This drawing really reminded me of the new Aesop Rock album Garbology, and so I rewatched just the drawing part on mute while listening, and let me tell you, it was a vibe.
Peter I just love your rambles and hearing your creative thoughts and feelings. You're just such a sweet kind soul and I'm so thankful that we can get a glimpse into your way of being in these videos. Your voice relaxes me and reminds me there are still kind people out there :)
Kaweco Student is aiming for nostalgia, as it is not actually a real German beginner/children/student pen. Such pens have a special "A" nib (A for "Anfänger" = beginner), which is extra-round, so there is no sweet spot, it'll write without being perfectly aligned. They are also very sturdy and produce a very even line. And wet. The most visible model here in the USA is the Lamy ABC. Note the "A" on the nib. These pens also feature extremely triangular sections, to train young hands into the correct grip. I collect these beginner pens for drawing, as I like affordable, wet, forgiving, bomb-proof, even-writing pens, even though I'm not a kid. For the curious, here are a few more: Herlitz Tornado Pelikan Pelikano jr - this is the best one Schneider Base Kid - includes a second, extra-short barrel STABILO EASYBuddy Faber-Castell Scribolino It seems like every German pen company EXCEPT Kaweco makes these young student pens. Irony.
I don't know about Lamy. Every person in my class had problems with leaking Lamy. I bought an AL-Star as an adult and it still messed up my bags and hands.
@@trivvytriv I don't like the Safari family of pens either. But I really like the Nexx and the CP1 . I speculate that their problem lies with narrower nibs.
Watching you draw, with your resonant voice speaking a stream of consciousness, is so soothing to my wild mind. It’s like you give my brain a focus, while pouring in gentle reminders of how freeing art is, and appreciation for the simple wonders around us. Thank you for these moments of peace ❤️
Damn, I’m on my home from a long, difficult day slightly under the influence of legal substances and I see a Peter draws video and my mood is instantly happy. These set such a chill vibe for the rest of my night and I fall asleep quite often to them 😁
I got excited when I saw my copy of the catalog in our usual stack of mail on the kitchen counter - I wasn’t expecting a fountain pen catalog and then I flipped thru and saw the article! That is awesome 👏 congratulations to you Peter!
In the part of Germany where I live, at least 90% of kids learn to write with a fat triangular pencil, transition to a rollerball pen and then to a learner's fountain pen (with an "A" nib, and the thicker, triangular barrel). Those pens are usually either Stabilo, Pelikan, or Lamy ones. Don't think I've ever seen any Kaweco fountain pen in a regular store, nevermind a beginner one.
I just started branching into new inking techniques and wanted to try a fountain pen but had no clue where to start. I was in the store yesterday looking but couldn’t decide so this comes at just the right time!
Maybe try a kaweco in the store before buying them. The quality of the nibs seems to be fluctuating...Also wouldn't recommend Lamy if you prefer to have clean hands. Waterman has very firm nibs and never leaked in my bag.
I will admit, i do both, just watch, muted, and with sound. It is sleep vids. I watch a couple of cigar rollers for the same reason. Yours are more zen moments as i don't watch the same ones over repeatedly, just watch you filling in what the brain sees before ink meets paper. Still in aww. Thank you for sharing.
The meaning of „Student“ in Germany is almost exclusively university student. Everyone else to that point is called a „Schüler“ which is a pupil. After elementary school when you have Lamy ABC style learning pens the market is dominated by Lamy safaris or pens in that range and style. In high school a lot of pupils change to ballpoints or felt pens. So the name „Kaweco Student“ is bad for international marketing but kind of fits to the 60‘s college student buying a „serious“ pen.
Peter. I'd love to sit down and have a cup of coffee with you. You're entire person as a whole is a vibe and idk. I feel like even an hour will give me the bliss I need to keep pushing
Yes! Thank you mentioning this! I am burnt out and haven't been drawing as much lately because I feel like I'm not grasping the understanding of things like color and anatomy. I feel like my drawings have to be perfect every time or else I have scrap the whole thing. I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way! Edit: But at the same time I feel conflicted because I know if I just stop practicing, I'm not going to get any better and it will take even longer to achieve my art goals. So I just have to push through it I guess :(
Read the article and liked it, "grand-drawings" made me smile. 😊 I'm in the southern hemisphere, very far south in New Zealand, and our autumn is your spring and vice versa. It does make traditional western holidays quite weird here because we're a colonised country and have Christmas in summer, Easter in autumn, Halloween in spring (not that Halloween is much of a thing here). Christmas here could be the traditional midwinter style foods, but could also be BBQ, seafood and pavlova. Decorations can be snowmen, snowflakes, etc, but sometimes we also have summer/beach themed decorations, sometimes it's Santa at the beach in his traditional clothes, sometimes in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. All very weird to be honest!
@@peter_draws From next year we are going to start having Matariki as a public holiday, the Maori new year in July (midwinter). It would be nice to see that grow into nation-wide traditions.
Peter: talks about the changing season and trees.. Me: that doesn't happen here in the Philippines.. The leaves just fall on their own... Peter: When I used to live in the Philippines... ME: WOWW!
I was walking back from my multivariable calculus class and it was so breezy. It was a perfect partly cloudy temperature and the wind blew hundreds of orange and yellow leaves off the trees lining the sidewalk. I almost let a tear fall. I doodle all the time in lecture when I know I only need to listen. I mostly draw loopy curvy lines, and it feels great because it's impossible to make a mistake. We're so lucky we get to see your wholesome and deep point of view. Thank you, and I hope a leaf falls on your head on your next walk, it's like nature patting your head :)
I'm from Germany and yes, we only were allowed to write with fountain pens, I used Pelikan brand, blue plastic with blue ink cartridges and those magic pens that made ink disappear if you made a mistake. We were not allowed to use ballpoint pens until way into high school, if at all. Which is a good thing, ball point just ruins handwriting IMO, too fast and smooth maybe? Sadly I don't seem to have the blue Pelikan anymore, but I have a couple other old ones and one Kawelco that my dad used as a student. Doesn't work well anymore though, nib is pretty used up at an angle, from writing with it for many years. It might have been my grandfathers before, not sure. I just got back into fountain pens since watching your channel, I tend to not spend more than $30 though, and they all work really well. I only use black ink nowadays though. Really enjoy your channel, drawing zen, I tend to doodle along (badly) or play my guitar (badly) while watching and listening :-)
The fly page is that useless first page in a sketchbook. I wasn't very clear about that. I don't know what it's called when you add an extension to a page. I think you could call it a Peter page because this could be the start of a trend. 🙌 Great drawing, and thanks again for bringing calm and comfort to us. Sometimes I think your voice is an audible hoodie.
(12:40): I graduated from Art School in 2015 with a major in Graphic Design and a minor in Illustration. I am now an illustrator in children's education. I suffered from the "who the hell am I now as an artist" syndrome that you are speaking of here. It was a strange breaking of my spirit as an artist that thought I was already "mostly" there, to an all new learned soul trying to make it all come together to make my new art all my own. It was its own form of life crisis, but so worth it. My biggest hurdle, even to this day: composition. I am always feeding my art mind in the ways of composition. For me, I realized that finding your new style (voice?) is up to you rolling up your sleeves and just diving into the work without abandon. Just accepting that it all presents itself in due time and just let 'er rip. Much like therapy, honestly🤔. I totally dig the art nerd chatter. P.S.: I love this pen.
nice to know that you were once here in the Philippines... but it is more nice watching your videos and listens to what ever comes out from your mouth.... as what you have drawn from this video. literally shows and explains what i mean...
I just got the Sailor 1911 from Goldspot and the magazine w you in it is now one of my favorite magazines and I have it safe on my shelf!!! Been a fan for so long and it's so awesome to see you there!
You are right, most Germans grow up with fountain pens. My school pen in the 1st or 2nd grade was a Lamy ABC. After a few years I got a Lamy Safari. I recently rediscovered fountain pens and love writing and drawing with them!
For the people that don't know in the U.S. using fountain pens is almost a dead art and I have 1 (not sure if it's premium or not) and it has black and gold and I can even tell you it's so much easier on my wrists when I'm writing and it feels so good so those r some of my thoughts there but yeah other than that that's a good drawing I just did a drawing from imagination tonight (like 2 of them) on 1 piece of paper and they went decently surprisingly ok 😁
We all agree that your drawing is awesome, but I have to say that I love that you hold your pen in a traditional way (dare I say in a Europen manner?). I bet you hold your cutlery nicely, too 😋
Honestly the thing with Body positivity is the fact that often times it just feels very forced, so even myself being a bit thicker built since always has just been a thing of either being the butt of a joke or being "the fat/thick one", it's even worse with body positivity for masculine bodies, since it's been thrown a bit under the rug and is very frequently exactly as what i described before. The best advice i can give you is the fact that, nobody ever really mentioned your body in these comments, ever really. You're cute the way you are in your own, dorky/quirky and intelligent sense!
Hi Peter! I liked this just for the advice on letting go. I just sold my first art piece yesterday and all of a sudden I felt lost. Like no idea how to proceed. I can draw anything!
First thing first... Nice drawings as usual Peter! :). You are an inspiration! Second, on a rant... "Premium" nibs... lol... hahahahaha. That gold plating won't do anything on how the steel nib feels like or draws. Higher quality control? So are they telling me they do no quality control for the normal nibs!? :| Seriously... what student out there has $60US + $45US (for a "premium" nib) + whatever the converter is (I assume they are not included). I thought students are inheritable broke :). At least this pen has the clip attached I guess... "Student" fountain pen... I lol at that name :D. /rant
You got it right. Natural conditions affect the colors, and last year was notably *less* colorful. If I'm remembering correctly it has to do with rainfall and timing of temperature change.
Hey Peter, have you ever thought about makings your own sketchbook? I made myself two sketchbooks last year, and they're surprisingly easy to manufacture yourself. There's a bunch of RUclips videos talking about bookbinding. You should give it a try, if you didn't already.
Love your picture! The lines look so soft.... I don't know if it is the premium thing and the thicker lines as usual. Hoodies are the best and we all get old and that's ok. A few more grams of wisdom.. :))
You can look at pictures of Marcel Proust's writing journals and he was a master of the fly page apparently. I've never heard it called that but he had them all over the place. Great show.
the trees in my yard are dropping a lot of sunshine yellow and even yellow-green leaves, but especially around sunset i see a lot of reds and oranges. i also haven't gotten out much at all this season :/
It will be interesting to see how long the premium nibs last compared to the standard nibs. How can you get a sports nib? Writing and drawing is normally a sedentary activity... Birdy
The Sport and Student use the same nib. In order to install it into a non-metal Sport you have to pull the nib and feed directly out of the housing as they don't unscrew in those models.
The nibs for kaweco are detachable and it would be interesting if you could dismantle the normal nib and the premium nib to see if the ink feeder differs between them. The feeder is the key, the nib can be tweaked by almost anyone
Your so inspiring, thank you. Your right that stuff has been weighing me down alot! Im gunna try your technique. Some real time sketch vids if youd like, i always enjoyed those. Thanks again Peter, your an amazing individual. Keep it up!
They're all Bock nibs produced at the same quality. Maybe "premium" gets a special stamp or something. Kaweco didn't need this labeling, their stuff is fine as it is. Note, if you're dying to try one, the nib is friction fit and just pulls out of the plastic Sports as well.
I noticed the same thing with the vibrant trees! I took a picture of some extremely red/yellow trees in the midst of a bunch of green ones and it actually looks photoshopped to be brighter.
Hello there, I'm commenting on the topic in the beginning, most people I know here in Germany used to have Lamy brand fountain pens in school. They're not very aesthetic imo but work well, they got steel nibs,I purchased EF and it works ok, but ofc the nibs can't ever be fine enough for me...:D I think I ground it down on a sharpening stone to slim it further (: ok I'll watch the rest of the video now :D
Hi Peter! Thank you for another enjoyable video 👍 I heard a phrase lately called "verbal incontinence" I know it might not be appropriate, but I had to share that with you (hopefully for a chuckle) :) I hope you enjoy the leaves for me, I'm in Minnesota, all the leaves are gone and the snow is definitely here to stay for the winter now.
I always wanted to try a high end nib and a gold nib. like pelikan m600 or pilot vanishing point so bad, I can't afford them, but I"m curious at jus tho much better they really are?! so much hype..
Gold nibs are kinda silly in my opinion. Try out the FPR ultraflex nib, it gives you just as much line variation as the vast majority of gold nibs. It is about geometry and other factors, not really the metal. In general a lot of fountain pen stuff is in the realm of jewelry where reasons for things being expensive is subjective to say the least. Which is fine, but from an artists perspective a lot of it is pretty meaningless. The good news is that there are plenty of amazing affordable fountain pens for artists. My fav artist pen is the wing sung 698 medium with a pilot 1.1mm stub from a plumix or metropolitan swapped in!
A few years back Kaweco got a bad reputation for substandard quality control on their nibs. Thee premium nibs sound like they are trying to address that issue.
Steel nibs have improved the past few years. They have come to the point to be equal to the gold nibs. However, when you use a gold nib, there is a very tactile difference that makes gold nibs a preferred choice, though it is costly.
Except when a gold nib gets to a certain age and it suddenly feels as if you are writing with a tennis ball because it loses all its personality and shape (actually that's a bit how I feel now I have reached a certain age, too).
Just discovered your channel recently and I'm impressed with you total presentations, very relaxing and satisfying to listen and watch! If art was likened to music your doodling would be jazz.
i think the best way to overcome that is to just do it and mess up. or, go into a drawing with the intention of messing it up in the end. you gotta fail to move forward
Hey peter I just bought your 4 books … and I have to admit(and apologize ) that I steal you a bit of your graphic vocabulary, pattern..Things like that to make my own inky speech. Anyway thank you for this vidéo and the others, it helps me somewhere.
love the honest perspective on premium vs standard nibs. Sometime some folks don't feel the difference and if not, then it's ok. Ppl are different. Also, yes, beautiful autumn leaves still around 🍂
I will never ever forget the day when i realized that i met peter on a games discord server and i messaged him if hes the real one! Best day in my life😂
This drawing really reminded me of the new Aesop Rock album Garbology, and so I rewatched just the drawing part on mute while listening, and let me tell you, it was a vibe.

I mostly used parker fountain pens or the store cheap generic. We were told to use washable blue or black ink. I almost got in trouble using brown.
@@trivvytriv I don't like the Safari family of pens either. But I really like the Nexx and the CP1 . I speculate that their problem lies with narrower nibs.

Your so inspiring, thank you. Your right that stuff has been weighing me down alot! Im gunna try your technique. Some real time sketch vids if youd like, i always enjoyed those. Thanks again Peter, your an amazing individual. Keep it up!
Peter what are your opinions on aardvarks?
I admire their alphabetical primacy
They're all Bock nibs produced at the same quality. Maybe "premium" gets a special stamp or something. Kaweco didn't need this labeling, their stuff is fine as it is. Note, if you're dying to try one, the nib is friction fit and just pulls out of the plastic Sports as well.
I noticed the same thing with the vibrant trees! I took a picture of some extremely red/yellow trees in the midst of a bunch of green ones and it actually looks photoshopped to be brighter.
“Hey all, it’s Peter and I draws :)” still the most unrivaled intro of all time
i don't know how to say this, but Peter's voice is high and deep at the same time.
Hello there, I'm commenting on the topic in the beginning, most people I know here in Germany used to have Lamy brand fountain pens in school. They're not very aesthetic imo but work well, they got steel nibs,I purchased EF and it works ok, but ofc the nibs can't ever be fine enough for me...:D I think I ground it down on a sharpening stone to slim it further (: ok I'll watch the rest of the video now :D
Yes, yes they do.
Summary of the video in four words 😂
or maybe they don't.

Hi Peter! Thank you for another enjoyable video 👍
I heard a phrase lately called "verbal incontinence" I know it might not be appropriate, but I had to share that with you (hopefully for a chuckle)
:) I hope you enjoy the leaves for me, I'm in Minnesota, all the leaves are gone and the snow is definitely here to stay for the winter now.
Love it; love it; love it!!!! Colors….YES… just came out of a yellow blanket of tamarack….vibrant!!
@ 19:20 you used to live in the Philippines? When was that??
Your hair looks kind of golden in that lighting or maybe it’s the video settings
I always wanted to try a high end nib and a gold nib. like pelikan m600 or pilot vanishing point so bad, I can't afford them, but I"m curious at jus tho much better they really are?! so much hype..
Gold nibs are kinda silly in my opinion. Try out the FPR ultraflex nib, it gives you just as much line variation as the vast majority of gold nibs. It is about geometry and other factors, not really the metal.
In general a lot of fountain pen stuff is in the realm of jewelry where reasons for things being expensive is subjective to say the least. Which is fine, but from an artists perspective a lot of it is pretty meaningless. The good news is that there are plenty of amazing affordable fountain pens for artists.
My fav artist pen is the wing sung 698 medium with a pilot 1.1mm stub from a plumix or metropolitan swapped in!
hey Peter have you ever used an ink sticks
Couldn’t agree more with the vomit sound you made about the standard blue ballpoint ink 😂
So how are good nibs? How about a comparison from the two, gold nib and the premium nib 😆
Just ordered the Goldspot catalog for the eye candy.
A few years back Kaweco got a bad reputation for substandard quality control on their nibs. Thee premium nibs sound like they are trying to address that issue.
Steel nibs have improved the past few years. They have come to the point to be equal to the gold nibs. However, when you use a gold nib, there is a very tactile difference that makes gold nibs a preferred choice, though it is costly.
Except when a gold nib gets to a certain age and it suddenly feels as if you are writing with a tennis ball because it loses all its personality and shape (actually that's a bit how I feel now I have reached a certain age, too).
@@gaelhillyardcreative agreed. The same for me, also 😉
You're very good at draw-wing and I like your accent too 😄
New drinking game... take a drink every time Peter says "nib", LOL!!!
the Nips fit also in the Kaweco Liliput Fountain Pen.
Hello Peter! Lovely art.
I got the magazine after buying the Peter Pen (and blue crab 🦀 holder 🦀🦀🦀) and yes, it is a dangerous magazine
This drawing reminds of the album cover for In The Court of the Crimson King
I live watching your vids
Hehe, I love that Peter is a surrealist.
You got to have it custom grinded by a nearby nib meister (nib master) :-)
Just discovered your channel recently and I'm impressed with you total presentations, very relaxing and satisfying to listen and watch!
If art was likened to music your doodling would be jazz.
Did Peter move out of his flat?
Peter Draws puts patina on a plastic pen, promptly
Always a joy!
‘Being made to use fountain pens-made to drive go-carts, made to ride mini-bikes, made to ride roller coasters.’
Hey Peter I would like to know how to become confident with drawing with a pen and not being worried about messing up
i think the best way to overcome that is to just do it and mess up. or, go into a drawing with the intention of messing it up in the end. you gotta fail to move forward
@@micahcriscuolo9480 thanks
“ think before you speak “
Should be the name
Beautiful art.
Hey peter I just bought your 4 books … and I have to admit(and apologize ) that I steal you a bit of your graphic vocabulary, pattern..Things like that to make my own inky speech. Anyway thank you for this vidéo and the others, it helps me somewhere.
You look so different....you are looking so..."matured" 😊
(Standard nib + brass shim and 12 000 grit paper) + 15 minutes = premium nib , A + 4 hours = Binder level nib.
surprised to know you used to live in the Philippines.
Can you draw something for Hanukkah?
When you talked about the decades, I thought they were in order because we're in the '20s now.
Hah, good point!
I like using fountain pens when I gotta sign things I always get raised eyebrows 😂 🤣 fountain pen life is real ong 💪
I think the caption should be "Peters fall thoughts: AAAAAAAAA"
love the honest perspective on premium vs standard nibs. Sometime some folks don't feel the difference and if not, then it's ok. Ppl are different. Also, yes, beautiful autumn leaves still around 🍂
Peter draws at his finest
I will never ever forget the day when i realized that i met peter on a games discord server and i messaged him if hes the real one! Best day in my life😂
Legendary, what game ?
@@UnderfundedScientist dont knlw if i can say that xD
@@carloswinchester2623 I'm just imagining Peter being Godly at COD or something wild
