Trying Out a Weird Jumbo Fountain Pen (Ironically called the Q1 Mini)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2021
- This pen surprised me in several ways. First of all, I didn't expect it to be so big, when it's called a mini. I also enjoyed the little magnifying glass on the cap, and I was skeptical about how easy it would be to grip, but it turned out to be pretty comfortable. I think if it had been longer or made out of a heavier material, things could have gotten bad quickly as far as ergonomics are concerned, but it turned out to be ok.
Here's where I bought it, and at the time of me posting this, you can see that the brand name is officially "Majohn" instead of Moonman. I don't really know the official status of that though: www.amazon.com...

I yelled that it was about to drip but I must not have been loud enough. I'm still learning to communicate through space and time.
I may have heard something but you have to find a way to speak over the other voices
Aren't we all just learning to communicate through space and time? Reminds me of that Aldous Huxley quote from "The Doors of Perception":
"We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies-all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes."
@@dathaniel9403 WOW, that's beautiful and tragically accurate
I’m here for this comment…. And didn’t know I was here for this comment. Lol
If met with a statement like "you should have used more blue" a useful approach is to challenge that: "Oh? why do you think that?"
That moves it from their ideas vs your ideas into the realm of discussion.
Once a discussion is established you are in a better place to test their statements and you are also more open to hearing feedback as it can be backed with their reasons and weighed against your own.
:)
Thing is, most people have a very static view and preference for things, and would rather react emotionally than to try and examine themselves, which is a necessary part of a discussion.
@@nidsalim7911 But it never hurts to try. And if you respond reasonably, and they don't take your response well, that is on them. And if it is in a public forum, everyone else eventually realizes that you are not being over sensitive-they are.
Well said!
@@nidsalim7911 I don't find this to be the case in college courses so much though. Online yeah. But in my game dev course if I ask someone - a fellow designer - why they think something, they can usually give a decent reason for why. I suspect the same is true in an art course. Your peers are also artists concerned with the intentions behind good work.

If you care to know, I'm a utility pipeline locator. I spray the lines all over the road indicating the location of different utilities. Been doing it 5 years. Its a pretty cool gig especially if you like painting lines.
Love your videos Peter!
I work retail.
I'm a busser
Red is dead!
Hey thanks for that
Peter is getting so close to a whole million subscribers, and i couldn't be happier for him. About dang time!
Agreed he is and his drawing is getting a bit detailed been a while since I've watched but comparing then and now its lot more detailed .
Keep up the good work peter. 🔥🔥🔥
The "draw your feelings" Video must have been of help in that matter
It's hard to be believe he doesn't already but maybe this is his lucky breakthrough!
Go Peter go!! ♡♡♡
This makes me want to subscribe a second and third time
Same I subbed twice on two accounts because he’s a really genuine guy and is funny and draws really really well I’m surprised he’s not at 5 million already. Hey Peter! How’s your fender guitar working out? It’s my favorite guitar
Peter, do you ever feel like a mad scientist, chemist, or alchemist when filling your ink pens with an eye dropper?
Yes, it’s delightful
@@peter_draws I liked it when you LOOKED like a mad scientist, so authentic haha. Up next: a wizard's cloak and hat while you craft new Peter-potioned paper pictures with your drawing temperature :)
Personally, I use an industrial syringe (no scary sharp points) to fill my eyedropper pens. The pipettes are too drippy, and don't hold as much as a 5ml or bigger syringe.
I've never felt such intense suspense as when that filled and open pen bottom was balanced precariously on end 😬😲
RIGHT? I felt like he would be knocking it over with that paper towel at any moment. Truly chair gripping suspense!!!
Boi my anxiety went through the roof
Look at his recent video about his new sketchbook. He opens it and leans the cover on a full cup of coffee.
@@iwonka We only ever knock a bottle of ink over once. There is enormous awareness and care after that. Back in the '80s, my best friend (still is - I guess he really is a decent bloke) knocked over 50 litres (about 13 US gallons) of colour print bleach/fix on to a carpeted floor in the photo lab. He has been given a Montblanc on an anniversary but has never used it. I guess the stinky mess of photo chemicals left a bad impression.
peter, you are my happy place. when i am dealing with any anxiety, or feeling a bit down, i watch your videos and am swept up in your quirky enthusiasm until all my woes melt away. thank you for existing, sir. i wish you all the good stuff in the world!
[got to the end of the video-edit] and, no, you should definitely not just have to sit back and take it. people are entitled to their opinions, but no one is obligated to listen to them, lol.
If it’s critique in class you are absolutely obligated to listen to them.
My favorite part of all of your videos is the beginning when you say
"Hello everyone, my name is Peter...".
I hope you never stop saying it.
We love Peter !
I think a good response to most critiques would be, "Why do you think that?" Because then it would help you determine whether they have a valid technical reason, or whether it is just personal taste. I believe you have every right to defend your work. But self reflection is always a good thing too. Only you know. 👍🙂
The amount of blue is highly subjective (ask Picasso) you speak up for what you believe. This maybe the wisdom your prof is trying to impart, stay true to you!!
Go on Peter! So close to one million subscribers, and still you keep being close and kind to your followers.
Thank you for sharing your art and your interest in fountain pens for other people to see and learn.
I wish you great success.
Thank you!
Hello Peter, how about doing another drawing your feelings video? It really feels so relaxing. Salutes from Spain 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I'm from Spain too oleee
@@hejolasia6692 Yo también! qué bueno que no soy el único :D
I imagine this pen being handy for tattoo artists practicing script! It being thicker it matches the feeling of a large grip, I may give it a try and see!
Ohhh true
We gotta get Peter to 1milliom subs!
Hell yea
and have a livestream of the countdown then party afterwards too!!

We absolutely have to

1. To speed the saturation of the feed and nib after eyedropping or installing a cartridge, I like to stick the nib in the ink bottle for 10-20 seconds. It helps quite a bit.
2. The Moonman Q1 is a close copy of the discontinued Tombow 828, aka the Tombow Egg. Some say the fat design is easier to use for those with arthritis.
3. Critiques are why I didn't stick around for another degree in college. I developed quite the phobia.
in my experience after two degrees, if it's a prof giving the critique it's good to push back in the form of a question so that you can learn more from them "why is it not enough blue? There's blue here and here..."
If on the other hand it's another student and they aren't obviously someone with enviable knowledge and skill then they're probably just making stuff up to get through the class or they're trying hard but they don't know much and you take it all with a grain of salt. Especially since you have a lot of artistic experience and are older and wiser than your average college kid, it's not your first rodeo and your intuition as an artist is finally honed... to me school is about learning as much as i can so even when I disagreed with a prof's assessment I always tried to get to the bottom of why they thought that way.. if it was a peer? i didn't care too much. Maybe thats arrogance but I think it's fine. I don't know why they have peers review each others work when their critiques are most likely not based on anything substantial.
Remember "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" ... one mans "Too much Blue" is another mans "Perfect amount of Blue" , as long as your not getting upset and defensive over the critiques than just take others opinions as a way to understand more of the world :) you don't have to agree but understanding is powerful :)
Working as a 3D artist on some cars. More technical than artistic but I get a similar feeling as when I draw. Really clears my mind and its just chill. Helps that im working from home and dont have to care about deadlines that much.
#1 thing I learned in school (not art, but engineering) was that my classmates' "constructive criticism" was usually not useful. It typically came from a teacher with not enough time to correct every student's work, so they asked students to peer-review. It's incredibly useful for people in a profession that actually care to help each other, but when you're freshmen or sophomore college students, the peer-reviews usually just look for flaws so they can get their own grade and get out. Good peer-review and criticism comes with a discussion and sound reasoning from both sides of the discussion.
Hey Peter, in regards to your critiques issue, the simple answer is yes, just stand there and take it. Many schools actually don't allow the student whose work is being critiqued to say anything (which is wack honestly). But overall, critiques are there to give you perspective outside your own. They aren't meant to punch down or belittle the art or the artist, they're there so that you can gain insight from peers and potential consumers. If you feel a critique is unnecessary or that what that person is saying is just wrong, then don't listen to them. I've had plenty of professors make a suggestion to a student that, when implemented, made the piece worse. So don't take what other people say as gospel, it's just their opinion that you can choose to incorporate or not. I don't think defending yourself is wrong, per se, but it devalues the experience of hearing out your peers, and giving their thoughts a fair chance. Just because you believe a piece to have just the right amount of blue (as you said) it may look better if you used it elsewhere strategically. It also may look unbalanced. (This is also the wonderful power of digital art, where we can see just what something would look like slightly differently)
Oh boy I know that was long, but hopefully it helps. TL;DR, critique isn't an attack, it's an open discussion about different views and opinions. Its best when you absorb what others say, and make your own (now better informed) choices from there.
Hey, I was just pondering on when your next upload might be. Happy times!
I would ask your professor if they like that you defend your work, or they would rather you just reflect on other's opinions. Could be a good gage of how you're perceived.
I think this is a good idea. You want clarity as far as what is expected of you as your work is being critiqued. I am sure others probably want to know as well.
A better and more common approach: You can take your criticism and @#$%&- &$### the &@$@$ blue.
Highly recommended
@@starter0951 Agreed
Everyone see's art through their own personal growth, personal experiences, and personal taste/tactile. I have always defended my work but learned to not let it show too much in the moment, but rather take everything into consideration as an act in front of everyone. Every now and again someone will suggest something that will be beneficial but until then, i would just nod, and defend your art in a small manor, not to show a complete blocking of constructive criticism. There is always room for improvement but how handle the criticism will determine weather or not you are growing as an artist and individual. That is just experience and suggestion to you but you do you. Thanks for sharing, you are very talented.
I love using eyedropper pens - I have found that just dipping the nib in the ink is enough to get things started if the ink isn't making it all the way through the feed as fast as you want it to in a pen that has been cleaned and dried all the way (or a new pen)
I wonder if your peers struggle to produce a critique? If it’s expected and required..maybe that pressure causes a little panic and they pull things out of the air..which isn’t making sense to you. ? I think I would feel like a deer in the headlights if I HAD to critique your creations. Without thinking too much about it I suggest you listen and thank them and leave it be. Ultimately doesn’t the critique say more about the giver than the receiver?
Maybe is it less of a need to defend as it is to have the last word? I’m just asking. You do seem to have a heightened need to feel understood. So you launch into your rationale..but then quickly realize there is no need to express your preferences. (I do this too!) I could be all full of bologna. I love your creations and videos. You are teaching all of us. Thank you!
Good points, thank you!
That black ink is probably the most satisfying thing I’ve watched in a long time.
sometimes it's just so relaxing to listen to you, your voice is special. your drawings are always an experience. thanks.
The first drawing with the blue ink is so incredible. Really love it. 🎨👍
love the blue ink, and the 2nd nib was so nice! The stipling in the drawing was very fine!
I decided to pick up this little pen because of this video 😁 and I'm loving the heck out of it! Amazing review and illustrations, Peter ! You're an inspiration! Thank you for the lore behind this little chonky pen, too 🙏! Keep up the great work
I really like your style of art.
I too think black is one of the best colors for pens
That lense at the end of the cap is awesome! Beautiful set.
You are such a beautiful person, Peter. The world needs more people like you.
So far you are the only reviewer showing that awesome cap trick with checking out the nib. Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting these videos Peter! You are incredibly artistic and great to listen to. You've inspired me to start my own channel on youtube. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Hey. Just a homeschooling mom who finished up second grade with her daughter yesterday (hallelujah!). Taking a week or so break before starting up third grade. I wish I was traveling or looking at waves, though. I'll gladly settle for watching you put ink on a page, however, as it's just as calming and intriguing as any body of water or vacation I could take.
Keep up the awesome work.
This is such a beautiful drawing. One of my favorites you’ve done! Love your channel!
As for jobs, I work in film and tv as a makeup artist, carpenter, and grip, plus filling in on other departments as needed. I need to take a break from carpentery work though, as I seem to have developed a skin allergy to sawdust. Most likely the formaldehyde used in plywood. Good thing I didn't become a mortician!
You got a calming voice bro. I got frustrated with fountain pens after having trouble getting them going then I switched to dip pens, your video helped me like them again. I only accept critique if it adds something new to my approach to all art, not just one piece. I think gathering different ways of thinking of things keeps things interesting, it's a great motivator and reflects in your work, evidently as it does in yours.
Thanks for giving me peace in these sad times.
I have this Moonman Q1 in every colour except for clear! The nib can be exchanged with Bock nibs - threads match up exactly, and Parallel nibs can friction fit inside too
Side note - Moonman was forced to change their name since Kaweco trademarked the "Moonman" name, so new boxes are now branded as Majohn or Mojiang. Kaweco felt that Moonman had copied their design of the Sport in one of their models that had hexagonal features, so Kaweco trademarked "Moonman" out of spite.
So glad I came across this channel. Was kinda obsessed with procedural art when I was a kid and this stuff is just ridiculously good. If I get back into drawing it will be thanks to you Peter :D
Thank you for the smiles!❤
Also, I really love the blue. It looked almost black in a couple of places that you laid down the ink thickly. Which is a nice range from the light blue of other areas. 👍🏻
The flip through to find the test page gave me hopes for a tour when its complete. Also I believe the Ts in tsutsuji are silent, like tsunami.
Your art makes me happy
A bit of trivia in case you're interested Peter!
About the ink names, 'konpeki' means 'azure'. 'kosumosu' is just the way they pronounce 'cosmos' (I'm assuming the type of flower because of the pink colour, not as in space). And 'tsutsuji' means 'azalea'.
So the names are quite poetic too!
Thanks for the info, that’s really cool!
I want to start out by saying great video as always, I'm looking forward to seeing the full sketchbook!
For what you were saying about criticism, I think I'm the same way in crits, I am usually pretty confident that there are errors and mistakes in my work, but I find that a lot of the criticisms I get are preference based or just plain wrong, so I find myself defending my work more than I would like too, only because I don't think half the criticisms I get are even remotely close to why I don't like the way things I made turn out.
The problem is then I get really into my head about whether or not my dismissal of certain criticisms is just some subconscious defense mechanism and if my work is even worse than I thought, and from then on it's just an downwards spiral of mistrusting my own eyes and all positive feedback I have ever received.
The moral of the story being I don't think you're alone in that concern.
Strangest pen I've ever seen - it's really fun to be able to see the magnified image of the Iridium tip. Most fun review of a pen I've seen. It's sometimes funny how these reviews turn out. I saw a Lamy Safari get a belting awhile ago. I'm a Pelikan 805 fan but I went out and bought a Lamy immediately. Thank you, Peter.
I love how Peter just goes on about car manufacturing while simultaneously doodling one of the best drawings I’ve ever seen
This art style is so intriguing
I didn’t even know he uploaded and now I’m happy 😁
This guy makes many of us happy! :D
Your art mesmerizes me in concert with your narrative. I must have this pen.
Your style of artwork kicks ass! It's very cool and unique!
I didn't realize I had lost your channel but im back and loving the art
With my university the lecturers would say their criticisms about the project and if you are able to defend and justify what you've done they are more willing to understand your mindset and will be less likely to act on the criticism. Almost like defending yourself in court. They told us that we need to believe in our process more than anything else because that's what makes a good designer, not someone who follows someone elses rules but rather someone re-inventing the rules or living by their own.
I've become addicted to iroshizuku ink. Their bottles and colors are fantastic.
I just cant get over how amazing and clean all of your pieces are
Calm and informative artist, recommended by a friend. Regards!
hey peter, love the videos. currently watching while building a 3d printer for Architecture class. good luck with interior design, i know how tough studios can get
That loupe cap is genius
Use both inks to make a 3d drawing and maybe get some 3d red and blue glasses
Okay, Peter. This is how they go. The model with the red aluminum trim ring around it is the Moonman M2. The one with the flat spot on the side to keep it from rolling but is otherwise just a clear rod of acrylic is the Moonman C1. The one with the little "goblet" shape so it stands upright on end is the Moonman S5. And the fat one you call the Mini is the Moonman Q1.
I don't have an S5 but I have the other three. :) I have the same problem with the Q1 of the cap not staying posted if I somehow apply ANY side pressure to the cap while it is posted, where it just "pops" off.
The Moonman Wancai Mini is a tiny bit shorter than the Q1 you have in this video, and about as big around as the C1. The cap screws on to post so that it becomes comfortably long to write with. I like (LOVE!) Moonman's EF nibs and have the extra-fine nibs in almost all the Moonman pens I have. You should get the Wancai mini and try it out.
Listening to you talk about pen drama was so oddly relaxing (:
I love how you draw, is there a video where you explain your drawing process or inspiration? I often run out of ideas but these drawings seem to be their own idea entirely
Gah! Tsutsuji and Kon Peki are two of my favorite Iroshizuku inks! 💖 I'm used to you using black, but I'm glad to see you selected gorgeous colors, too!
19:40 looks like an underwater city, I love it!
Taking a semester off from going back to school atm, definitely don't miss those types of classroom antics. I would definitely talk to the professor about it and see what he / she thinks about you defending your work, if they would prefer you just took it and dismissed what you don't agree with on your own or not. I'm studying IT security, hope I can make something out of it soon enough
Wow. These colors float my boat
Your art is a expression of you and they are just speaking on what they would do.
Everyone see art in different ways but dont let what someone else thinks get you in a funk about your work.
I love your work and dont stop doing what you do.
There are alot of people who wish they could do what you can like me.
I cant draw a stick figure.
You are awesome dont let anybody tell you different.
I just love your rants, they always make me reflect on myself and you are also an amazing artist. I love it here.
I just found your channel randomly, and I want to say how cool those two pieces are that you doodled. Such cool intricate designs.
I would totally watch a collection swatching Video where you show off all you inks in comparision like „These are all my Reds, See How this pinkish red is slightly More Pinkish as this Pinky red“ 🤭 and if you feel ambishious also the pens and Nips from smallest to largest 😂 dont know if you think this would be fun but it sounds super satisfying to watch to me 😂💖
Awesome video again! Do you have a video where you show off your collection of fancy pens? Do you have a display case? I wanna see the complete collection!
The loope! Such a great feature!
Thank you for this review. I love my Q1. Seeing the top of the cap as a loupe was a fun AHA moment.
I wish I could do what he does on paper! Thank you for your videos Peter. Super calming and very entertaining.
There is no reason not to defend your choices as long as you are willing to accept that you could be wrong. If someone can't back up their criticism then it is not valid so a healthy debate on disagreements is always a good thing.
They’re quite a nice pen,very comfortable to hold and use. There is also a fude nib.
you are a superstar Peter, I remember you videos from the beginning, respect
Peter,
Really enjoyed this video, especially the blue ink drawing. Blue has a cooler appearance than the color black, and is easier to look at.
Please consider drawing with other colors.
Thank you for another wonderful video!!
On the subject of taking criticism, I think theres a balance:
On one hand, its great to hear others opinions and to take them in consideration, especially when it’s enlightening or when it genuinely criticizes something you need work on.
On the other, however, theres still a level of artistic integrity that we need to have, and all criticism, whether good or bad, at the end of the day are opinions, and if you believe that what you did was the very best you can do, or came out the way you wanted, then you can defend your decision for doing that.
Criticism is a two way street, pieces can be criticized, but so can the critic, not everyone is going to have the same opinion about YOUR artwork, and that’s okay! Thats the beauty of showing your work to the world! Everyones a critic, but its how you interpret that criticism that defines your progression!
you made me want to get the pen as my first moonman reservoir type pen. thank you dude, i love the wackiness of this thing and i cant wait to get it in the mail!
My therapist told me I knew a lot about pens.
I directed him to PeterDraws
The panic when you were looking for a place to set down the little dropper after you used it, just to finally put it in your mouth XD
This pen is the exact proportions of a cartoon character's pen
I love my Moonman pens. Thank you for introducing me to them.
I don't take criticism well either. Especially on my designs or artwork because I pour so much of myself into the work so I take the criticism as an insult to who I am.
Hello Peter
i enjoy your work very much ,I see the situation that you speek about
at the end of the video like this
everybody thinks their opinnions make them who they are ,
in trying to put some of themselfs onto yourself,by putting their opinnions onto your shoulders, they try to make their image of you ,more agreeable with their image of themselves
there is no right or wrong way of doing anything in life ,
its just that bunch of people are trying to protect their own identity in countless different ways without realizing it,
Let them have their opinion ,and if you so choose, allow yourself to keep yours ,
LOVE YOU
have a nice day ❤
"Hey-yy you copied me...it's got wheels", 😂😂😂
I just found you and love your videos. Also, You have a great voice that could narrate books. Thank you for sharing 🙋🏻♀️
First ever video from this channel I've watched, it's very relaxing
Peter, you somehow remind of someone and no one at the same time. Never stop drawing man, you're always an inspiration to your peers.
For us who have arthritis and also a architecture student thick pens are god sent
I have the exact model, it's very pretty, I'm saving it for my transparent ink, which should arrive soon.
This man... His voice is perfect for an ASMR
Your black drawing needed more blue 😋. Seriously though, i love Kon Peki and that blue drawing was amazing. Thanks for sharing. 😀
Peter, I am interested in fountain pens as well and I have been pen palling with a friend of mine using all my fountain pen goodness. Recently I have discovered a new ink that makes my inner raccoon ( Ohhh sparkly things) very happy. Are you at all familiar with Jacques Herbin ink? He has one called stormy night that is absolutely stunning. It is a dark grey fountain pen ink but it has glittery bits in it that do NOT clog up the pens. I have three different colors now, one is called Gris Orage which is Grey with gold fleck. Another is called Caroube de Chypre which is a gorgeous copper color ink with a wonderful brown shimmer to it and the third of this kind of ink I own is called Amethyste de Oural which is a bold purple ink with what seems like silvery or light lavender glitter/fleck. I only own three at this point because they are a bit spendy at close to $30US per bottle. I find that when you fill your pens it is highly important to shake the bottle to lift the fleck off the bottom of the bottle and when storing the pens it is important to store them nib down for best effect.
Just curious if you have tried these inks. I think You might get a kick out of drawing something and have a slight shimmer to your drawing after the fact. Best wishes and brightest blessings to you, Peter.
I loved the blue drawing. They're all amazing tho as always
No buddy, you need to defend your work! That’s the point, to think it through! And most are bad at critiques so I would listen, but that forces you to think through the work, the dialogue is great!
This is exactly what I want to watch when relaxing ty Peter.
Peter you have inspired me to order 2 Q1 Mini pens. I guess Moonman based their design on some of the pre WW-II era Japanese Tombow pens. Am looking forward to writing and drawing with my Q1 Minis!!! :):)
