    I wish I could personally boost the algorithm in your favor because you deserve more views, likes, and comments. I've been here since day 1, when you had a roommate and mostly did mandala type drawings. I know the variety of your channel, I've watched your style evolve and grow over time, and after years I had the privilege of meeting you in person and you are even nicer than anticipated. Keep doing you and I know you'll do spectacular ❤

    I have been watching your videos for yearsss and i just wanted to say that i love your work, i love your energy, i love your strange little insights when you ramble and you make me giggle. Sometimes i go back and watch that one video of you sniffing the smelly pen just for a pick me up. I wheeze every time. Happy youre still creating

    I’m a ceramic sculptor and a potter. If you’re ever tempted to try clay, even air-dry clay, it would be fascinating to see how you work, and what you produce. Love your drawings! Thanks for being a supportive person. :)

    I just sent this episode to my sister in California. I am 71, she is 69. Like you... ye've both been and will always be artists in various mediums. My daughter Kate also loves your work. She too is a trained artist. Peter, what you do for us all out here is so welcome and essential... I'll also say, healing. Thank you for your support and encouragement over the years. Sincerely, a life fan... Sam Hatman

    I love your art, and it has been a huge inspiration to me. Your videos have made me care less about what people may think about my art and care more about staying true to myself and seeing what kind of art comes out of that. I have noticed I am always happier with the end result when it was a true effort to stay true to myself. As much as I love your art, I follow you for your outlook and your mind. You have been the “cool art teacher” to more people than you know. Keep doing everything you have been doing and thanks for the inspiration!

    I like the drawings you do that a little more organic than mechanically inclined. This one is maybe a bit of both, and I like it! It's quite spiffy!
    I post on IG, but I try never to draw/paint with that as my goal. I'm old, really old. I don't have time to make art for others. I make it for me. If other people like it? Bonus!
    Love ya, Peter! You're very wise for someone so young!

    You deserve all the nice comments. You're incredibly generous, open and giving in the way you share!
    Something I've been doing recently that you might enjoy is using pigments from the environment, particularly rock-based. It can be quite simple to find something that will work and grind it up with honey, water and gum/sap, or just some water and oil of some kind. I do it with guidance of some cousins as we are indigenous and it's another way to connect to our environment and traditional practices. But I think anyone can do it as long as you're choosing the right places to gather from and doing it carefully. The Book of Earth by Heidi Gustafson shows some techniques and all the colours that can be found in rocks and earth.

    I would recommend chalk pasteles (thats what non-oil pasteles are) on black paper. 👌so so fun, so much contrast, and its a similar feeling to the charcoal on paper feel.

    There's oil pastel and soft pastel. Soft pastel is a lot like using compressed charcoal, except with colors and it's my favorite medium. Rembrandt is a good starting out soft pastel, but they're a bit harder than the more expensive ones. Sennelier is a good step up from Rembrandt, they're a little softer. The real nice ones are buttery smooth and some of them are so soft you barely touch them to the paper and pigment comes off.

    Peter?....Are you thinking about...maybe, just maybe....becoming an art teacher, like in a school? This was so good, so inspiring--- if I wasnt already making art I would have rushed out in the rain to get supplies. What you said about creating was just right. Your students will love you...just don’t leave us entirely.

    Wow this really hit me. I know what you mean about the self doubt. My art almost never get's on social media and of course it never get's comments. 2 reasons are I don't post enough but I also run out of time (working 12-14 hours a day) but I still draw. It's just my thing. I use it for now for work posters on the potlucks or Christmas cards and then I try to draw when I can. I don't know maybe I don't need likes to draw? Man I love this art piece, looks like Star Trek!, glad your enjoying the characoals, I used to put a few white on top of the blacks. Ooooh, colored pastels on charcoals might be a nice dash of color! You can use a knife and powder it down and put it on with a dry brush (or a wet brush)

    One can also use charcoal in their folding titanium backpacking stove. It burns longer than random sticks and twigs picked up from the forest floor. Bearing in mind you are just boiling water for freeze-dried back-packers' meals. The charcoal pencils- not so much- the paint on the outside of the pencils stinks when burning. Anyways.

    Have you ever heard of KRINK? They make some great markers. So, working on larger sheets of paper, try using KRINK models, K-71 and K-51, and throw in a K-63 as well. Think you might enjoy the flow and feel.

    • @peter_draws
      @peter_draws  22 дні тому +1

      Yeah I’ve tried those occasionally, but aren’t they like $15 a marker? I think they are refillable, and it’s probably still good investment for a few of them, it’s just a hard pill to swallow sometimes

    • @mattylujan
      @mattylujan 20 днів тому

      @ Totally agree; they are pricey. But personally, I don't mind the hit, as I both enjoy the experience of using them and just the design of them. I keep the empties just for the look of them! I mean, I also love brush markers, so I'll pay $8 for only one of those, too. I'm something of a marker enthusiast, so I know I'm paying too much at times. But I understand if someone does not want to.

      I agree that its best to repurpose or donate supplies as much as possible. That said its not a sin to do what you want with what you own yourself. Just like you cannot magically get your food in your fridge to the starving in the world, its not realistic to donate
      or repurpose everytime.
