    been a while, you're probably my favorite Peter out there. it's nice how sometimes people anchor each other, going away and changing, and coming back and seeing how you've changed by how you react to someone else, you are a friendly face in these seas.

    Your videos are part of my life for almost a decade now, my heart skipped a beat when you started to sound demotivated. I don't think you have lost your mojo, but your ship has definitely been changing throughout these years and I think that is important and beautiful in itself. Enjoy your holidays!

    I love your videos, Peter! It sucks how YT is changing, and losing subs is not a reflection on you or your work AT ALL. It's just how YT and the advertising market is evolving, and I really hope that it continues to be rewarding and sustainable for you to keep making videos because we do love them.

    That squirrel was definitely right. It will be OK... mostly. You're a great artist and seem to be a good person, Peter. I've been making a living as an artist, designer and printer for 30 years and have been watching your videos for several years now. They inspire me to create for myself and draw for fun instead for work. It doesn't mean you can't have fun making a living creating art. Just be careful to maintain a balance between personal projects and work projects. I am not one to give advice, but I can say this... take your breaks... often! When you start creating for work, pretty soon the passion projects and making time for creating art for yourself gets fewer and farther between. One day you can't remember the last time you sketched in your sketchbook.. Don't feel obligated to create content for the sake of maintaining a subscriber count. It is you and your honesty that will keep your audience growing... not just the drawings. As an artist, I watch to be reminded why I fell in love with art to begin with and know that it would be impossible for me to keep my art entertaining enough for the world to see on a weekly basis. Keep doing what you do... even if the videos take longer to make, I am here for it.

    Peter, I've been watching you for the last 8 years. Throughout those years I've experienced a lot of change but one thing that remains is the joy and calm I feel when I tune in to one of your videos and hear you talk about something, anything at all. Its weird that I feel I know you so well and yet not at all. Anyways, you are a light in the darkness and keep being you. Cheers.

    I love watching your videos, and I never miss one if I can help it. I know it's a large camp of us. You've got the best kind of vibe and demeanor, your drawings and style are so unique and interesting to look at and watch you create (and I've been enjoying your piano videos and things too). I hope you don't get too discouraged by any negative trends, they're usually temporary (and while viewers can lose interest or subscribe/unsubscribe without ever becoming regulars, there's also just YT shutting down bot accounts etc). I know it doesn't do much good to say, but try not to worry

    I love your content and have been watching it for years. You have inspired me to continue along my own art journey. One of my favorites pieces of advice you have given was about working with ink which then means you must work with mistakes. I can’t quote exactly what you said, but that was the idea and it brought me back to creating which I am ever grateful for. We all need a break at times and I hope you really enjoy your time in Italy! How exciting that would be! 🙂

    Hey guy, I’ve been watching (on and off) for like 10 years or something. When I am in a slump artistically, your channel is one of the places I always come back to. It’s like a Peter Draws pilgrimage, watching a few favorite videos from way back when and catching up on what you are doing now. Thanks for being you! P.S. have you ever looked at mechanical plans? On large commercial buildings the ductwork plans can look pretty cool.

  • @mjpete27
    @mjpete27 5 місяців тому +1

    Hullo Peter, I have enjoyed watching your videos for quite some time now. I am hopeful that you will continue to create your drawings and ideas with us. I believe that we all are in motion either advancing or falling behind, depending upon how we feel and if we are doing well or poorly. I have every belief that you have NOT lost any “mojo” and it the the constant restructuring of UA-cam and their desire to squeeze every dime out of creators and pay less for it! This leads to people leaving the platform. Creators as well as viewers! I was so sure that when you topped 900k 1 million subscribers was just around the corner! Yet you have hovered around this point for a while now. I believe that if you wanted it more you could make it happen, yet I have never been convinced that it really matters to you. I feel that you are happy as long as you are paying your bills and creating videos that bring joy into your life and ours too! Thank you for sharing this attitude with everyone, you Sir are a genuine person who is truly inspiring and wonderful to watch. I will join the chorus wishing you a wonderful trip and vacation in Italy! Stay safe and be careful over there!

    So happy to hear you're taking some time to travel and recharge yourself! As a working professional in the animation industry, I can also attest to the need to take a break from creating art day in and day out in order to make a living, no matter how difficult or impossible it may feel to take that time to yourself. It's important to take some downtime purely to help balance yourself out from time to time so that you can continue making your best work. So I am happy to hear you recognizing that fact and actually doing something about it🙌
    Enjoy your trip to Italy and I hope that when you are off exploring the world, you feel like you've put your personal batteries on the charger so to speak
    Best regards, and much love to you, Peter! Never stop being you m'dude :-)

    I wanted to ask, if you recall, what pen + nib did you use for this? I've gotten a bit into fountain pens and I really like the way that one lays the lines down.
    Loved the drawing, love the videos, I hope you keep making them and don't get too burned out.

    also THANK YOU for not putting music in your videos it is so much more relaxing lol
    something else that might help your videos (if that's what you really wanna worry about right now) is titling them differently! for example this one could be titled "I think its all gonna be ok. (DRAWING)" and maybe that would get more people to watch? a lot of youtube has to do with the title and thumbnail, most of the time just the title or text in the thumbnail :')

    Peter I am new to your channel, but I've been an artist and teacher for about 20 years, and all I can tell you is that no matter how much you love something, you have to take a break from it now and then. It's good for the brain. If you keep using the same muscles over and over, they get tired and damaged. The brain muscle is the same. Your trip to Italy will help you see things differently and your mojo will still be here when you come back - and so will we! You are an awesome individual. I've watched your oldest and newest vids and am intrigued by your progress as an artist, and how you express yourself. Love you. OK. Goodbye for now, see you soon. Have fun. Ciao ❤ ps. your fat squirrel is probably a reminder to find your own balance 😉
