2025 feels...really difficult right now. Was feeling really cold and self destructive today. Tore up a drawing I was working on. Stared out the window, then moved to the couch. But saw on the coffee table for some reason have some postit note sized rainbow scratch art paper. Somehow really worked for me. Did some scallops that looked like fungal gills and moss gametophytes. Did another that looked like lichens. Did one that looked like not really anything but it was fun to discover that I could make interesting shapes with the fat end of the scratching stick. Feeling burnt out on everything else but this is working for me right now. Feels like going back to roots when I was just making outsider art instead of trying to make something look like something for something or someone other than myself. Understood your archaeology metaphor. Sending good vibes to your back.
Absolutely love the intro, I haven't played with things like that in a LOOOOONG time! That was so enjoyable and I had a big doofy grin on my face the whole time. Thank you from the bottom of my childhood heart for that! 😄 The last drawing is exactly how that cold feels. And I send you all kinds of healing vibes to your lower back, good luck and hopefully you're feeling better once you read this.
Hullo Peter, I just wanted to say I enjoy every aspect of your videos! You create fun content! I feel that pencils are the most used first medium we all start with and the one we make the most difficult strides forward with too! I think this is why we move on to other mediums. We try to “make” something and we find it lacking that certain something so we try inks, paints, I discovered watercolors! I believe that it changed my life. I was so lucky that my Gran was able to teach me (my cousins and even an Aunt, 2 uncles too) the basics and she imparted the love of watercolor painting to so many of us. I will say that I have been enamored with your drawings and the style of your drawings for so many years now and I have been excited to see you branch out and make art in other mediums! I hope that you never stop working in ink! Now that said I did give up on watercolor for about 15 years because I simply couldn’t do traditional (paper & paints) while learning how to create on the computer! I am so much happier now that I have gotten to go back to traditional methods and techniques that I have known since I was sitting out on the picnic benches my Grandfather had built for all of us “kids” to participate in Gran’s classes during summer break! I was 10 years old when I first sat down and at 63 I am still discovering the Joy of watercolor painting! Thank you for sharing your art and life journey’s with us. Wishing you health and healing now and during this new year!
Ive watched your drawings evolve over the years and you really have something special. Your art is unique and its really cool watching these come together with your commentary. Love your channel.
5:46 I think the thing about pencils you're feeling has to do with their fact that you're using them like you would a pen. What I mean by that is the style of drawing free form and with intermittent intensity... pens are permanent, while graphite is not. Pencil gives the benefit of sketching, layering, experimenting and THEN adding permanence. My suggestion would be to experiment with composition first and then going to town with linework, although harsh linework in graphite often looks like lithographs to me. I hope this is some good food for thought 😅
This feels like the year of double vision - we can't be blind to the problems and injustices of the world, but if we don't protect our peace in some way, we'll all go crazy.
Sending good vibes to your lower back and wishing you a Happy New Year 🎊 Per your question: giving where and when I can and leaning heavy on my Guides ✌🏼🖖🏼🧚♂️✨
The future feels pretty good. The present feels like a huge mess though. Like big shifts are happening, and that is long term good, but short term complicated. And in my own life just trying to not watch much of the world besides hiking in nature, I ignore the news, and just do what feels like I should do, after procrastinating on it for a while.
The best thing you can do is to keep moving as much as you can. Hot baths and ibuprofen along with some muscle rub (deep heat or similar). Vibes to 🅱️eter’s back.
D.O.T.S - Don't Overthink Sh*t. That's sage advice from Kenny Beats; who is a dooope music producer (find him on YT, if you aren't familiar). Also, sending warm infrared vibes at your back. I hope you feel better soon!
You probably get strange vibes back from asking people about the future because they are probably busy asking A.I. the same thing. I have still yet to ask it a question beyond experimenting with some art prompts a couple of years ago. That's where I stopped. It's not a genuine future.
What am I watching? LOL toy's grabbing things. I'm not liking 2025 so far. I'm trying to make the best of it and lie that life is good but you're not the only one (even Kalle Flodin is picking up on stuff th-cam.com/video/_CMUnxW_bRo/w-d-xo.html ). Wonderful pencil sketch's! I've used mechanical pencils my whole life and you got me into the inks so I could try the 10B! O.O maybe >.< I'm excited to do ALL KINDS of art challenges this year! And I think 10B, a portrait, and my stories should all be a part of it. YES join PeterDraw's in drawing! Ow, poor Peter's back. Just do Ibuprofen "muscle Tylenol" I call it. And my friend is always telling me to use a giant tennis ball and you roll your back on that like a massager. It helps. Keep on being cool Peter!
i am also cautiously optimistic about 2025. personally i’m in a really good place, probably the best i’ve ever been, but what’s going on in the world at large feels scary and overwhelming. there isn’t much i can do about the overall state of things but i CAN take care of myself and the people around me, so im trying to focus on that instead of letting the feeling of complete helplessness take over. also i’ve found that alternating heat and an ice pack is the most effective for me when my back hurts. hope you get relief soon, back pain is the worst.
John 16:33 [33]These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Psalms 55:22 [22]Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 1 Peter 5:7 [7]Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Matthew 11:28-30 [28]Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Hey Peter Happy New Year
Love how foresty the second drawing turned out
the second drawing reminds a bit of the album cover for Ganglion Reed by Wand
The year of having a stronger lower back! ~❤~
The future feels pretty good. The present feels like a huge mess though. Like big shifts are happening, and that is long term good, but short term complicated.
And in my own life just trying to not watch much of the world besides hiking in nature, I ignore the news, and just do what feels like I should do, after procrastinating on it for a while.
HNY Peter 🎉
You too!
Brr beeg mmhmlj woop wooq.. me too Peter, me too 12:08
All that work to get the pencil. when you could have just used that flying carpet you just walked over twice.
Yay! Listen to Burritos by Sublime 😂
@1:50 Speaking of, what happened to Dan your friend who lives in your fridge?
New Peter Draws video produced by my nephew!
The best thing you can do is to keep moving as much as you can. Hot baths and ibuprofen along with some muscle rub (deep heat or similar). Vibes to 🅱️eter’s back.
That went too quick. Need longer vids.
Ok next one will not be sped up
Yo!!!!!

Weed is more effective then an ice pack buddy
Please let me commission a portrait of me and my dog as a centaur.
