vibes of like drawingwiffwaffles and as long as the new channel brings back your joy for art then I will back it with my viewership as hard as fuck

Haven’t heard squid neutral in a while, I was so happy to hear it again

I completely understand. I took AP Art, and the constant need to produce to not fail affected me mentally, especially when a lot of things happened in my senior year. It left me burnt out and I stopped drawing for a long time. My love for art was dwindling for years until a few months ago

@ninjaydes

I got really lucky and took AP Art and an extra elective of normal art at the same time. Even then, many all-nighters were pulled trying to get drawings ready. It was a fun experience, but not one I want to relive.

5:08 Wtf Daidus these are amazing.

Been watching you since I was in middle school, and I just turned 20 last week. I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say we will never abandon you Daidus!! I've always loved watching your videos because they're funny and I can tell it's the type of content that comes straight from your heart. I'm literally always so excited for whatever new project you come up with, and I am SO hyped that you are reigniting your passion for art!! Too happy for you because you deserve it for the amazing videos and laughs you've been giving us all these years man. We love you Daidus, and Ima always be right here to support whatever content you put out cuz you're just that guy!! 🫶

Back in the day I much preferred digital art. Since I got back into art I'm actually liking traditional art more and more. It's like reading manga, I'd rather hold a physical volume in my hands than read it on a screen.

Same! I love both physical manga and art. There's just a charm to it that you lose with digital. Both are great though.

I’ve always loved the animated KZread channels. It’s unfortunate KZread doesn’t give animators more attention or audiences give more patience and understanding on how much time and effort a single video takes. But Daidus, your in JAPAN! Make memories! Enjoy the moments! Go hang out with Emily. It’s the Kiki conundrum of using your passion as your living. Take all the time you need. Your animations were always very interesting and goofy.

Spilled ink is so adorable. Watching you and Emily work out your creative processes is so fun and interesting. Keep it going!

Bruh, you’re videos are amazing no matter how long it takes! When it comes to animator KZreadrs, I usually assume not to expect much in terms of speed since it takes time in order to get great results. In other words, just keep cooking cause I’mma be here when you start serving!

DAIDUS?? I'm so glad you're taking time for yourself, you deserve it fr

Okay that animation at the end was super cute. Great job so far on the videos so far daidus considering I barely got into your videos in the last year I'm loving watching some of your older stuff while also catching this new channels videos too. And it really is great to find you still love something you thought you were burnt out on. So congrats on discovering that.

honestly watching spilled ink video reignite my fire to draw again I quit like 5-6 years ago LMAO cus of parents and pressure but yea I'm doing it as a hobby now and I genuinely want to learn. Good to hear ur back King

This is why i always make sure to appreciate the animation and effort into these kind of videos. Cause i know how hard it can be so i never take these videos for granted. I think its also cause im a artist so i know how it feels too so. Hope your doing okay Daidus

It is like sport. Animation is basically running full on marathons. Drawing on paper is like a happy little workout. You have to convince yourself everytime to do that workout but when you do it, you get so happy, you question yourself why it was so hard to start. And it may happen every time that the start will burn you out. Daidus, you are just someone who takes your time. You may be slower doing productive things than others, but acceptance is key

It’s message to daidus or anyone that mistakes is the first step to success so don’t fear or feel under pressure too much

Welcome back! I binged all of the Spilled Ink vids. They’re so great and well done! I’m so glad you and Emily created this project!

The channel honestly inspired me to go back doing traditional art again n honestly, i missed that! Thanks for updating us on ur situation. :D

This video warmed my heart so much, I'm starting my journey in traditional art too, it's just yeah lots of stuff to do and a week without touching a pencil passes very easily. It's nice to keep getting inspired by a creator I love and just have relatability on a couple hardships. Good luck on Spilled Ink Daidus

It’s ok to get burnt out! Happens to every artist lol

no fucking way... FINALLY THE KING OF BASEMENT DWELLERS HAS RETURNED!!!

The irony of you, the squid man, of all people having to go back to drawing with actual ink (and paint) to feel inspired is not lost on me.

So happy to hear that you are back, I have also been feeling super burnt out so this is very relatable to hear. Excited for the new channel

Okay professional yapper here to do some yappin... I've been watching Daidus since 2020, right at the start of the pandemic. I found him when I was really struggling with stuff, and his videos always made me laugh (had just watched Death Note and was loving the references). Not only did they make me smile, but they also inspired me to pick up my pencil again and start drawing. I hadn't drawn since I was really little, but Daidus' videos made me wanna try again. It resparked my love of art, and gave me something to look forward to. Recently, I've hit that roadblock again. This is a youtube comment section, so I'll spare my story lol, but I haven't been able to draw like I use to and it's been frustrating. This video was really comforting, and it reminded me that people struggle. And like that's okay (woah, shocker :O) sometimes we need to take a break, or try something new. when you look at it like that, it isn't too bad (still really scary ngl but hey baby steps :D) To sum up that big block of text: Thank you Daidus! I wouldn't recommend reading this but thanks for inspiring me (again) to keep drawing

Burn out is so real. I'm so happy that you took the time to find a new medium to love. Can't wait to watch all of Spilled Ink

I'm so excited to see more come from Spilled Ink! You & Emily both make my day and to see what you guys can do together is magic

THE MAN IS BACK

Hes on his Cory arch lol, we are here for you brother 😔✊🏿

I completely resonate with being scared to start things, and getting burnt out on things. I will continue supporting you, cause you rock Daidus!

I practically stopped drawing 10 years ago from burn out and I never really ever came back to it again, which sucks because I really loved to draw. I unfortunately got into a warped view of my art due to comparing myself, an amateur artist, to much more experienced (professional) artists and that's what made art stop being fun for me. I slowly started accepting that art isn't my thing anymore but recently learn that I have to change my mindset about drawing and stop pressuring myself to draw at a level I was never at. But also that there are other ways to be creative, like crocheting! All of this to say that in some way I feel you and glad you found a way to enjoy art again! I have subscribed to you and Emily's new channel :) Good luck!

As a University student getting a graphic design major, creative writing major, and studio art minor THIS IS SO. I knew you got it because you are also an artist but you don't get it like. The times i've gone 7 months to a YEAR without writing or drawing for myself....And sometimes I think HUH maybe it's over. Maybe I can't do it anymore. And then , yeah, when suddenly something happens to bring that motivation and feeling of love for your craft back and you realize ah damn here we go again. This is why I haven't quit since I was 11 in middle school. Like I understand man. 🤧 TBH never apologize for taking time for yourself. We all need it content creator or not and i'm glad traditional art has brought you back. I'm actually so excited!!!!

I'm happ that you found your passion again. Also I'm loving that more people are switching back to traditional art. It's so inspiring.

I'm actually excited for your new channel. I used to struggle with the same thing with art. 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats on finding joy again with it!

I wish you all the best Daidus with getting back in track, sounds like you are very determined to find that love and passion again, and that's amazing! As a long-time subscriber, it will be nice to dive into new channel videos and just see you and Emily have fun with traditional art, I'm sure for many it will also be very inspiring (like for me for example, I have problems with getting back to drawing for a long time, and now I start to feel like I want to pick up pencil again). Wish you and Emily all the best of luck!!

The master procrastinator is back.

I can very much relate to the struggles of making videos, keeping up with it and the expectations you can put yourself under. Also that fear of starting over for each video it's always so daunting! But good job on taking care of yourself last year and working towards a new endeavour! I want to get back into traditional art too, glad Spilled Ink is doing well already! All the best Daidus!

Daidus you will always have a special place in my heart cause u helped me get passed some darker times for me, you we’re the thing that bringer more joy to my life so I really hope you can find joy on animating again, please be healthy and take the time you deserve!! I’ll always wait patiently for you

He LIVES!!! We missed ya Daidus!

Emily finally gets to double up on her traditional media supplies, smart :D

Hearing you talk about how motivated and moved physical art makes you is so inspiring and it makes me excited just hearing about how it makes someone feel.

really good to see you back daidus!! also good luck with spilled ink and overcoming art block, you've got this dude :D

I've felt that burn out for years now and i always believed in this digital art speech, but im learning to go back to just start having a messy sketchbook and idk i feel rejuvenated and excited once again, feeling the passion of art that i thought i lost it.

“Narwals call me The Squid” I hope you do great in the near future :)

Congrats Daidus, hope you guys have fun! It's always great to see someone rediscover their passions. Glad you're well mate, clearly what you did needed to happen, I don't see any reason for you to feel guilty for taking time for yourself! Cheers 🍻

that was a fun video, Daidus. I'm the type of persons who like art as a hobby but dont actively improve on it, but watching your vid make me think of all the things i can experience if i take on this journey. Though i am still struggling with motivation and a lot of distractions in life, I wish to create something and put all of my passion into it. Thank you for the vid, Daidus!

Risk it for the biscuit gave me a nice chuckle

So excited for the new channel! I love traditional art so I’m super excited to see what you and Emily come up with :)) welcome back!

Love that you found something again that inspires you! Btw I would love to see you tackle projects in the future no matter how long they may take (just my opinion tho). Glad to see you're back and looking forward to the new channel. :)

Not only as a "hey I'm alive" video but also just as a regular video, this is a banger, it might be my favorite video in your channel didus!! Idk I love how raw it was. If you ever run out of video ideas, just post whatever what's in your mind at the moment and we'll love it

Holy shit. Blessed with the yearly upload

Oh there's already 3 videos on the new account!? That's a great start!

Good to hear you've crested this stump, man. Good luck with your ventures in the future!

oh that death note exhibit sounds really cool!! your statement about digital art vs traditional art also resonates with me and Ive been feeling in a similar way regarding it recently -- now I really wish I was in a position to check out that death note exhibit haha it genuinely sounds like it has the magic of reigniting one's curiosity regarding art. i really love how all the manga panels look and seeing the behind the scenes of it sounds *really* cool- that aside, my love for art in general has also been reignited recently after a 4 year long burnout due to a project I ended up joining. i hope things start looking up for you, thank you for the video and cheers !!

Daidus… literally just do whatever makes you have FUN!! It sounds like that’s your gut telling you to do this, because it looks like it keeps nagging you to do it! You’re gonna have a lot of fun trying whatever you want to do, you’re going to learn new skills, it’s gonna change things up, you’re gonna add new audiences to your community, etc Good luck man! I’m so happy for you 👏

The king has returned, my procrastination streak must be interupted .

Seeing this video made my day and hearing your voice again was like coming home. You bet im gonna watch every single video on here and spilled ink!

Love this. Happy to hear you are back and I looking forward to the future of your channels, both old and new. Best of luck!!

DAIDUS!! YOU'RE BACK!!! It feels like forever ago when I found you through Joey the Anime Man, I'm glad you're still kicking

Even though you are burnt out can I thank you for the Honkai Star Rail plug in your last video, I enjoyed the game and at least got Aventurine before phone storage ran low.

Brah, do what you gotta do. Been viewin' your stuff for many years now, and have more often than not been left pleased. Do what you conceive to be your duty, brotha!

I’m entirely too early but it’s good to have you back! Burn out happens to everyone and it’s okay to take breaks- it’s all about pacing yourself.

honestly this makes me feel much better about the break im having from drawing, ive started to think that it might just not be for me, but this kind of gives me some sort of hope that i can still experience the joy of creating something on paper. thank you :DD

Honestly was worth the wait man. My husband and I love watching your stuff!! It's good to have you back!! This one made us laugh, in good ways 😂❤

Looking forward to seeing all the awesome things you do. Allllllso the daidus ronpa stuff was so stinking fun to watch, you've made me want to rewatch it 😁

Im so hyped for you new channel!! I started with traditional and kept with it for a long time before i could afford a new one, and even now, experimenting with new supplies and just drawing for the sake of having fun in traditional art is something i still love doing :) i hope you have a lot of fun with it ! Please keep your mental health first and your audience second. Whats the point of art if it stops being fun??

I feel you, I burnt myself up twice over way too ambitious projects, I'm glad you found something fun in some form of art, it makes everything else more bearable when you have a good hobby.

You know it's okay to take your time, we as your viewers wish to see your content but at the same time we wish to know that you get your time and are healthy bro

I remember watching your videos along with various other animation/story-time channels during what I felt was the "peak" of the genre. Always loved your more unique sketch style and humor. Looking forward to the new channel and traditional art videos!!

I'm sooo glad to see a video from our baby Daidus! Lots of love for you and Emily ! You got a follower here ❤
