No one could write my impression as you do, Niki. Thank you :)
I'm not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I've fallen in love with pens and the idea of being an artist thanks to your channel. I love the stuff you put out and just wanted to say thanks
@@Dawn24Michele Not the original comment but your words have motivated me to make art, so much more than platitudes of you're talented so you can do it. Thank you :)
@@divine5328 Apparently they are people who are earning a living on the weekends (the ones selling pens), and people(buying pens) who spend their hard EARNED living on something they enjoy.
My first pens were Twisbi and LAMY Safari which I learned about from Peter’s reviews a few years ago. I was an experienced pencil artist, but got turned on to the idea of pen and ink drawing. I’ve never looked back.
I've never written with a fountain pen, never even thought about it, but was still captivated enough to watch this entire video. I want one now. Great, a new obsession. Thanks a lot.
You will love it. It is Zen like. There is a strong connection between writing and your brain and thought processes, and writing with a smooth fountain pen elevates it to joy.
Relatable 100% +400% + another 600% Oh no another one of those comments Am I right lol Anyone remember these? Eh? No? Seriously these used to be everywhere Ok I'll have mercy this time =P
The Muji rubber spot is intended for a sticker. Some Muji fountain pens come with dot stickers. I marked my Muji pen with a white dot sticker (not from Muji) that I colored in using the ink color I’m using. Easier to recognize especially if you have a few Muji fountain pens with different ink colors.
"... enthusiast level fountain pens.. you'll know when you get there" 😂 Idk what about this video that gives off a calming effect on me. The way he talks, the little awkward pauses 😁
Peter Draws is probably one of the 3 or 4 people who does sponsor ads in a way that I can truly enjoy to experience and not immediately roll my eyes and skip through. That, and his sponsors are actually good sponsors. 😋
Peter I have three Lamy Safari fountain pens with broad nibs and I use Lamy ink. No problems with their writing or ink flow. Cost $55 Australian. Only problems were that two of the caps became loose after a few years and had to be replaced. The pen with a cartridge lasts about one week with a lot of writing and I use it when travelling-quick and easy to change ,no leaks and more compact than carrying a bottle. Lamy Safari are excellent pens. Bob Major Adelaide South Australia
TWSBI's name stands for the phrase "Hall of Three Cultures" or "San Wen Tong" in Chinese. The character "Wen" translates into language and culture. The phrase "San Wen Tong" also brings to mind the Hall of the Three Rare Treasures created by Emperor Qianlong as a memorial to three great masterpieces of Chinese calligraphy. The initials of the phrase "San Wen Tong" was reversed and thus turned into "TWS". The last letters "Bi" was added with its literal meaning of "writing instruments". Thus combining the two segments, creating TWSBI. -from their website,
Peter: I can give you a top five potato. Me: Say Yucon gold Peter: Idaho Potato, some other potato. Me: Say Yucon gold Peter: Yucon gold Me: ahhhh yes, it's all coming together
If you’re using Carbon ink you need to give your pens a good wash more often as it is pigment not dye based. I like Schmidt nibs, like the one on Muji Pen. They’re underrated.
Amazing video very real and very true. I like that he does not show off his things he simply wants to show you what he thinks based on his experience using these pens. I really like the way his videos don't have music and you can really hear him. He seems to be like a god of pens from another time which to me is very interesting in times when videos on UA-cam are not all good, this one stands out from the rest.
Peter stop being so dang cute! I can't afford all these pens I keep buying because you look at me with those dreamy eyes and saying "Ooooh I like that. It feels good."
Small correction: Noodler's Black is water based but is in fact also water resistant and 'bulletproof' as the brand calls it. Immune to bleach, alcohol and UV and such I believe.
Waterman's 55! You LUCKY, LUCKY Dawg! There is nothing like the nib and feed union on a 1920's Waterman's. It is my favorite in my fountain pen stable, and even amongst my vintage pens. It's so good I compare every other new vintage acquisition to it, and found them all wanting. It's my everyday carry, everyday writer. I will never regret purchasing this pen. (If you ever get tired of yours, send me a message.)
You nailed exactly what I love about the little Kaweco fountain pens and my TWSBI. Lamy is great too! I own two and they're incredibly smooth and reliable. I've heard the Faber Castell ones are great! I got an aluminum one with an extrafine nib as a gift and it writes such thin lines, it's awesome.
The Waterman's 55 is the greatest pen ever made. I have three and they're all so very different. Absolute genius design, made incredibly well by both humans and machines from durable materials, with incredible performance and ergonomics and practicality and elegance, logic and soul. And best of all, they're from the late teens and twenties - I'm immediately transported to the time... You're holding one hundred year old memories in your hand, in one perfect little personal device, and keeping it going, to tell even more stories... Forever...
I had a Waterman in high school. I'd come across several vintage, yet still in great shape lever fill pens in the barn, and I think that the Waterman was my favourite. Sadly, that was almost 40 years ago (I graduated in 1985), and they were lost during several moves.
Wow this is nice! I really want to try these pens out :) I recently tried out copic markers. Have you ever tried drawing with them Peter? I posted a video about it so feel free to take a look if you need some inspiration :)
Your channel reminds me of the taste of perfectly popped popcorn.... Left in the microwave a little longer. Just enough so that it's a little smokey but not burnt. And then eating the whole bag by yourself. I know very specific, but I'm currently enjoying that experience and I feel great.😂
I recommend the sailor fude de mannen...about $9 on Amazon (needs an $8 piston converter) but has an AMAZING thin-thick line that’s based on angle, not pressure. Try it!
The “oil” they give you with the TWSBI ECO is silicon. Plus...you honestly have the most beautiful script handwriting I have ever seen. It takes an artist to do that...so it fits. I have the orange Opus 88 (my favorite pen of many fine ones) and never would have thought to stick a parallel nib on it. What an amazing testimony to its feed that it can keep up with the flow demand that nib puts on it.
Peter is my go to man on all things pen and ink with good reason, experience combined with great humor. Thanks for sharing your smarts once more, and now I’m looking for something equally entertaining on top inks, specifically purple and turquoise blues. Not likely that’s as popular a thing, but you’ve got to have a dream! I’m already looking at an endlessly glowing lap from Noodlers bulletproof ghost ink USPS delivered which gooshed from a badly damaged cap and thinking this brand seems solid and lasting so far. Holds up to knit t-shirt fabric well. I also purchased a bottle of carbon ink for doodling around and watercolor works, but I really want a rich beautiful royal purple and a Caribbean blue that would make your eyes blush with envy.
Your coment about having one of your fountain pens blocked for almost 2 years because of the indian ink gave me the strenght to unlock a caran d'ache i had in the same state because of the same exact reason. Many many thanks.
I have 2 pens in my pocket today A Pilot Metropolitan with the cm stub nib and the Duke Charlie Chaplin fountain pen. The Metropolitan was my first fountain pen. The Duke is my favourite daily carry. Big and kinda ugly but writes really well. Oh, and I also have a really beautiful Conway Stewart 84 fountain pen with a 14k gold nib. Green and black celluloid with cracked ice finish. My most treasured pen. I love your videos, please keep them coming if possible please On my desk I have a 1950s Waterman's 55 like yours with a gold semi flex nib, and a Mentmore in braided rubber also from the 1950s. I like Pilot Blue-black ink in the 70ml special bottle. My favourite ink is Seitz kreuznach Palm green ink.
Watched this video before I owned a fountain pen (and subsequently bought the Muji) and I’m watching it again because I love it and now have two pens! I promised myself I wouldn’t start collecting, but now that I have two, I find myself pining for the Opus 88.
My Lami Allstar works perfectly well, no matter how long it lays down chillin' . I love it. But I certainly want to look into that see trough pen of yours.
The muji was my first fountain pen and I love it. Your little spill about square space was pretty good. And I have to say that it's so nice to see a young man so easily satisfied there is a very lucky young lady out there..I smile every time you say how satisfying something is..great video as always..very satisfying
TWSBI has a cool filling system using a unique ink pot. The ink pot has a metal cap and underneath that is docking tube to siphon up the ink when you dock their pen to the tube.
I got into fountain pens at a pretty early age. I bought my first fp back in 6th grade, saving for a whole year. I got an Aurora Magellano with blue lacquer and got my name engraved. Ever since, I never looked back haha
@Peter Draws the rubbery thing on the cap and the bottom of the Muji Pen are probably there to reduce vakuum when closing/posting the cap. Otherwise you would barely get it of the pen i think :) btw love your Vids, even tho i´m not using fountain pens or draw in any kind, just some relaxing content. keep it up!
This is my first video of yours I've ever seen (my husband is an artist and has watched a good bit)-- but I really enjoyed this video! You add some flair to a subject that can be dull sometimes. I adore fountain pens, though. Thanks for the video!
I also made the mistake of using india ink in my Safari and it got gummed up for a long time and I was frustrated. Got some really great ink and flushed the pen out really good, and now it's my favorite pen. So smooth. Kaweco Sport and Eco are in my want list, hopefully I'll get to try soon
I have the Twsbi clear with clear cap. I think it's a good pen for the money and I like the clear and how people think the pen is the color of the ink. One day I'll have a red pen, then powder blue the next day. It has the med nib and the only issue I have is with the nib sliding out of the pen. I just noticed this 2 days ago, I just push it back in. The nib doesn't fall all the way out , just a little bit; it may be caused by the way I drag the pen when I write.
my daily is the pilot metro, great pen, used it so much the paint is wearing down and is shiny with some of it missing showing the brass! hasn't let me down tho. my favourite is my sheaffer snorkel, real neat pen, highly recommend (gotta rebuild it tho)
Great job with the sponsorships. :) The green ink looks like Rohrer and Klingner Alt-Goldgrun, one of my faves. Loving that Waterman. Maybe someday I'll get one. Oh nice, Jinhao got some mention and that's my fave inexpensive pen. I prefer the 992, 1200, and the x450 and x750, with a couple modified with the Zebra G Nib for that insane flex. They didn't get mentioned but I like the pretty acrylic PENBBS pens too. They haven't failed me.
I've really taken to this bloke, love that what you see is what you get.

That is one of my favorite parts about it. The other parts are the nibs and they feel pretty solid for a plastic pen.

This channel brings me joy, in my heart, in my hand and in the paper
I love the "calm" you have Peter. Refreshing.
TW = Tai Wan, BI = Pen in chinese
TWSBI = TW's BI = Tai Wan's Pen
Actually TWS is SWT reversed, sān wén
táng 三文堂
So the abbreviation would actually translate to 三文堂笔
I don’t even care... it has just become my absolute favorite pen.
TWSBI's name stands for the phrase "Hall of Three Cultures" or "San Wen Tong" in Chinese. The character "Wen" translates into language and culture.

Thanks for doing this, Peter. Excited to grow my collection and with the help you've provided I can narrow my efforts.
Peter: I can give you a top five potato.
Me: Say Yucon gold
Peter: Idaho Potato, some other potato.
Me: Say Yucon gold
Peter: Yucon gold
Me: ahhhh yes, it's all coming together
You're a sad individual.
not many people even know 5 varieties of potatoes though. haha
Sorry but its Yukon
I'm guessing he's a fan of the movie "Best in Show" with this potato bit.
I was thinking the exact same think lol
A Peter Draws video a day keeps the anxiety away

When you see Peter doesnt have dislikes :). There's still hope .
He can try out my Schaeffer pen then. Disappointed the guy at the art store even let me walk out with it.
He has now :(
The Ol' Riky Marty Jinx strikes again.
I keep saying, once you mention it, they come. So zip it peeps 😃
@Öykü Elif Şare Its a bit of the pen and the nib. It just doesnt flow properly. I have to press heavy and it dies after just a slight marking

His sense of humor is so underrated, so unique 👏
That smile at the start was... breathtaking
I absolutely love Lamy pens so much. They are the only pens which make writing an essay enjoyable!
Wow! Few years ago when people recommended you fountain pens you said you didn’t like. Now look at that....plenty of collection! :)

I just noticed this 2 days ago, I just push it back in. The nib doesn't fall all the way out , just a little bit; it may be caused by the way I drag the pen when I write.
Oh My gosh Is the world ending? Peter is going to pick an almost favorites!
Wow. I’d love to draw with any one of these pens 😍
I didnt even mind the sponsored stuff. I was curious to hear how peter would advertise something lol.
i appreciate that he warns us and gives the count down!
my daily is the pilot metro, great pen, used it so much the paint is wearing down and is shiny with some of it missing showing the brass! hasn't let me down tho. my favourite is my sheaffer snorkel, real neat pen, highly recommend (gotta rebuild it tho)
Thank you for your honest and fun videos! I just might have to check out that Kaweco Sport!
Great job with the sponsorships. :)
The green ink looks like Rohrer and Klingner Alt-Goldgrun, one of my faves. Loving that Waterman. Maybe someday I'll get one.
Oh nice, Jinhao got some mention and that's my fave inexpensive pen. I prefer the 992, 1200, and the x450 and x750, with a couple modified with the Zebra G Nib for that insane flex.
They didn't get mentioned but I like the pretty acrylic PENBBS pens too. They haven't failed me.
