Though I recognize that I’m not an artist, There have been a few comments about me tracing and I don't know if it is being implied that I didn't draw the fish or not, but let me explain the process as I remember it, for it has been a while since I made the video. Only fountain pens were to be featured in the video, so as I recall, prior to dragging the camera out, I first sketched the rough shape of the fish using pencil, then used a black marker over the pencil so that it would show through the clean sheet of paper on which I would do the final drawing for the video. In the video I used the fountain pen to trace the rough shape of the fish and then made up the details as the camera continued to roll. Hope this clears up any confusion or misconceptions.
@@dajusta87 Yes this is the video where you can safely come back to when everything else feels bad. It's like that nostalgic song that you listen every now and then. Great stuff!
I had never heard the term until a couple of years ago. I'm typical, I think, in the fact that I went all my life experiencing ASMR without really knowing that many people didn't. No one ever talked about until someone defined it I guess.
Same here, thought it was just me until well into my forties. Experienced it my whole life but unlike others, for me it's not a particular type of sound it's just certain people and I have no idea what the common thread is.
This guy could rob a bank by ASMR-talking everyone into a sense of calm and sleepiness. The gold bars gently tapping and scrapping across the tile floor, clinking together as he narrates his thievery openly, people just watching and listening.
According to Noodler's... “Noodler’s Ink” has the lowest cost per volume in stores that carry it and it’s 100% made in the USA from cap to glass to ink. The ink with the catfish on the label symbolizes a southern sport that attempts to equalize the struggle between man and animal in the quest for a sense of fair play - and thus a fair price.
This was the first asmr video I ever watched and it introduced me to asmr. I love it so much I come back to it frequently. I just wanted to thank you and tell you I appreciate you
Same here!! This is my first ASMR video that I ever watched. I guess it's been about 3 years now. Still one of my favorite ASMR videos. It's basically a classic for me, lol
I’ve been watching this video for years and it never ceases to relax me, feel safe and at home. Plus your drawing is beautiful, you really are an artist and should do more videos where you explain other fish or animals whilst drawing them. I really enjoy all the facts you give!
This video just changed my life and took me to a place of relaxation I have not yet had the pleasure of experiencing up until now. Highly recommend videos like this to sufferers of MI's especially PTSD. This made my mind quiet and calmed my mental landscape tenfold. Thank you from the bottom of my heart x
Man, this brings back memories of my father. We didn't really have catfish in our region but he was always big into fishing, and quite the avid fisherman at that. I have very fond memories of going to a lake and getting out on the water, setting our rods and just relaxing, patiently waiting for a bite. Be out there until sunset often, and depending on the lake and restrictions we sometimes took some fish back to grill, and we'd eat heartily. My father passed years ago so this is a nice revival.
Good stuff! Up till now I have always listened to the females who posted videos. Yours sounds great and natural, unlike some people who post that try to hard and it shows. Thanks for taking the time to create this video.
+101limestone I agree. I'm not too crazy about the whispering ASMR videos. I find myself struggling to hear what they're saying sometimes, which is not too relaxing to me. I like a calm soothing voice like this one or Bob Ross.
Another Perfect ASMR. I love the Slow real time drawing & your Voice is very relaxing, But also I like how you talk about the thing you are drawing and give back ground education. It a really great combination. better than any sleeping Pill.
Jeez RA, i don't know why, but i came back to this for some reason tonight, and this remains one of the best pioneering asmr videos of all time. Respect
Love your quiet background music. Thank you for your work. It's one of the best out there. I never feel coerced when I watch your asmr videos - they're honest and quiet.
Catfish are my favorite fish and this video is ultimate zen. Love the guitar in the background and the drawing turned out great! The style reminds me of the art in older fishing magazines. Thanks for this little treasure!
As someone who is an artist, I was very impressed by the drawing, better than anything I could do. And you saying you weren’t an artist made me sad, because its better than my art...
Artistic presentation of art in progress. I don't usually look for asmr things, it's nice but I was looking for drawing with a fountain pen. I'm learning to draw and I'd like to learn inking and I concidered nib pens as a interesting way of doing so. And caligraphy can improve my handwritting. I simply love learning new things. Thank you for the video.
The greatest artists are often so humble... I find this phenomenon extremly interesting... This is a wonderful video and exquisite drawing by an impeccable artist!
I can never sit through a whole ASMR video because of my ADHD, but these videos you make are so relaxing and I'm just draw into it and I can't leave. Thank you. :)
This guy says he's not an artist but then manages to draw a cool-looking fish that I, an actual artist, definitely wouldn't be able to draw in one go like that. My dude you got some talent
Love Noodler's Ink. I collect fountain pens, vintage and new. I have from vintage Parker's to the new Pilot FA Falcon pen. Very interesting hobby. Love the watch. Thanks for the video!
+Joey Lopez I free-handed the outline of the fish body and then traced it because I didn't want to mess up the paper I inked on. Rest assured that I drew the picture:)
I’m no artist, but I’m very shocked, surprised, and extremely intrigued to see how your catfish drawing worked out. You did an amazing job, and you shouldn’t deny you’re talent.
+Marco LIZ Sounds like a dog "sleep barking" .... haha its funny cause as soon as I heard that, I decided to read the comments to see if anyone else had something to say about it. and here you are ^^ honestly it startled me at first then when i realized what it was it was funny lol. xD
I know this is a bit of an old video but just to clarify the catfish representation if anyone is curious. There is a sport/activity where people go into rivers and try find catfish hiding in holes/dens, and wrestle them out with their bare hands. This sport it called noodling (the name of the ink) hence the catfish resemblance.
I absolutely love the textures you've got on the fish... is it weird that I think this would make the coolest shower curtain design if it was blown up large?
If this wasn't meant to be asmr, it would sound like a very boring lecture on catfish and drawing it. Funny that fine line between relaxing sleepy and boring sleepy. Great vid! So gentle....
FINALLY found the perfect male voice!! I'm kind of picky about ASMR. There are voices that are good but they either talk too fast or not enough. I can't stand some sounds such as lip smacking,eating, repeating words,water pouring, and a kind crackling sound when women talk. Ugh. But you talk normally and aren't whispering. Just talking softly. Love it!
The first video I ever saw of yours was you cleaning your "Minolta" that was a while back - been keeping up ever since. I believe my 3 favorite videos of your is this one, your "flex nib whisper" video and the Minolta - just wanted to give thanks for all the great work.
The term that others are grasping for is properly referred to as 'crosshatching'. It is a technique which was created by Leonardo Da Vinci, and his skillful application is easily noted in many of his Contè sketches.

What would you have to be able to do to consider yourself an artist? I think you’re an artist.
So so many great comments to this catfish video! I appreciate every one of them. Thank you all.
so you can do a catfish with good details huh... well ima let you know now that I draw a mean stick figure

I LOVE the gentle guitar strumming...a very nice touch.
The technique is called thatching, or cross-thatching, and you've done a magnificent job of it. Lovely video. Very relaxing, and informative!
Joel Bertin Thanks for the compliment, and glad you liked the video:)
I've only ever heard it called hatching.
this was very mellow and lovely to listen to while I did some embroidery. 😌

Up til now, the ASMR videos I’ve seen I cannot take. This is different and is calming. Nice catfish too!
Ohhhh yes. Haven’t seen this in years and it just popped up on my recommended videos. It’s *quietly* lit!
I like how he says catfish. for some reason it is really relaxing when he says it.
Love Noodler's Ink. I collect fountain pens, vintage and new. I have from vintage Parker's to the new Pilot FA Falcon pen. Very interesting hobby. Love the watch. Thanks for the video!
Is it just me or does he seam like the old man from Toy Story 2 that fixes Woody?
he does remind me of the refurbisher by his little bottles and very meticulous motions of his hands. his voice is very different though, thankfully.

Thank you.
"I'm not putting that much detail into it..." FAM, I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO PUT THAT MUCH DETAIL INTO A CATFISH IF I *TRIED*!
