I've been an artist for 30 years, so I'm certified to say: for someone who is "not an artist" you have a real good understanding of shapes and how to break down what you see. You're great!
The "aha" moment for me was when I realized that drawing isn't about the 3d shapes you are looking at, it's about 2d shapes you are putting down on paper.
@@MrTechnodadIt’s almost weird to hear this because I’m VERY bad at (drawing) art, but as someone who does 3d game modeling, I have that ability to look at something and break it down into the different parts and recreate it on a program. I think the main difference is I look at it in a 3d sense, rather than a 2d sense.
@@MrTechnodad To me it's more like looking at a thing in 3D, stopping it at a good angle, drawing the 2D of it and than do the details by looking back to 3D that pop out more. Sometimes physicly - like drawing a plant - and sometimes I imagine it or take a different shots from a video from different angles. But for someone who doesen't draw much, you have a good eye for shapes and proportion 💜
I lost my dad and found Technoblade during my griefing time. Then I lost Technoblade, the reason why I had something to look forward to every day during pandemic time. And now his dad is doing this very dad things that he shares to the world. He's not my dad and will never be even remotely close to the dad I had but he's a dad that's here. There's something comforting about that.
I can imagine Technodad in a wild-west scenario when the bad guy yells "Draw!" and he just pulls a 64 pack of crayons instead of a revolver and starts drawing. And the bad guy, at first confused, approaches and starts drawing with him. Also really nice episode, made me less self-concious about my terrible drawing skills 😅
As an artist and perfectionist you can imagine those two don’t go very well together😭 but watching you just draw without a care in the world made me so happy. I’ll be drawing soon, thank you so much!!
Yes! The self-judgment hampers the creative impulse. That's why I believe it's better to draw because you want to, because you are having fun, more than because you want to make something to some high standards.
The nice thing about art is that you don't have to be good at it. You just need the will to create and express yourself! I really hope that everyone can find joy in making art :3
Hey Technodad. I’m not sure if you’ll see this but I feel you will understand. One of my close friends passed away last night due to her stage 4 ovarian cancer. She was only 20 years old when she passed, but she was 18 when she found out. I’m 17 now and it made me realize how much life can be taken for granted. She fought until her last breath, she was so strong, and never let anyone tell her otherwise. She was truly an incredible person 🩷 God Bless you Izzy
I am very sorry for your loss. Remember to also take care of yourself during your grieving; sometimes we forget about that. It's fine to be sad, even very very sad, as long as it doesn't wash you away.
My dad is turning 50 this year. I just sent this video to him and now both of us are feeling inspired. He got a check in the mail the other day for about 37-ish dollars. We've just spoken and he's made notes to at some point this week, we're gonna head down to the dollar store or wherever and pick us up each a 128 pack of crayons with the built in sharpener and some 500 sheet packs of paper, and for the rest of the year we're gonna just draw whatever crazy, stupid, crappy, wacky ideas come to our heads. He would go tomorrow, but he has gout on his feet which makes it a bit hard to go out. We can now say with full truth that the government has funded our childhood dreams. Thank you Technodad for making this beautiful, inspiring video ❤
I don't know why I'm crying. I've been drawing most of my life, and i've only been a legal adult for a short amount of time, but.something about the end of this video and the admission that this isn't the medium you have an affinity for, is really hitting me. Maybe I've just had a really long day, despite just waking up (its about two am) or maybe i just needed a good cry, but. Something about this touched me in a way i don't understand. Thank you so much for making the things you do. They matter
As an artist, watching Technodad make such simple yet wholesome and creative art makes me so happy. I used to be very creative with my art when I was a kid and would just draw whatever I wanted but now it's hard to be creative because I'm so focused on making things "perfect" or worrying if I'll mess up the anatomy or structure of whatever I'm drawing. It's very relaxing though to see such wholesome art that doesn't need to be perfect. I really want to capture that creativity I had when I was a kid and this video truly does make me feel more confident in just simply drawing. Thank you once again Technodad for inspiring others
This video made my day, its so sweet to see people letting out their inner child, I recently re-discovered bubbles and spend like an hour just sitting at the window making bubbles and watching them fly away and pop ❤
My creative expression is Music and Acting! I have a show tonight and you just reminded me why I do the things I do. Thank you TechnoDad 🐷❤️ I’ll make sure to put a video of me singing in the TechnoDad Reddit
There is something nice in just watching someone draw… I don’t know what it is, but I really enjoyed just watching mr Technodad draw. There were no impressive or hard techniques, just pure emotion and creativity
3:28 in this single scene we see all the creativity that we need to, you truly are one of the most interesting people I've ever watched! Please keep making videos, they always brighten my day!
as a practiced artist about to go to art college, you taught me something in this video, you taught me to pursue the joy of art above all else, I need to stop focusing on if it is "good" or not, that has been a vampire sucking blood from my neck for far too long now
6:00 You just literally gave the best advice for artists in the world. When I entered art school this advice has been a constant throughout my journey, draw what you see and not what you think. You have an incredible ability of observation, like, it's stunning and even without practice, without professional materials, you managed to recreate those images only by observing, I'm impressed!
Did i just watch an older man talk about childhood, giving life advice, crayons and drawing with those crayons for 9 minutes? Yes. Did i enjoy it? For sure
I have moved a lot in my lifetime, and with every move stuff got "lost". My mom saved almost nothing from my childhood, and to me it's one big fever dream of which I remember so little. I'm now 34 and getting more in touch with things I used to engage with when I was a kid. My latest purchase a few months ago was a Tamagotchi~
i am an artist, and your words really helped me remember why i draw in the first place. it's not to make something "beautiful" or "pleasing" to the eyes, it's to express the emotions and creativity in my soul. sometimes i forget that and look at it as face value than what it is-- which is a window to one's soul. this was a great reminder! and as well as motivator to continue on working and being passionate. thank you for the amazing video !
7:14 Man, this reminded me of how long it's been since I watched One-Punch Man Season 2. Can't wait to rewatch both seasons and then 3 whenever it comes out That aside, this is a beautiful video
I was having a really shitty night and this video popped up as I was trying to find something to hopefully distract me. Instead, I ended up violently sobbing right at the beginning. Techno was my age, and watching you continue to spread a message of love and encouragement reminds me that I'm loved, and that it's never too late to try again, and that I can just have fun with things and not be so hard on myself whenever something goes wrong. Today IS a good day, and you are a wonderful man. Thank you very much for choosing kindness over and over again.
I never would have expected the father of the man who didnt bother setting up a second monitor to put so much effort in a video, but it makes sense as you are the very man that set up the monitor.
I worked in the care industry for 9 years. Being in it totally destroyed my creativity until earlier this year I was told by workcover (government thing in Aus for those who have been injured or psychologically damaged in the workplace) I didn't have to go back once I had fully recovered (still haven't) this for some reason reawoke something in me that had lost for years. Since then I've worked with resin, I draw, I work with clay, I do voice acting for friends. I feel alive again and it's so strange to say that out loud
I love seeing content that is genuine like this. It's not about attention. It's not about how many people see it. It's about connecting with the people who do see it, whether it be one or millions. Thanks, Technodad. I could definitly stand to spend more time connecting with my inner child ❤
@@MrTechnodad haha, I don't think I can really express how much it meant to see this video today (and to get a reply). Took the time to just draw sketch my feelings rather than a dedicated art piece after watching the video. It helped me center myself, at least temporarily, while dealing with the grief of a recent and sudden loss. It really meant a lot to have the reminder to just be and be OK with that. Tears, anger, agony, joy- all of it. Sometimes I wish these experiences were not as traumatic as they have been, particularly in these moments... but I know I have more to give for all that I've lost. Even if that is not now in my current state, someday I can carry forward the kindnesses shown to me by strangers, friends and family alike. It's odd to be so genuine in RUclips comments, but you have been so open about your grief and I just want to say Thank you. Your content; joyful, playful, somber and sad- all of it gives me at least a speck of hope regarding taking steps forward in the midst of debilitating suffering. Thank you for being genuine. ❤️
This was so incredible to watch, thank you for making this technodad I'm genuinely about to cry because this is just so special and beautiful I don't even know how to explain it You and your son have and continue to change the world for the better, never forget that
The "It's a great day today." just made me burn into tears. I just miss him so much. Thank you for being there for us Technodad. That was a great video.
I love that your videos have such a genuinely calm feeling to them. It's the difference between those videos made to be 100% calming and an earnest quiet harkening back to weekend afternoons as a kid.
Thanks so much for saying that art is something you do with your eyes. This is one of the most important lessons for artists to learn, and hey, sometimes you fall off and forget to pay attention, but eventually you don't even need to think about it. When you see something with an artist's eyes for the first time it's an incredible feeling. Suddenly the most ugly boring thing becomes exciting and beautiful as you notice every detail, every shape, every line, how they relate to one another, what colours are hiding in the edges and shadows. Those dots you instinctively ignored, that flat bit you assumed was curved. Nothing is truly ugly or boring if you see it with intent, curiosity and without assumption. Loved this video!
This is the dad that i need. Not the pot smoking. Arrogant. Narcissistic. Insulting. Swearing. Piece of work I have. I Love this man. TECHNODAD. IM SO HAPPY YOUR HERE TO COMFORT ME AFTER MY DAD RIPPED OUT SOME OF MY HAIR. I LOVE YOU.
We don’t deserve Mister Technodad. This video has a sort of Bob-Ross “anyone-can-paint” energy to it that honestly feels so healing somehow. It truly does remind me of being a little child and feeling so excited to unlock that simple yet powerful creativity. These videos always make me smile just as much as Techno’s, and I pray wonderful blessings and joy for his whole family. Thanks for the vibes, Mister Technodad.
I remember my last two weeks of high school where I hung out with my friend and art teacher after me and my friend finished weightlifting together (my teacher was very chill about it) I remember specifically hearing her say "Hey I have some old art supplies I dont want, do you guys want it?" I was curious and looked inside to see two different crayola boxes with my griend getting one and I got the other one since I really wanted to try and use a different media for my drawings. And it was FUN!! I started using them once I got them from my teacher and I felt like a child again. Its funnier because I have stained drawings on my wall so it makes the nostalgia better for me. Note to any artist or someone who wants to have fun: Buy crayons. Use your art supplies and look at random pictures and fill it to the brim with doodles or something you like. Grab stickers and go back to being a kid :)
Thank you mr. technodad, im an artist and lately i've been feeling like my art isn't up to standard or good enough so i haven't been drawing or doing anything. this really helped motivate me to do something creative and practice my art! :)
Mr.Technodad, I just want to thank you for making these types of videos, they not only just entertains us but also inspires us to achieve the very desired goal we have in life. Thank you for expressing your creativity!
Half way through the video i'm like wait, wait, wait, he is part of the superior breed of human, he is left handed, someday us left handers will rule the world.
In my early childhood I had a dream of creating my own story for a game, but back then I, for some reason, thought that by the time I grow up every idea is going to be taken and there would be nothing left for me. I also couldn't understand drawing at all, I tried again and again throughout years, failing and giving up for another year or so. And then, back in July 2020, I was like 15, I wasn't in my sleeping mood, so I sat there at 4AM, and started thinking. In 2017 I came up with a character, who, back then, was just a bunch of my other favourite characters put together in a poor way, and since I had nothing to use her for, I couldn't really reshape her character in any way; so I began thinking about a setting. An hour later I came up with like three more characters, one of them being my new protagonist and... Started writing my own story. I still couldn't draw anything, but I was writing some fanfiction for a few years where I would try to show more of my favourite media characters' personality. For these last four years, writing my own story, slowly creating my own universe, it helped me to change as a person so much; it helped me feel fulfilled every day, helped me overcome the feeling of spending my time doing nothing. It helped me put all of my inspiration, all the things that I loved in this life, into something of my own. And now, since January this year, during my first year at university, I tried to draw again and... I started making insane progress each day! Spending so much time perfecting my writing, I feel like I developed the amount of self-analysis I needed to overcome what was stopping me from improving my drawing skills. It's been only half a year, but I've just finished my first two coloured artworks, and I am insanely proud of myself, and there's a feeling like I already achieved some childhood dream I had about finishing at least one drawing of a character I love. And meanwhile, I am also just glad that I had just some of the best friends I could have with me throughout the last seven years. Most of them I met in 2019, and we quickly became a small local community for the game we liked. I saw each of them be inspired to somehow, in completely different ways, entertain other fans, be it with drawings, stories, cosplays, or even dumb post-ironic memes that we loved. I learnt from them how to take opportunities, how to commit to your passion; I learnt to create art in any form I wanted Persue art; express yourself; don't give up, you're always improving, even if you're not aware of it
I can't 100% explain why, but this video made me sort of emotional, it was just really lovely seeing you have fun, and remembering how I used to do that sometimes and realizing I'm still allowed to do that sometimes, I just appreciate it and you a lot
Oh man this was such an awsome video! When you lifted the box to reveal the Crayola pack, with the sharpener no less, I just dropped my jaws. So many moments of my life that would've been left in the dust suddenly pops into my mind in vivid colors as Technodad continues drawing strokes on the paper. These memories are absolutely priceless and I can't thank Technodad enough for helping me remember my past.
You have a lot of fingers, like ten of them. I don't know why but it was incredibly heartwarming to hear that. It's the type of humor my dad makes, thank you.
Films, pictures, and words really are your thing Mr. Technodad. No wonder Techno makes such great films in the form of RUclips videos, albeit not that heavy with editing, but captures that one thing you just can't describe with words that let's us enjoy his videos as much as we enjoy yours! No wonder he's so good at what he's done. Because he got it from his parents
Its always great to see you flexing your abilities as a content creator and a comedian. You have single handedly made a video about drawing with crayons incredibly engaging and wholesome.
I remember when i was a kid, there was a book series that came out in the uk that was super hard to get in america, as it wasnt sold in stores yet and ordering things online was difficult and expensive, so it was a big thing for one of my friends to get the next book. As an adult, i got home drunk after a party and was browsing youtube and saw an animatic for the series. My drunk self realized i was an adult with a bank account and i made one of the few drunk purchases ive made in my life: buying the first few books of the series. I completely forgot because it took a while to ship the books, but then they came in and i felt a part of my childhood soar. I then was pained by feeling like an adult, because the protagonist was my age when i first read it (~11) and all the adults in the book were confused and concerned as to why an old elemental mage guy was taking a kid on lethal missions, a kid with no experience or training in magic, and were convinced she was going to get killed, and in rereading the books the adults were kinda right. That kids plot armor was the only thing keeping her alive for 3 whole books.
I recently started drawing again and at first it was just because i wanted to and it was fun. Somewhere along the way I think Iurned it into a chore where I have to do this. You reminded me to just have fun in the actual act of drawing rather than just in the end result. Hope you have a groovy day, thanks Mister Technodad :)
My grandma got me this box one year and it was my pride and joy. I only used them for very special stuff as I was so worried about "wearing them down" This video brought back such special memories for me.
when you draw, you go in creative mode, a world of your immagination where everything works as you like, and you disconnect from everything around you. Love ya Technodad!
This video speaks to my creative soul. 've got a heart for stories n art - even had a whole gallery album on me phone dedicated to a story concept I've got in the works. Sadly I'd just found out I had accidentally deleted that album and all 200-300 digital/semi-traditional arts (spanning 6-7 years) that were stored there are now gone. Its a god awful nightmare come true and what's worst is that it must have happened a month ago because the files are nowhere to be found in the 'recently deleted folder' that only auto perma deletes things after 30 months of being in the trash. And if I wasn't in such a rut during that span of time or if I had trusted my sneakin' suspiscion that somethin' was up with how the picture count had surprisingly decreased more than last time - I might have been able to save those artworks. I'm still shaken by many recent events and misfortunes (especially this recent debacle), but this video reminded me of a lot of things when it comes to creativity and expression. Its given me a little hope back. Creativity truly is the expression of the soul. Thanks Technodad! [:)] (I, too, also miss drawing with crayons and that childhood wonderment)
Realizing you have free will, and using it to entertain your inner child is the best 😂

He had the experience every kid wanted to have when they grew up, a bit late.
7:14 Man, this reminded me of how long it's been since I watched One-Punch Man Season 2. Can't wait to rewatch both seasons and then 3 whenever it comes out
That aside, this is a beautiful video
I was having a really shitty night and this video popped up as I was trying to find something to hopefully distract me. Instead, I ended up violently sobbing right at the beginning. Techno was my age, and watching you continue to spread a message of love and encouragement reminds me that I'm loved, and that it's never too late to try again, and that I can just have fun with things and not be so hard on myself whenever something goes wrong. Today IS a good day, and you are a wonderful man. Thank you very much for choosing kindness over and over again.
Today on the Mr. Technodad show: Mr. Technodad plays with crayons.
I never would have expected the father of the man who didnt bother setting up a second monitor to put so much effort in a video, but it makes sense as you are the very man that set up the monitor.
I worked in the care industry for 9 years.
Being in it totally destroyed my creativity until earlier this year I was told by workcover (government thing in Aus for those who have been injured or psychologically damaged in the workplace) I didn't have to go back once I had fully recovered (still haven't) this for some reason reawoke something in me that had lost for years.
Since then I've worked with resin, I draw, I work with clay, I do voice acting for friends.
I feel alive again and it's so strange to say that out loud
I love seeing content that is genuine like this. It's not about attention. It's not about how many people see it. It's about connecting with the people who do see it, whether it be one or millions.
Thanks, Technodad. I could definitly stand to spend more time connecting with my inner child ❤
This guy gets me.
@@MrTechnodad haha, I don't think I can really express how much it meant to see this video today (and to get a reply). Took the time to just draw sketch my feelings rather than a dedicated art piece after watching the video. It helped me center myself, at least temporarily, while dealing with the grief of a recent and sudden loss. It really meant a lot to have the reminder to just be and be OK with that. Tears, anger, agony, joy- all of it. Sometimes I wish these experiences were not as traumatic as they have been, particularly in these moments... but I know I have more to give for all that I've lost. Even if that is not now in my current state, someday I can carry forward the kindnesses shown to me by strangers, friends and family alike.
It's odd to be so genuine in RUclips comments, but you have been so open about your grief and I just want to say Thank you. Your content; joyful, playful, somber and sad- all of it gives me at least a speck of hope regarding taking steps forward in the midst of debilitating suffering.
Thank you for being genuine. ❤️
This was so incredible to watch, thank you for making this technodad
I'm genuinely about to cry because this is just so special and beautiful I don't even know how to explain it
You and your son have and continue to change the world for the better, never forget that
The "It's a great day today." just made me burn into tears. I just miss him so much. Thank you for being there for us Technodad. That was a great video.
7:19 Tatsumaki mentioned, yay!!
as a self taught artist, i approve of this video 🙌
thank you for this story mr technodad!!
I was looking for this comment.

thank you for this video Technodad I love your enthusiasm and your story telling always puts a smile on my face!
yes
I love that your videos have such a genuinely calm feeling to them. It's the difference between those videos made to be 100% calming and an earnest quiet harkening back to weekend afternoons as a kid.
The amazing holy Crayola 64 pack with the sharpener on the back!
Thanks so much for saying that art is something you do with your eyes. This is one of the most important lessons for artists to learn, and hey, sometimes you fall off and forget to pay attention, but eventually you don't even need to think about it. When you see something with an artist's eyes for the first time it's an incredible feeling. Suddenly the most ugly boring thing becomes exciting and beautiful as you notice every detail, every shape, every line, how they relate to one another, what colours are hiding in the edges and shadows. Those dots you instinctively ignored, that flat bit you assumed was curved. Nothing is truly ugly or boring if you see it with intent, curiosity and without assumption. Loved this video!
That's so sweet♡
Doing something you would loved to do before and you still love it and actually can do it just like you wanted!it's the best
This is the dad that i need. Not the pot smoking. Arrogant. Narcissistic. Insulting. Swearing. Piece of work I have.
I Love this man.
TECHNODAD. IM SO HAPPY YOUR HERE TO COMFORT ME AFTER MY DAD RIPPED OUT SOME OF MY HAIR.
I LOVE YOU.
Sorry to hear this. Stay safe! Know that it gets better.
You are probably the most recognizable dad across youtube!❤️
We don’t deserve Mister Technodad. This video has a sort of Bob-Ross “anyone-can-paint” energy to it that honestly feels so healing somehow. It truly does remind me of being a little child and feeling so excited to unlock that simple yet powerful creativity. These videos always make me smile just as much as Techno’s, and I pray wonderful blessings and joy for his whole family. Thanks for the vibes, Mister Technodad.
when I was a kid back in 2007 or so, you were a cool kid if you had either a 10-colors pen or a pack of 128 faber castel colored pencils
Or a fidget spinner
I remember my last two weeks of high school where I hung out with my friend and art teacher after me and my friend finished weightlifting together (my teacher was very chill about it)
I remember specifically hearing her say "Hey I have some old art supplies I dont want, do you guys want it?" I was curious and looked inside to see two different crayola boxes with my griend getting one and I got the other one since I really wanted to try and use a different media for my drawings.
And it was FUN!! I started using them once I got them from my teacher and I felt like a child again. Its funnier because I have stained drawings on my wall so it makes the nostalgia better for me.
Note to any artist or someone who wants to have fun: Buy crayons. Use your art supplies and look at random pictures and fill it to the brim with doodles or something you like. Grab stickers and go back to being a kid :)
You have no idea how much this means to so many people out there. Thank you for doing what Technoblade would have wanted. I hope you do well!
This man was definitely the cool kid in school and the cool dad, that nobody pretended to like but all genuinely loved.
you got me good with big crayons i genuinly didnt see it comin even after you missed them twice.
The fact you read and reply to a lot of the comments is amazing, thank you for being here Mr technodad ❤️
Thanks for this TD, I really enjoyed it :)
yes
Thank you mr. technodad, im an artist and lately i've been feeling like my art isn't up to standard or good enough so i haven't been drawing or doing anything. this really helped motivate me to do something creative and practice my art! :)
Whow!! You are so good at drawing! Have a great day/night and see you when you post again!
I would literally watch hours of you drawing and talking about stuff, it's very relaxing!
Such a beautiful, beautiful video. Thank you so much for this - it really made me feel blessed to be alive.
yes
Mr.Technodad, I just want to thank you for making these types of videos, they not only just entertains us but also inspires us to achieve the very desired goal we have in life. Thank you for expressing your creativity!
Half way through the video i'm like wait, wait, wait, he is part of the superior breed of human, he is left handed, someday us left handers will rule the world.
as an artist my jaw DROPPED when you just?? Drew the hand??? Just like that?????? INSANE 🎉
That illusion at 3:15 actually got me
Also you're pretty good at drawing lol
In my early childhood I had a dream of creating my own story for a game, but back then I, for some reason, thought that by the time I grow up every idea is going to be taken and there would be nothing left for me. I also couldn't understand drawing at all, I tried again and again throughout years, failing and giving up for another year or so.
And then, back in July 2020, I was like 15, I wasn't in my sleeping mood, so I sat there at 4AM, and started thinking. In 2017 I came up with a character, who, back then, was just a bunch of my other favourite characters put together in a poor way, and since I had nothing to use her for, I couldn't really reshape her character in any way; so I began thinking about a setting. An hour later I came up with like three more characters, one of them being my new protagonist and... Started writing my own story. I still couldn't draw anything, but I was writing some fanfiction for a few years where I would try to show more of my favourite media characters' personality.
For these last four years, writing my own story, slowly creating my own universe, it helped me to change as a person so much; it helped me feel fulfilled every day, helped me overcome the feeling of spending my time doing nothing. It helped me put all of my inspiration, all the things that I loved in this life, into something of my own.
And now, since January this year, during my first year at university, I tried to draw again and... I started making insane progress each day! Spending so much time perfecting my writing, I feel like I developed the amount of self-analysis I needed to overcome what was stopping me from improving my drawing skills. It's been only half a year, but I've just finished my first two coloured artworks, and I am insanely proud of myself, and there's a feeling like I already achieved some childhood dream I had about finishing at least one drawing of a character I love.
And meanwhile, I am also just glad that I had just some of the best friends I could have with me throughout the last seven years. Most of them I met in 2019, and we quickly became a small local community for the game we liked. I saw each of them be inspired to somehow, in completely different ways, entertain other fans, be it with drawings, stories, cosplays, or even dumb post-ironic memes that we loved. I learnt from them how to take opportunities, how to commit to your passion; I learnt to create art in any form I wanted
Persue art; express yourself; don't give up, you're always improving, even if you're not aware of it
Technodad, Thankyou for the speech and your drawing is really nice. Its beautiful
I can't 100% explain why, but this video made me sort of emotional, it was just really lovely seeing you have fun, and remembering how I used to do that sometimes and realizing I'm still allowed to do that sometimes, I just appreciate it and you a lot
2:02 well first I thought that it is kinda. well normal BUT A BUILT IN SHARPER O MY GOD NO WAY I think I don't have any store near me that have it
Oh man this was such an awsome video! When you lifted the box to reveal the Crayola pack, with the sharpener no less, I just dropped my jaws. So many moments of my life that would've been left in the dust suddenly pops into my mind in vivid colors as Technodad continues drawing strokes on the paper. These memories are absolutely priceless and I can't thank Technodad enough for helping me remember my past.
Technodad!!!!
Bro why can't i comment normally?
yes
How did you write 1 hour sooner then the video?…
@@KGANG_OFFICIAL member ship I think
@@KGANG_OFFICIALvideo premier?
You have a lot of fingers, like ten of them. I don't know why but it was incredibly heartwarming to hear that. It's the type of humor my dad makes, thank you.
Mario Paint Music 😂 great choice!
Bro freehanded a hand better than anyone in my high school AP Art class! I applaud you Technodad
I love Technodad, continuing the legacy of his son in his own unique way.
And cementing a notion
Films, pictures, and words really are your thing Mr. Technodad. No wonder Techno makes such great films in the form of RUclips videos, albeit not that heavy with editing, but captures that one thing you just can't describe with words that let's us enjoy his videos as much as we enjoy yours!
No wonder he's so good at what he's done. Because he got it from his parents
Video
OMG YOU ARE SO MUCH LIKE YOUR SON I CANT YOURE HILARIOUS 😂
yes
Its always great to see you flexing your abilities as a content creator and a comedian. You have single handedly made a video about drawing with crayons incredibly engaging and wholesome.

8:02 FLOOOOOOF
I remember when i was a kid, there was a book series that came out in the uk that was super hard to get in america, as it wasnt sold in stores yet and ordering things online was difficult and expensive, so it was a big thing for one of my friends to get the next book. As an adult, i got home drunk after a party and was browsing youtube and saw an animatic for the series. My drunk self realized i was an adult with a bank account and i made one of the few drunk purchases ive made in my life: buying the first few books of the series. I completely forgot because it took a while to ship the books, but then they came in and i felt a part of my childhood soar.
I then was pained by feeling like an adult, because the protagonist was my age when i first read it (~11) and all the adults in the book were confused and concerned as to why an old elemental mage guy was taking a kid on lethal missions, a kid with no experience or training in magic, and were convinced she was going to get killed, and in rereading the books the adults were kinda right. That kids plot armor was the only thing keeping her alive for 3 whole books.
I wish my dad was as talented at drawing as Technodad
Completely captured what it’s like to heal your inner child with things you couldn’t have as a kid. Tearing up!
3:32 THAT GOT ME😭
6:45 that’s really good!
8:01 THAT SO GOOD
8:05 FLOOF!!! FLOOOOF!!
I recently started drawing again and at first it was just because i wanted to and it was fun. Somewhere along the way I think Iurned it into a chore where I have to do this. You reminded me to just have fun in the actual act of drawing rather than just in the end result. Hope you have a groovy day, thanks Mister Technodad :)
this is so incredibly cute
Holy heck that optical illusion bit with the crayons in the white void room was awesome.
YAY a new Technodad video!!
This is giving the same energy as a Bob Ross episode and im 100% here for it. Thank you Technodad!
You’re the best.
I'm still a child, and I think this made me realize that I need to start being creative again, thank you :)
3:33 Bro’s becoming @ZachKing
My grandma got me this box one year and it was my pride and joy. I only used them for very special stuff as I was so worried about "wearing them down" This video brought back such special memories for me.
3:34 you broke my brain
when you draw, you go in creative mode, a world of your immagination where everything works as you like, and you disconnect from everything around you. Love ya Technodad!
Whooo!
This video speaks to my creative soul. 've got a heart for stories n art - even had a whole gallery album on me phone dedicated to a story concept I've got in the works.
Sadly I'd just found out I had accidentally deleted that album and all 200-300 digital/semi-traditional arts (spanning 6-7 years) that were stored there are now gone. Its a god awful nightmare come true and what's worst is that it must have happened a month ago because the files are nowhere to be found in the 'recently deleted folder' that only auto perma deletes things after 30 months of being in the trash. And if I wasn't in such a rut during that span of time or if I had trusted my sneakin' suspiscion that somethin' was up with how the picture count had surprisingly decreased more than last time - I might have been able to save those artworks.
I'm still shaken by many recent events and misfortunes (especially this recent debacle), but this video reminded me of a lot of things when it comes to creativity and expression. Its given me a little hope back. Creativity truly is the expression of the soul.
Thanks Technodad! [:)]
(I, too, also miss drawing with crayons and that childhood wonderment)
Unlisted?
Probably
