The Infinite and Magical Possibilities of a Single Pen? Let's Take a Look with Peter Draws
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ย. 2020
- Sometimes it's good to just draw. If you've ever tried drawing or any kind of creative activity before, you probably realize that it's very easy to overthink what you're doing. Well, I'm a chronic overthinker anyways, and when this leaks into my art, I quickly find that I enjoy it much less. On the other hand, when I just sit down, close my eyes for a moment, breathe, and remember that I just want to draw because it's an activity I enjoy, it all turns out much better. Not only do I often end up being more pleased with the end result, but it puts me in a better mood, and it relaxes and unwinds me. The infinite and magical possibilities of a single pen are not just on the paper.

You can duplicate the sensation of running at night by running during the day with a blindfold on.
Probably the best advice I have ever heard.
That's an interesting comment. Last year I was taking a walk and got iT into my head to see how straight I could walk with my eyes closed. iF you were me trying to run with a blindfold you'd be in a front-end collision with a car in five seconds.
that is funny
He is hands down the best channel and I’m so excited about how close the 1 mill milestone is. You deserve it Peter
Omg I agree 100% hands and feet down best channel I watch!!!!!!😆
Why arent his videos monetized? :/ i hope hes earning money
It's a shame his views don't reflect his sub count :/
Yikes. No offense to him but either your bar is incredibly low or you have only seen maybe three other channels.
Same man. Almost 1mil subs!!!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Speaking as a musician, taking lessons is how people become great. There are definitely those people that are just naturally fantastic at whatever they pursue, whether it's out of passion or they just are good without trying, but taking lessons does not mean you won't or can't be great. In fact you have a much higher chance of becoming great. Also, leaving stuff at a fun hobby level is no crime and might be a much healthier way to approach something that isn't going to become your livelihood. Anyway, keep up the vibes, Peter, I love your videos :)
Well said!
I think this is the only channel I know of where the people in the comments section feel like part of the same family. Peter's extended family. So many regulars, so much love and support for other commenters and for Peter. The thread often brings me as much joy as the video itself, it's packed with wisdom for solving life's problems and genuine affection for Peter himself. I think it stands as evidence as to the nature of our guy and I think it's worth noticing and celebrating all this in a world that feels as divided as this one does currently. Thank you Peter for what you have created here 💗
Yes! My throat always hurts and gets weird when the air is (even mildly) cold and it makes running so much worse, but also I prefer to run in the cold, and it's just one of life's great challenges.
Dude you are Peter Draws not Peter Reviews. So draw on Peter draw on!!! Keep up the good work and don't sweat the little things.
Peter Draws to de-stress. White Dawg watches Peter draw to de-stress.
This 💯😂

I've been here since the beginning, i can't wait to see you hit a million!
Thanks!
I usually listen to your videos on my way to work. I have an hr drive and I like talking with.....I answer your questions like you are the passenger hahahahaha. You have some really good questions. Keep up the guitar lessons as long as you're having fun.
It's so weird, I was just thinking about you recently and about how you've been talking about your relationship with your videos lately, and I thought to myself "I wish he could feel comfortable just "drawing" again, just for the joy of it." XD And your very next video is this one, I hope you let yourself draw just for the joy of it more often... that's why we're all (most of us; the ones that matter XD) here in the first place. No need to always song and dance every time. We are here because we like the core of this channel... drawing and you. * *hug* *
Peter, I have had this experience. That's why I can't really run outdoors in the cold. However, with regard to side of the street, I have to go with the right side --- that's probably since I also bike. Finally, please wear reflective clothing if you're running at night!
Esophagus is the food tube, windpipe is the lungs, I'm a mouth breather as well. I like to use Biotene, keeps your spit from getting sticky! Running with a mask on is really hard to do unless it's a bit more loose weave. I also found out if I suck on a vitamin C drop right before I go out, for some reason it helps, I have no clue why.
I like just the drawing and talking without the "pressure" of fitting things in, it's more "organic" and more soothing 👍😁
You. Have. A. TV!?!!??! *GASP!!!!* lol 😅 As long as no one complains, you're fine! 🎵🎶
You're getting close to 1 million subs Peter! 😎 Thank you so much for this video, I like these the best, just my opinion of course 😃🙂
I share this opinion. So now it’s not just yours anymore. Better that way, I think.
@@CoenBijpost Indeed!
A channel like Peter's is rare and special. We love you Peter! 💕
Peter!! Your throat will start to hurt while breathing through your mouth because, unlike your nose which gives air you breathe in more moisture and time to warm up on the way to your lungs, the cold air can be drying which causes discomfort! I learned this in a waiting room to a doctor's office👌
Thank you for being an island of calm.
Hi peter your the Bomb you literally have helped my depression and gotten me back into art after like a year... you’re so genuine it’s amazing
Don't feel guilt. We are here for the Peter and the Draws.
The intro! Love that vibe to start! ❤️🇨🇦👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hey Peter! If you continue to run at night, you should get some reflective/night running gear so it’s easier for cars to see you ahead of time just as you see them ahead of time. Also, I’ve been running for years and have always had similar saliva type problems, best solution that I’ve had or heard from others is just to spit!
And drink
Hi Peter!
Just wanted to take a minute to acknowledge your positive influence in my life. I'm an American living in the southwest of France, which means at the moment, we're locked down for the pandemic, and I can't teach. I teach painting and drawing to adults in two small towns where I live. I recently bought a set of three Isograph pens, and a Waterman Chrome fountain pen. I used to use Rapidographs when I would do urban sketching back in San Francisco. Sadly, when I moved here 10 years ago, the Rapdiographs didn't make the trip with me... So, I'm happy to have these pens again, after such a long time, and I thank you for your inspiration!
I haven't started drawing with the fountain pen yet, since my hand feels like it wants to write a letter instead of a drawing, but I've had a stern discussion with my drawing hand, and we've agreed to slowly integrate the Waterman into my drawings. Hopefully we'll establish a peaceful resolution...
As always, thank you so much for sharing your life with us. Stay safe, and whatever you do, don't spit into the wind!!!
Jim in France
Thanks for the kind words, and good luck with those fountain pens, I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
I was always taught to walk on the side facing oncoming traffic and it upsets me when I see people doing it wrong 😕
Your voice is fine dude, so calming
Here since 200 views🥺🥺
I love your videos they give me life
Been here since the 2012 egg doodle and I'm loving the progress. Can't wait for 1M for you Peter! Definitely my favorite TH-camr artist!!
I've never been so hyped to see he's about to reach a mil subs. I feel like a father seeing their son graduate. Good luck homie
I tell everyone that you're my internet boyfriend and now I don't feel so alone. Okay bye
@@peter_draws the heart means its official nicole
@@peter_draws thank you for acknowledging me. ❤
T-T
Omg you two get a room already
How’s dan?
he’s chillin
How’s peter?
co-chillin
I walk down the side of the road that has the sun shining on it....
Love that
I thought you sounded excited in your last video not weird. Your videos and personality bring me happiness and peace.
The throat pain is caused by the cells in your throat becoming dehydrated. The air going into your lungs is automatically humidified by your cells and the dry, cold air dehydrates the cells quickly. I have this problem and did some cursory research a while back. Drinking frequently might help, there's some running mask kinda things that seem to work too.
Love your vids, stay groovy.
i love this channel so much; i just love unwinding and not thinking, just simply watching and listening
What I love and learn from your drawing videos is not get hyped up about the plan, the design of the big picture. Just draw, see what happens.
Havent even watched the video but nice video
Edit: im in middle school and do cross country and i have to agree that running at night is more fun and i enjoy it more
Thanks
YESSS!!!!!! Everytime I open youtube and see there is a new video from you, it brightens my whole day and I stop whatever I am doing to watch!! Total guilty pleasure this channel is :) I am slowly making my way through watching every single one of your videos! It will be a grand feat but toally worth it!
The mask will almost certainly solve your problem in colder weather, colder air doesn’t hold humidity and moisture as well. Thanks for all the videos Peter I get excited every time you upload; to see your awesome art and listen to your thought process
Omg thank you Peter. I needed something to take my mind off of the shit storm thats happening here in the US right now.
I have had a Peter Binge on in the background all week to help keep me calm.
I hope you're doing well! Love watching your videos right before I go to sleep. Helps slow down my thoughts. Thank ya for the video
I just got a glass pen for my birthday, and it's so cool, wouldn't have discovered them if it weren't for your video, thanks a bunch!
I loved having found your channel. I have learned so much from your videos. One of my latest works (which I have on my channel) was only possible because I discovered you and let myself be carried away by "doodles" (I mean they are not doodles but almost. It's an abstract scene). Thankful for the good mood and for the inspiration. Greetings from Portugal
Almost the 1 mill subs. Been here when you had like 50k, I feel you deserve this. Best channel on the internet and by far on TH-cam!
I love listening to your videos while I doodle, helps me relax in a way! I really like watching you progressively make a wonderful piece of art
These videos are one of the only places I can get true comfort these days. Just hearing Peter talk like a real, normal person while drawing is so soothing. Thanks for the great content, keep it up ❤️
I think that a drawing livestream would be in order because somehow Peter manages to keep the vibes even when he's not talking and just drawing. I could watch him draw in real time for hours while studying, telling myself that I only have the video in the background but actually having all my attention aimed at the video.
Love the intro. Haha
Your idea about the right or left side of the road makes so much sense! I run down the left side of the road for the same reason.
Love it already!
I love eating a sausage McMuffin while having the viscosity of saliva explained to me
Hah you’re welcome
@@peter_draws it really helped it slide down hahaha ... also while I have ur attention senpai I'll say thanks for the recommendation of the rendr pad and rotring iso's .... my art is coming in to its own now and like a lot of us here I'm genuinely thankful that you do what you do .
Love all your content Peter its so entertaining and keeps me focused for however long the video is 👍
Dude ive been watching you for 6 years thank you for the inspo and the help.
Sometimes you never know what’s coming in Peters videos, but somehow it’s just what you need
Your vision to the facts just awesome, I have been told to breathe in from my nose, and let it out from the mouth
That first one and a half minutes was only smiles. Cheers 👍
Today is my birthday, and my husband got me the Photon Gluon ink set from Colorverse. So cool! He saw it on your video with 10 pens, 10 inks, 10 drawings. We like ALL your vids. Thanks for being such an uplifting presence. 🙋❤️🙂
Happy Birthday!!!
@@peter_draws thanks!
I'm glad nothing about these ever gets political or serious. It is the best escape
Yes!
I fall asleep to your videos every night
Your art and the things you draw are so different from what i am used to and see, as well as what i myself draw, but it's made me realize that one can draw something without it being entirely clear what it is supposed to be, or without needing to lable it as something.
Great to have your normal voice back :D
I think your voice/audio is probably the biggest reason people come back to your channel. Sometimes I actively watch you draw, but most of the time I just listen and occasionally look at the progress in your drawing. So changing up your voice slightly probably has a bigger impact than if you'd really mess with the video colours or something. I like watching you draw, but I really like listening to your calming, uplifting voice. Have a great day Peter
Love you Peter!🤗 Thank you for uploading today, it's been very stressful 😪
i actually love your voice and your drawing and the way you think you give me so much positivity and inspiration ♡
I watch your videos while trying to sleep. Idk why but I love these videos.
Yay, guitar lessons! Now I’m learning what you do best, and you’re learning what I do best! Feels good! Guitar is the best!
You are amazing xx
Love your videos. Rock on!!
You can go down a serious rabbit hole of runner theory. I am not a runner BUT my dad is a triathlon participant/trainer and my occupation ends up dealing with a lot of runners. Correct breathing is this whole rabbit role of information and training yourself to breath and then the posture while running can affect things. Anyway ... I love a good old fashion draw with Peter draws video. It amazes me how little squiggles and lines turns into this abstract construction that I end up deciding for myself what it is.
Great as always
You're doing great, and you're wonderful!
Your voice is very calming btw, I like to watch your videos late at night when I go to bed bc it calms me down
I have a sound system with a subwoofer on my computer and I love that your voice is bass-y enough to come through the sub. If people don't like the bassiness of your voice it's pretty easy for them to change settings or even just the volume so I personally think you shouldn't stress about it, you can't please everyone. Also I love that you tell us you love us at the end of your videos, it's like getting off the phone with my brother or something, just so comfortable
you are legit the best person to ever live
Once again, we are entering a period of ‘house arrest’ in England - I’m delving into Peter’s back catalogue of YT videos... I need calmness.
Incredible art!
New tv? Dang peter moving up in the world👌😁
Loved the spit story. That was amazing.
Love the art
I'm on same boat with ya peter on picking up new hobbies while lockdown started. I recently pickedup digital art, re learning programing after not doing any for 3 years since school. Also been learning my mandolin a hour a day this month even though i missed two days. But still having fun. :)
It’s ok to miss some days, glad to hear you’re having fun!
That's awesome, this is a work of art😍
Guitar is all about practice. The muscle memory is what is important. There is a point you reach when you dont have to think about what your hands are doing, then it becomes fun, stick with it. Love ur channel
Idk why I watch this channel but I’m enjoying my time here
happy for you peter
Just wanted to say I love your videos, normally ill sit and draw while listening to you because your voice is so memorizing!! It's calming really! I would listen to any book if you read it for audible or something lol!! Keep up the amazing work!!
so enjoyable!! love the drawing
I watched an old video of yours and now I'm checking out more of the stuff you do and I feel like you're getting younger and time goes on
Its so cool that your passion for art is intense
Couldn't agree more about which side to walk down the road. Gives me the fear when I witness it
Thanks man, I really needed that laugh just now☺️
It's going to be okay ...almost till 1 million I'm happy u are the best
these videos help me to not dissociate i love it here
luv you man, keep it up
This was so satisfying to watch, I could not look away! Now I have to doodle xD
You have no idea how happy I am that you are also peeved about people walking on the wrong side of the road.
that intro was bloody EPIC
Peter you are my hero
Yo, Pete.
Miss ya, man!
Was in the hospital (NOT covid), and went through/am going through some wild health stuff....so I've missed so much!
Glad to be back, getting stronger, and enjoying YOUR vids!
*raises a glass of filtered water*
CHEERS, my man!
Hey Peter, glad you’re doing well glad to hear you’re doing guitar lessons again. I’ve had lessons and I know that I am better when I have someone I am accountable to I think that is true for most anyone learning anything. We think you’re great and we’re glad you’re doing well hang in there and please take care of yourself and have a great day.
Yes! The week-to-week accountability is key
I've been doodling around much like you and picked up a line of Rotring pens and I'm smitten with the .30. Finding paper that doesn't feather the micro thin lines is so hard though. The higher-end Strathmore has been my best find so far. This is the best stress relief ever. Just throw on some Legendary Pink Dots and just.. draw.
I'm left-handed, and I always thought that would make using fountain pens really hard for me (because, like many lefties, I push the pen more than I pull it when writing and drawing). I was always curious to try them because I think they look great, but the idea of buying a pricier-than-normal pen and special ink when I might not even be able to practically use them put me off. On a recent video, you mentioned that the Kaweco Sport comes packaged with a cartridge, and I was like "oh, duh, of course some pens would come with ink cartridges." That cut it down to just one impulse purchase that might be a waste for me, so I was willing to go ahead and pick up a Kaweco Sport to see if it worked for me. Turns out I was worrying over nothing, I can write fine with it and the feel of writing with it is really good. So thanks for leading me to that realization.
As that’s great! Glad you got it all figured out
your intros are awesome!!
Peter is like an award winning supporting actor, like that cool character in a good movie you wanna see more of. And here we are getting all this content🙌 bless you sir draw a lot
HI! I've never been so early, liked this one sm
Edit. I play your vids as I draw so i feel like we're drawing together, so calm.
I can’t believe you’re almost at 1 million subscribers. I remember when we were still a small community, but I’m so happy you’re growing and more people are seeing the weirdness.
