i do love when he uses a pen

I get an A+ in art yesterday with an pen you reviewed

“My job is whatever I want it to be” We should all have this attitude in life.

I was expecting an armed security officer standing behind Peter.

I enjoy the pen experiments. I think if I used this pen my art would be worse because I’d be incredibly nervous using such an expensive pen.

2:53 "ICBM mixed with fine china" ....... just imagining that is amazing, thanks for the drawing idea peter!

Peter is a perfectly pleasant pen pilot, though perhaps a bit peculiar.

Using cheap watercolour supplies is a real pain in the ass, I really have to upgrade 😬 it's just one of those mediums where quality of materials make a big difference with what you can do. I've learned a lot by starting out with the cheap stuff though.

Peter using a pen..? Peter Pen?

Sometimes, when I'm feeling blocked, or unmotivated, I will pick up a new pen, pencil, brush- whatever- and then use it to figure out what I've done to deserve it. There, new art.

Peter gives off “crème brûlée” vibes, you feel me? That dude is proper and pleasant.

I love how genuinely excited you are!

Love the pen. I do use my tools to help "set the mood" for my work, though I mostly do deep knowledge work and writing, not drawing. A nice notebook, a nice pen that feels right, and an inspiring ink are all something that make me happy and emotionally more "positive", which can help my motivation. I recently found myself feeling a little emotionally "down" and so I switched from using a black ink to Platinum's Blue Black ink, and my mood pretty instantly perked back up. Sometimes just switching things up and finding some joy in the little things can make a difference. I have my "favorite" pens that I use, and they are not always my most expensive pens.

Peter you are absolutely whimsical

Every time I look at you draw, I awe at the complexity and the beauty of your drawing. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and life with us.

Might be one of my favourite hairstyles on Peter - looking snazzy my dude

The thing that really got me to start drawing more, and feeling more confident in my drawing, was finding out about rotring isographs from this channel, and getting myself a set. So, thank you for that, Peter!

I loved that first drawing! That had some really special energy. The line quality on all of these looked amazing as well. Particularly crisp and black. The real bonus though was the reflection. I've been art blocked for about 2-3 months and after watching this and reading the comments I actually feel like I could draw again. Thank you

What I really like about your work is we can make our own interpretation of what we are seeing. Not only that but your lines are so bold and clean and you are just sketching.. like.. dude its amazing!

I LOVE YOUR NEW ROOM PETER

your art is so amazing and i love watching your videos!

It is the best thing in the literal world that you put a timer on the sponsored segments btw. 🙏 thank you

those little portraits are sick, thanks peter

You have the cutest personality! I do indeed love when you use pens.

The "Nice Pen" inspiration is totally real. I remember getting my first set of Micron pens and having a huge rush of motivation (I had previously only used cheap bic writing pens to draw with).

everytime i watch a video i just feel urge to improve my drawing. love u peter pls never fade

A 1500 dollar pen would affect my art in a profound way; I wouldn't dare touch it for fear of damaging it, especially if it was only lend to me...

Pros: it looks like a reg pen, improved feel, feeling of significants, flawless flow, inspirational, invigorating Cons: it’s costs 150x the average pen, added pressure to better, overthinking, still more expensive than an iPad Pro Apple pen and procreate :) great drawings Peter!

I think that there is something to having nice materials that's helpful in the creative process. Like, when you're cooking and you use a good knife, it makes you want to use it more. I think art supplies work the same way. BUT I also think there's a threshold where quality plateaus and you begin to enter into branding territory that causes things to be expensive. I've never used a $1500 pen before but I absolutely noticed a difference when I purchased my first $70 fountain pen from the $5 ones I've used in the past.

Michelangelo was sculpting before the Sistine Chapel. I believe he was also pissed that they wanted him to paint.

You are so wise Peter 💕

Love the last two portraits! they turned out great!

Omg your drawing is mesmerizing! Awesomeness😲

I remember the moment I decided to be an artist. My grandmother gave me my first professional set of watercolors and it was like the heavens opened up and choirs of angels began to sing and I thought this is what I want to do with the rest of my life! Having that first professional set of watercolors open up so many possibilities to me. I think this can work for you and against you but mostly always positively for me. Thanks Peter I enjoyed the video, please keep them coming’ I have spent $55 on a Noodler’s triple tail pen and I think that is the most I will ever spend on a fountain pen! What is the most you have paid for a pen? Would you spend $1500 on a pen? Just curious, please be careful out there and take care of yourself, be safe and I look forward to your next video.

Sometimes when I don't feel like drawing I will switch from my leadholder to a pencil or a mechanical pencil, the difference is small but sometimes it's just enough to make things feel fresh

*it's just gorgeous*

If everyone had a little Peter in there life the world would be a much better place

Love the last frame. Those three drawings are great.

Your videos are mesmerizing, I would love to have one of these drawings on my wall they look so cool

I really like those last two abstract heads. Kind of a different style from the usual, and they look awesome, nice shapes. I'd buy one like that, especially with some color! My girlfriend bought one of a head as well, I guess people are drawn to recognizable figures for small drawingss, a purely abstract textural thing works better as large mural or painting in my opinion

I do mainly pen on paper (or on my arm) but a while ago I got into paint and I had 2 separate times where I was incredibly excited. I got a Windsor Newton mini water color set, a mini water color sketch book, and 2 water brushes so I could travel and do water color. Then a few months later I was even more into painting so I broke down and got about 20 different colors of Windsor Newton acrylic paint tubes and a bunch of canvases and those are the times I’ve been the most excited about art I think.

Wow I’m early, I gotta say your videos are the best of the best in my opinion! Keep doing what you do ;D Ps: You encouraged me to try fountain pens and I absolutely love them!

Hey Pete. Love the reflections. Especially the point where you had to throw the drawing away, felt sad but realized that everything is temporary. That applies to so many things in life. Regarding $1500 pen, it’s definitely more expensive than its utility’s worth but as long as people are not addicted (to collect) it’s ok to have a *few* nice things that really spark joy in your life.

Is no one gonna talk about how good that last drawing is? It’s so fgging cool!

When I first starting getting *in* to art in a not-little-kid-way was when I started 6th grade, and they gave us these big black sketchbooks and I never had a *real* sketchbook before and was so excited and we decorated them and whatnot. I wonder how my art would have been had I used literally any other sketchbook because the paper in them was *TERRIBLE.* I know this now. You erased anything once and it shredded to bits. I was 11, of course I was erasing things constantly, learning, trying to get things juuuust right, and getting SO frustrated that my very medium was dissolving underneath me. Canson Mixed Media pads. They are cheap, they are clean, they take pencils, lots of erasing, ink, paint, even watercolor. Fucking love those things, they're almost all I use. Had I had one of those from the beginning.. man I don't know. Woulda saved me a lot of freaking heartache. But I'm still drawing with walmart mechanical pencils, and some of my favorite pens were literally from the dollar store. Sometimes expensive isn't better, but boy some things can be very, very cheap.

"My job is whatever I want to be" I love these little snippets

You're absolutely right about the encouragement. I have a number of college degrees, more than three, but for every single one of them I treated myself to a relatively nice pen. It was such an excitement that I would go to the lecture hall and take notes with that special pen dedicated to that specific University, and then I would solve problems on engineering paper using that special ink that became my signature and that special pen. And then for the next degree it was a new "good pen" for that curriculum. I continued during my after college years with pen for this and that "license exams" prep work etc. So most of my pens are dedicated to a cause and then retired after it was achieved.

You sir, have a very cool job!

I am cool with the $34.00 TWSBI I just bought. I got it in the cement color and inked it with Noodler's Harold's Hearse. I really love it. Got a medium nib. Because I have a son, I would rather put that in his college fund.

Fabulous pen, no doubt about it! Amazing drawings as always.

been a while since i've been here i really missed stuff good to be back

I dont know if its the pen or the mindset it put you in but I love the first painting. It gives me a feeling of a lovecraftian structure inside of some chamber thats been forgotten for aeons and if you were in its presence it would just capture your mind. Definetly one of my favourites of your drawings.

This man is a mind reader I do love when you have a pen

His art reminds me of the game Borderlands for some reason. I love it!

Those are impressive drawings dude!

I really like the last drawing!

Peter - a lot of talk about the pen, but your sketch is much more painterly than usual, you're expressing the ink much more, less straight linework than we've seen before, really lovely - might come from the warmth and connection of the pen, lets you get a little more lost into the work. bravo, enjoy -

I have a Namiki like the one he's using. I use it to take notes and write letters. I ordered it with a medium nib; should have chosen a fine nib, but water under the bridge, and it is the smoothest writing fountain pen I've ever written with, and I have well over 100 of them.

9:57 this has got to be, hands down, one of my all time favorite Peter quotes. 💜

Make an updated drawing tut. / tips wen? I love this style!

Peter is brilliant.

Not a pen, but masking fluid really helped me get creative with my ability to layer and remove paint with interesting precise lines.

woah i was subbed since around 10-50k and now you're above 900k? ridiculous!

This kinda happened to me too, when i got 5 copic brush markers as a gift, and i remember that color blending process being to satisfying, because i was used to bland with bullet nib markers. It was nice while those 5 markers lasted, but i can't afford the, so now i;m back to my old ones :P

A picture helps inspire me more than a new pen though I can't wait for my new pen to arrive

aww.... I missed Peter Draws. 2020 happened and I ended up on a very different side of the internet. I missed you PETER DRAWS and THE PENS!

I’m not familiar with the term ICBM so I had to google it. Your statement @ 2:53 now makes sense to me 😁

Peter is the perfect definition of an artist. Very good at what he does but odd enough to be intriguing

I'm not an artist, but having a pen I enjoy using does motivate me to take physical notes.

I really want this pen.

I love the first drawing the most, the pen is a work of art in itself.

Inks get me excited to draw without most of that pressure that you mentioned. I just grab whatever pens the nicer ones actually get less use because I'm nervous about putting iron gall or pigment inks in them.

For me and art supplies, it is about quality and not expense, though those are very often proportionate, especially paper and ink.

I just got this same pen I love it :3

I have the notifications on and its not giving me notifications your the only KZfaqr i want notifications from 😂

Those drawings are super cool

you did good with your setup ;)

For anyone wondering what the process is like: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNp7i6qT2KedZHk.html . It’s for headphones but it’s the same type of coating.

I use their ink that comes in a red box. It is my favorite ink bottle.

I have a namiki Urushi fountain pen, I saved to buy it and it’s stunning. And then I use my Twsbi Eco and put the namiki back safely in its box.

i like the pen reviews but even more dude I just love your art...its like a feral Moebius

Ah i haven’t watched one of your videos in over 2 years :( I love your art bro also like your new hair and style!! :)

Bro you are the best thing in youtubr

Otherwise, when feeling stuck artwise, I like to swatch colors and hopefully pick a simple color scheme, 2 to 3 colors tops, and then just go from there.

Drool drool I would love to have that pen. I love the feel of gold nibs. I'm right now using a Parker Duofold from the 1980s that I inherited for sketching figures from the Bodies in Motion website. They sell for like $500 new these days. Fountain pens aren't really designed for drawing with, they are definitely best for writing. No line variation. But somehow the bug has captured me recently and I keep buying more of them. Mostly vintage ones that I shouldn't take anywhere lest I lose them!

Cool drawings

very early to this. great way to start the day off

I love the real talk here. Everything is temporary and we don’t need expensive things to make art. The most I spend on art supplies is $25 per item. I would never spend $1500 on a pen. It looks very pretty though and I’m glad you enjoyed it.

That first drawing is absolutely insane.... may be one of me favorite drawings of yours. I think its because I'm a freak for mythology and that drawing sort of tastes like that.

Love this guy. His voice could calm aliens coming to end this nonsense

I have a tube of urushi and it cost me about 15$. It's the craftsmanship that costs (and the gold nib), not the tree sap

I love it when daddy Peter uses a fountain pen

I love the last sad looking face

i love those "face" art drawings!!!

The texture of paper and the way my pencil or pen feels and sounds on that paper. That is really the determining factor on what happens next.

For me, i like to have all kind of pens, brushes and pencils, cheap and fancy, and the same with paper. Lots of cheap paper, some good blocks and some top of the line, and i go through all of them depending the mood or task at hand or whatever. But the most relevant thing for my inspiration has nothing to do with materials but with the time of the day. From 12 midnight to 4 am i'm "in the zone". During the day i can do some studies, sketches etc and nothing that requires creativity and "magic".

I totally get why some people would want to spend a lot of money on fountain pens. I use Visconti and Montblanc for taking notes on a daily basis or just to scribble something during the break. Why? As you said, the nibs are just smoother on the paper, it definitely feels better which for me is very important. Or sometimes the materials are special, which also matter to me at least. I don’t understand why some hate on others because they use expensive pens. Each will spend their money on whatever they please. Thank you for the video!

O A O SO beautiful!

I really want a sweatshirt with your drawings on it

I agree with your conclusions. I've bought expensive writing utensils to help inspire and motivate me to draw more, but ultimately it doesn't work and puts pressure to perform on a higher level. I find I do the best work when the tools get out of the way and I don't even notice them. So a more comfortable pencil or pen with the right lead and ink is better than a pretty one or one of exotic materials. I don't want to be thinking about it rolling off the table, or getting scratched, or care if it does.
