    Whoever told you to add to the drawing textbook before publishing was 1000% correct. A lot of your viewers here, myself included, would absolutely buy a book with just your drawings in it but to appeal to a bigger percentage if everyday book readers you need some substance. I eagerly await the final product. ❤

      ( maybe Peter can refer to some of his video's in his book. I am sure that some of those drawings were recorded and put on youtube. That might be more substance right there )

    Peter, the piano piece at the end was outstanding. I was there when you first picked up the guitar, and began the piano. I remeber the first upload where you featured your progress. It again was at the end of a video. I am always glad I "play it to the label" on your videos, a lot of people have missed a lot of easter eggs. You have become quite a well rounded artist, but more importantly, human . Love you 💙💛

    I really enjoy watching the flow of your work. There's something freeing about it, and it encourages imagination. To me, the left side reminds me of an alien garden, and elements on the right side remind me of an Escher-like castle or the castle described in Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy.
    By the way, I'll trade you my summer weeks of 110+ temperatures for rain and grass mowing any day. (I envy the areas you show in your bicycle/sketching videos.)

    Hey Peter!
    If it's any consolation, I've been trying to create a book of my art for years now. And I still haven't gotten anywhere near actually doing it. My ideas keep changing, and I keep procrastinating it because it seems overwhelming. I feel like maybe I lack direction for what I want the book to actually be, or convey.
    So, you've got a huge step forward on me there lol. I dunno, I hope that makes you see how much you actually DO. And what you do has inspired me for just about a decade now.
    I also own all of your smaller books! So I'm absolutely looking forward to and am excited for this new book you're working on! I'm sure it'll motivate me to actually get my own book made too 🤞
    Hope you're doing well Peter, thanks for doing what you do, and sharing it with so many

    I highly recommend getting a reel mower(the kind with the spiral blades). No engine, no fossil fuel, no greenhouse gases, no fumes, never have to buy gas again. The way they actually cut will lead to healthier grass, as well. The spiral blade reel cuts against another blade at the bottom like scissors, making clean cuts so the grass experiences less stress and heals faster and stronger. Unless you get one of the heavy duty ones, they're also really light; you can probably lift and carry most models with one hand. Being so light, they're really easy to push. Also, they're super quiet; your neighbors probably won't even know you're mowing the lawn. The only caveats I have are that-depending on the state of your lawn-the first time using it might be tough if you have to cut through a thatch layer(but it's super easy otherwise). And they get caught up on twigs much smaller than you might think would stop the blades, but raking your lawn first should take care of that.

    Your piano playing is really coming along, that was lovely.
    I think you can be kind to yourself if some tasks are difficult. That can be a reality for a lot of us, it definitely is for me being neurodivergent. It can help to not necessarily expect myself to be able to do things just because they're easy for others, but find my own way of doing things that works for me, having the right strategies and support. Not everyone gets it if you have a lot of capability and talent in one area of life that might even require a lot of skill, but then struggle to do things that might be perceived as simple. But that is the reality for a lot of people and that's OK, it is sometimes just how we are.

I felt so validated when you described it as selling a piece of your soul, and the wording is also funny cus selling your soul sounds so dramatic/demonic but it rly truly feels that serious😂😂 I too am a total LOTR dragon about it

    totally related to your struggles with doing stuff, happens to me ALL the time! i mostly get through it through my depression and adhd medications, but a minor way to help it may be to try to break the goals down in to small steps? i often feel overwhelmed at doing really small stuff like doing dishes, but i can usually have the energy to do at least part of the task. take it easy, and just do what little you can! in my experience, the less you think about the big picture, the more stuff you can get done lol
    on a different note, you were saying that your friend’s recommended adding writing to your new book; what about the wordles you have on your website? i personally love those, and i think it would help give your book more structure and direction!
    hope u have a good day :]

    Hullo Peter, I hope your happy creating a book of your artworks! I have just one of your smaller books, yet I do enjoy flipping through it! I know getting depth in pencil drawings is more difficult than ink drawings! Well to get the contrast is easier with ink but it can be done with pencils too! I encourage you to pick out some more of your pieces and do the T-Shirt printing thing and see how they sell? Your already doing this with the Spring T-Shirt company right? I like the wearable art, but I usually buy prints and when I can afford it an original piece is so sweet! I wish I knew how to get you more subscribers and get you over the 1Mil mark! You have been hovering so close for quite some time now....
    Well I say SHARE this video and your favorite PETER video and tell everyone you send it to to subscribe and get Peter over the 1 Million subscriber mark!

    I am your sister from Yemen. My living conditions have become difficult and my situation has worsened. I and my family are suffering from very difficult things. By God, I did not speak except out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By God Almighty, this call was written out of distress and distress. Poverty, my world, they have felt it, so I ask you. By God Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, I would eat what I had at home. By God, my brothers, it is my brothers to sit at home. Who doesn't have food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, my father died, and there is no one to support us and live in it. We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''' ''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''' '''''''' ''My brother, my first words are: By God, I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab. There are 15,000 Yemenis between us, and we now owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is not a merciful person, I swear to God, my brother. He comes every day and insults us, talks about us, and moves from house to street because we couldn't pay him rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back. They came back to talk to the neighbors and we got the weekend off. So we swore to him by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live a difficult life. Our father passed away, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw the neighbors eating and standing at their door to offer them bread even if they broke it. And to Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. They closed the door, took them out, and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and Eid returns. I have earned a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I will die of hunger. My brother, I am a stranger to God. Then I ask you to help me for God's sake. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and help me, and if you can, write to me on WhatsApp on this number 00967736246190 and ask for the name of my card and send it, and do not delay, and may God reward you with goodness. All the best for you, my brothers Sagar. Look how they are, help us and save us before they throw us in the street. You will be lost or die of hunger. My family and I ask you by God if you are able to help us, do not delay, and may God reward you well..`/--~«~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡ ~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~: ::” ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I..!i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-.............،🎉🎉
