This time your doodle starts total different. With the outlines at first and not with small inner to the outside. It is amazing to watch. It's amazing.
Go for it Peter! Make friends with them! It’s a great thing to make community! (: I understand the lingering feeling of the money transaction effects, but everyone has a job! In this society with raising prices, we need to work. But also, we need community and support! I encourage you to talk to them for sure
I used to go to a place for morning coffee/writing time. I made friends with one of the waitresses. Over the course of several years we developed a really great and precious friendship. After my Mom passed, she became like a second "mom". We remained friends until covid took her. I love your doodles and seeing it done in graphite really thrills me as it;s my favorite medium. Hope you have a great week!
Thank you for the incredible art and watching gives me lots of tips. You give tips but observing helps. I wish I could afford a fountain pen. I mean I could but I have twin 3.5 year old boys so I can't justify spending the 40$ or whatever on a Lamy safari as I would want the pen set with the cartridges and the power piston. Probably use the cartridges until I was comfortable then move onto the piston and better ink. Anyways I draw just about everyday. Sometimes something new, or just techniques, sometimes on something I've been drawing for a while but needed to figure out how to approach a certain section of the page.
Your pencil drawings are on par with everything else you do, stunning. On a side note I can't stop thinking about something you said in your Q&A how we are meat grinders. We really are sentient sausages that make more sausages or things that reflect everything we are connected to. I think I can speak for a lot of people here saying the sausages we put out into the world are so much better because of you, your channel and the beautiful things you create. ❤
As someone that's worked at a coffee shop before, I can say that your interactions could entirely be genuine, and not to worry about the transactional nature. I befriended a comic book artist actually once, and we got drinks a few times outside of the coffee shop as friends, and I think fondly on that experience because I would have never met half as many interesting people had I never worked there.
Peter! Glad to see you! So happy to celebrate Stretchmarks Day. In fact, I can also celebrate Caramel Chocolate Day since I have both Caramel Chocolate AND stretch marks!
This is in my opinion my favourite I've seen you made. I liked the arm and especially the head. Gives me a bit of Donald Duck mixed with Darth Vader vibe. I would frame this and have it on the wall. Looks so cool and so many details. Love all the shading and highlights! I really appreciate your pencil drawings and you make your drawings look so good too!
Just amazing the shading technique and the way your art starts transforming into something out of this world. Your art is almost outerspace and galaxy ✨️
Hey Peter, I’ve watched your videos about 5 years now and started using technical pens because of u, first off I want to confirm that yes fountain pen ink does work way better in them but second off staedler makes a much better pen than rotring and the pen body is actually a built in tool to take itself apart so u can clean it and the pen body is built way more durable than a rotring and u most likely will never have any dry rot or splitting or damage of any kind occur over time or with use
Hello Peter, Yes I know what you mean. I have a "friend" that drives me around. We have good conversations and I wonder too that how it would be if I wasn't paying him. BTW You still inspire me with no just your art but your conversations. I miss doing artwork lately because I've been sick for the last few months. "old age" creeping up faster every year LOL. Thanks for your videos. Your fan always. Old Lady 2020
I'm very chatty, and so I end up having long, involved conversations with a lot of people around me. There's a gas station that I stop at several times a week, and I know a good chunk of the life stories of the people working there. It's actually never occurred to me to wonder if they're friends, or not friends, or if we would be friends if we ran into each other elsewhere. Interesting thought! Really beautiful pencil sketch, Peter.
1. Dang I wish I could draw so confidently with my hand in the air like that. Bye- bye, smudges! 2. Try just one sentence extra after you pay for your coffee. Then maybe two. 3. Greetings from sunny San Francisco, California.
I wouldn't put much thought into the whole coffee dilemma, the nuggets of friendship... Because then you'll get to questions like: "Would this person even be talking to me in the first place if I WASN'T a customer?" and other dumb sh¡† like that... If you want to talk, just talk. If you don't, then go. Having "routine friends" is a perfectly normal occurrence that just happens, and if you're interactions are positive, can also help make someone else's day feel more complete or in some cases, off if they didn't see you. Some become so accustomed, or bonded to your interactions, that a form of concern develops if that routine is broken. Not just because their own day is thrown off, but because of the unknown of what caused your lack of presence... Like "That's weird, I haven't seen Peter in a while, I hope he's alright..." But yeah... Don't think about it too much. Just enjoy the nuggets for what they are, or become, however long they last.
Hi Peter I've been watching for a long time since you started reviewing fountain pens and just wanted to say it's crazy to see the progress you've made in life, with the channel and your art. Keep growing and keep up the great work
Having worked in retail, it's fun to have favorite customers. The people that tip good (where tips are a thing) have an advantage. But other than the tip, you're not paying THEM, you're paying the business. You don't have to commit to anything by extending the casual chat beyond the purchase of your coffee.
Hi Peter, thanks, as always, for your great drawings! Re the coffee cart, I think as long as you're paying for your coffee, it's transactional and a tip is appropriate because if the barista's employed, they still need the income. If you think there's a possibility of friendship, I reckon it only really becomes friendship when you and they feel comfortable to meet up in a different context, maybe both having coffee somewhere else, or going to a museum, a walk in the park... All best wishes to you.
Chocolate and caramel = heaven. I have worked in Coffee stall and food place which served coffee it's nice to make conversation but being introvert can be difficult for me. I had customer called me rude because I was mostly quiet. I'm not the one for small talk. I rarely drink coffee but mainly tea. I love drawing with pencils because you can easily achieve wide range of shades. I have these water colour graphite pencils by faber castelle and yet to try them out fully.
I've been working on a big pencil piece lately. With my Faber-Castell Matte pencils. I say they have ~60-70% less of that annoying shine that graphite has. Definitely recommend. I think they go all the way to a 12B.
I can see how that small relationship could feel tainted by the aspect of it being transactional. I would say that maybe casually bringing up the fact that it feels weird tipping a friend could give you more insight into their feelings about the interaction. Ultimately I would say that it's probably safe to assume that they aren't thinking about how the intersection is transactional and they are probably just happy to have a nice regular that they get to share ideas, feelings, experiences, ect with! Hope it goes well!
I would be concerned with them thinking I’m bringing it up because I don’t want to have to tip them all the time. Then even if you explain that that’s not the case they might think ‘yeah, sure buddy’ The real solution is to not overthink social interactions lol
I really like your pencil art, as good as the ink ones in my opinion! The depth and the smooth transitions in the shades suits your abstract style. These pens don't seem to leave a shine at all =o or maybe its the camera...
This one reminds me of some of that AI art that's been doing the rounds. You know where it looks like it's something but you don't know what. It's always kinda dark and gloomy, apocalyptic even.
When I used to write music with a pen we used a bit of something called photo flo. This seemed to keep the pen working and not plugged up. I saw photo flo in a store here in Italy recently, so it seems that it is still available. Worth a try as most of us are always looking for permanent ink from a fountain pen.
i had a dream the other night that you were in a bookstore i was at talking to the guy behind the counter, and i got really excited for the chance to say hi to you in person, but my painful awkwardness was so awkward that i couldn't say anything and i just ran away. the only weird part about it is, i never have such normal dreams, usually my dreams are a trippy, constantly changing landscape of weird things i can't put words to later when i wake up. silly.
As adults, making new friends can be challenging... I would see what his reaction would be like if asked to make bigger servings and go from there, lol
Hullo Peter, Yep friendship after a certain age is terribly difficult to manage! I offer this small insight, If you want something outside of the casual acquaintance relationship and believe it may be something or have potential for something more. Steer a conversation towards something that has been a common theme in the past or recent and see if that perhaps they would like to go do that activity like visiting a museum or see that new movie you talked about. I have had marginal success and was able to codify certain associations with potential friends and developed into more or devolve back to a casual interaction that both can still enjoy. It does take that risk of failure and awkwardness to future interactions, but if you do not try you will never know and be just a bit more lonely, well perhaps not! I so enjoy your channel and believe that anyone would have their lives enriched with you in theirs. Be well and stay safe out there!
I’m not sure what ppl do nowadays but the next step used to be getting a phone number. If things get awkward, you could always brew your own. Good luck 🍀
Ah-Ha! Kitchen chromatography using filter paper and ink, looking at how dyes and and pigments disperse given the the relative size of the pigment particles and dye molecules. I haven't done that sort of experiment in over fifty years. Great pencil work as well.
not sure how I feel, I think the pencil drawings for me are marginally better then the ink drawings. But I might be biased since I also like draw with ink and sketch with pencil and I like the way pencil feels better (more values). On a side note, when I bought my coffee from the same place every day I would sit on the side and drink it there and talk to the barristers in-between customers. They would gossip about each other to me as well as have general chats. We did end up being friends.
Making friends as an adult, man. It’s a challenge! Mostly because we’re overthinking it (I’m speaking for my introverted self) Anyway, Happy National Stretch-mark Day everybody?🎉
Thanks for sharing a part of your life! I think when both of you are enjoying the conversation why break it just because the business transaction is over and you got your coffee? If it would make them uncomfortable I am sure you would pick up on that.
😎 Hey there, Peter! Hee's a little suggestion for your College Coffee Baristas? I would maybe share this video with them and let them know that you spoke so fondly of them to your TH-cam Peter Draws fanbase? I was wishing even for a small cup of coffee as you spoke - knowing that even the smell of it is just so pleasing? Just a thought to perhaps aid you in the furtherance of making a somewhat more acquaintance into some real friendship(s)? ~sweet drawing tooz fella~
If you want to discover whether this person is only being friendly for transactional purposes, bring a thermos of coffee next time and sit down by his/her coffee cart and try striking up a conversation while drinking from your thermos. His reaction will tell all.
This time your doodle starts total different. With the outlines at first and not with small inner to the outside. It is amazing to watch. It's amazing.
Yeah it is different you’re right!
Go for it Peter! Make friends with them! It’s a great thing to make community! (:

Wow thank you
You're the man pete I relate to you on the customer /friend dilemma. Wish making friends irl was as easy as it was in the kindergarten
It's a wonderful day! Peter posted a video! ❤
Hey Peter, I’ve watched your videos about 5 years now and started using technical pens because of u, first off I want to confirm that yes fountain pen ink does work way better in them but second off staedler makes a much better pen than rotring and the pen body is actually a built in tool to take itself apart so u can clean it and the pen body is built way more durable than a rotring and u most likely will never have any dry rot or splitting or damage of any kind occur over time or with use

I've been using your latest pen, it's very nice! I got no 70 of 100 in the gold version

1. Dang I wish I could draw so confidently with my hand in the air like that. Bye- bye, smudges!
2. Try just one sentence extra after you pay for your coffee. Then maybe two.

One of my favorite drawings you've ever done!!!
Thank you!
Hi Peter I've been watching for a long time since you started reviewing fountain pens and just wanted to say it's crazy to see the progress you've made in life, with the channel and your art. Keep growing and keep up the great work
Even if I never saw you before I'd take one look at your hair and think you were an artist.

But other than the tip, you're not paying THEM, you're paying the business. You don't have to commit to anything by extending the casual chat beyond the purchase of your coffee.
I kinda liked the arm thing. I saw the same thing you did, but I liked it.

You're lookin' good, man! I'm glad to still see ya' around c:
That person that advised to put fountain pen ink in the rotring, saved me from a pen crisis. I just cleaned all my pens and put noodlers
Drawing looks great. Convenience usually costs more.
I really like your pencil art, as good as the ink ones in my opinion! The depth and the smooth transitions in the shades suits your abstract style. These pens don't seem to leave a shine at all =o or maybe its the camera...

I'm so glad tipping isn't a thing here in Australia.
It’s definitely an odd and sometimes confusing thing
FIRST COMMENT? ANNYWAYS… PETER DRAWS, THATS ALL I NEED TO KNOW.
the people on the coffee cart sound like coffee-workers (like a beverage based version of sex-workers)
Peter, hi.
Hi
Pencil.
HEY
HELLO
Giant croissant.
You look like Einstein
Peter you sound like me... Extremely lonely and longing for friendship or companionship

If you want to discover whether this person is only being friendly for transactional purposes, bring a thermos of coffee next time and sit down by his/her coffee cart and try striking up a conversation while drinking from your thermos. His reaction will tell all.
That would be rude even if the person likes you.
