Is this Glass Dip Pen REALLY the Best Ever? -- Peter the Pen Skeptic
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2019
- I've used a lot of different glass dip pens, and while this pen was presented to me as being "better than the rest" I'm skeptical that it's not just another regular pen.

Here's the marketing spiel I got on instagram, so you can judge for yourself whether or not I overreacted:
"The characteristic of this pen is that it is a heavy, very professional glass pen. Not the same as a general glass pen. It feels smooth and feels comfortable. Holds enough ink to write at least one third of a full sized sheet of paper. When writing, the nib is comfortable and does not scratch the paper. Its texture is harder than the generally cheaper glass pen, it is not easy to break, (it is not easy to break compared to the general glass pen, but it does not mean it will not be broken)
Of course, you can add more experience during your use. Because we believe that you are very professional."
Now reading it again I feel like it's not such a big deal, people do this all the time, it seems like a common thing to do, but maybe I'm just desensitized to all the endless consumerism, product after product being crammed down our throats, each one having to be somehow better than the last one.
I guess it wasn't that bad, pardoning the usual marketing cheesiness.
They clearly wanted to use you to sell their pen by having you shit on the previous glass pens you've used.
I'd be annoyed too.
Peter Draws you ought to make a video using a microscope on your drawings. ( not a really expensive one)
too many words
Seems like there may be a slight language barrier here
Me: **Never watched any content slightly like this **
Also me: **decides to watch this video because what if it really is the best pen?**
Same
Same I know nothing about this yet im here contemplating whether or not I need one
Yeah
Yep, that sums it up. Same here.
I don't even like handwriting and I'm here to see if I need to buy this pen
Me: He's probably gonna do a few generic drawings

Right? It's a beautiful illustration.
That's Peter for ya 😂
This does actually seem a lot like something that H.P. Lovecraft would write about
LITERALLY!
Did he really miss the chance of naming his channel ‘Peter Pen’ ?
EcemU. Omg 😂👏
Yes
Now I’m disappointed
And your wish is granted 🧚♂️💥
He does have a pen called the Peter Pen, so. . . .
At any point in the video it sounds like he’s about to yawn
I will never be able to stop thinking about that
this triggers my anxiety for some reason
My friend has the EXACT same voice.
I dunno how they decide who gets to use said voice at what times, but they definitely share the same one.
Or burp
i'm just always expecting him to yawn but he never does and it makes me so uncomfortable
RUclips: So you're in to music and games huh? You might wanna check out this glass pen.

Seeing as one of they're claims was that it holds ink longer, I would've liked to see a head to head test against one of your other pens for ink capacity. One dip for each pen and write out the same long sentences with both and see which one runs out first.

Well if he’s including his new one he’s incorrect and I thought he was including the new one as well but maybe I heard wrong.
Me: 4am can’t sleep let’s see what’s on RUclips
RUclips: glass pen
Same
Cool
yup true story
Truuu
Truth
I thought Peter was going to say:
“There are two ways you can get me to review a pen. You can send me the pen and I can review it as any other pen. *Or, you can TAKE me to the pen...* “
Me: never watches any art related videos
RUclips: here’s this dude telling us that this glass pen he’s reviewing is not the best
Me: watches entire video
I totally knew there was such a thing as a glass pen, yep...
Peter's videos are quite hypnotic aren't they? Consider checking more out :)

Idk whether you're talking about Peter, the thing he drew or something else entirely. But something about this comment drew me back in after I scrolled past and I have no fucking idea why

That, my good sir, is a lignum aquae. It's an aquatic creature that originated on one of Jupiter's moons - Europa. It was first found by the crew of Juno-156 when they visited the natural satellite for the fifth time in 2135 AD. Many of your grandparents will remember what a tragedy it was when the news got back to Earth that Space X had lost touch with the crew, however, some of you may remember the launch of Demeter-1, the rescue mission: the next tragedy.
Well, when the rescue crew of Demeter-1 arrived, they didn't find the five crew members of Juno-156, however, they did find their spaceship wreckage. It hadn't crashed, though it was certainly damaged - Space X and the Earth's Federal Government won't release the information on the type of damage though.
According to Addendum 11-5 of the records of D-1's mission, when the crew had taken samples of the wreckage to try and determine what had happened to J-156, upon inspection, these little aquatic creatures slipped out. They had been hiding in the water tanks that were inside of the few sheets of metal the ship was comprised of.
Three months later, D-1's vehicle had suffered a major fuel leak as they were re-entering Earth's atmosphere. The ship powered down when no more fuel was left, and you can piece together what had happened after that.
They managed to recover the J-156 samples from the D-1 wreckage that had landed in the Atlantic Ocean, but no lignum aquae.
The creatures have been recorded to survive well in saline water, so they did extremely well in our oceans. Here's the information I have dug up on these creatures:
- They like to nibble at fish: their mouths are so small and precise that they can nibble away at a fish for hours on end and the fish won't notice until they have a sizeable hole in their torso.
- They specifically like tuna: this explains the canned-tuna story. Some manage to burrow their way into the fish, and so when the tuna fish gets caught, they end up staying and getting canned along with them.
- They do in fact get colder when cooked: they can be fished using a net, and their body is such a bad insulator that heat escapes too quickly for us to process, and so we feel that they are cold by the time that they hit our plates.
- They are very similar to worms and squid: due to how they don't have a brain, and moreso have nerves running throughout their body, when cut up, it can take a while for their body to stop sending signals through their nerves, thus giving the illusion of their 'dismembered' body being alive.
- They are indeed comprised of congealed gelatinous substances: this is why they don't have a brain - their nervous system is the only thing keeping them together.
- They don't have vocal cords: rather than 'screeching' (as one story put it) the appendages on their 'head' vibrate at just the right speed as their body opens up to allow air through it, imitating a high-pitched 'screech'.
That's all I know for now.

where can i learn more about this thing
....I never even knew Glass Pens existed until now :o
THIS MANS ABILITY TO DRAW WHAT I SEE IN A DREAM ONLY ON E IN A BLUE MOON (not really) MIND BOGGLES ME
*WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?!*
I’m confused what are you SAYING!!!

Once in a blue moon*
“Hello, i am Tom marvello riddle” is what i thought he was gunna say
Omfg I literally checked the comments to see if I wasn't alone in this
Or harry potter lol. I hated that scene
Kelsey Taylor nope it was just so perfect for it!
I swear I was really hoping that's what he was about to write, but I knew it would be too good to be true lol glad I'm not the only one though
This isn’t the video I expected in my recommendations, but it’s the video I needed in my recommendations.
I love how I struggle to draw a simple damn tree and this guy just whips out some visceral DaVinci shit for the video while he tells us stories
Liked subbed and activated notifications
I've discovered a new religion
Ikr? Like the fact that he just does it so easily first try _in pen_ is incredible. That would be like a month of work for me lol. I'm jealous
Blasphemy!
Join the following of Peter's lines, we have nonchalant chats about nothing in particular, encourage individual weirdness, and love nice artwork in all forms.
What do you mean by "while he tells us stories"? Voiceover was added in post edit. The video is speeded up so it doesn't take an hour. If this was him talking during drawing, he would sound like a chipmunk.
@@szymongrabarczyk3561 Oh wow nobody noticed that, thank you very much for clarifying something that was dead obvious for everyone else
Im pretty sure my cat did cough up one of those things a few days ago.
His voice, his way to speak and how he draws is so relaxing that I'm gonna watch this video every time I have insomnia
I wanna find the guy that commented about the orangutang
you convinced me to buy glass pens.. I don't have a use for them but they cool as heck
Same bruv I love that collection of his, never knew they could be so damnst gorgeous
Dips pens are fun. I like to pretend like I'm some old-timey person journaling by candlelight because TVs and RUclips weren't invented yet.
I have the two middle ones he has (by coincidence) that I bought on Amazon. I don't like how the one center left is made because the dichroic glass is only on one side, but the red with the silver dichroic glass core (one on the left center) is just beautiful in person. I picked the light blue color, but I got my nephew the very same silver/red color Peter has.
I think it's like $12 while the one right center is $8. I use India ink and I do work as an artist for a few buisnes
I hate the sun lol I just messaged my friend and asked him to make me a custom one.
Anybody who wants a cool custom one made check out his stuff on IG it’s like “bare glass art” or something like that. Shoot him a DM he’ll make you a really dope one. Hell even make it so you can wear it around your neck if you want
Just imagine the pens stored at area 51.
Awesome alien pens in there
I'm storming Area 51 for two things now:
1. Serum to become an anthro
2. A pen that doesn't get lost before it runs out of ink
Brutal Noodle dead meeeeeme
@@support16s45 nah it's gonna happen probably
No sharp objeks are allowed in 51 because of interaxion with forein materials
Your pen collection looks like my Harry Potter wand collection.
I’ll be honest you completely won me over with your drawing and the commentary on it. Pen reviews are just a bonus I didn’t know I needed.
Low key thought he was going to say “hello I am Tom Riddle”
Dream Desk same
Same.
Hello Harry Potter my name is Tom riddle
I must nit lie I must not lie
Kinda me too. Was a little surprised to realize that was not the movie I was in.
Right, Peter doing an interpretative drawing of Area 51 is now all I'm staying alive for tbh.
Me too, I have so many free hours before school starts
Lord Howl you good?
Lol.. The heart stickers are a nice touch. That dorky smile made me laugh. Nice vid.
your art reminds me of my great grandfathers. This made my cry. Thank you💛
Peter, we thank you so much for your honesty when reviewing new products, most youtubers just promote products without been honest and it's not interesting at all, actually it's really boring watching an advertising.
I have the same glass pen and I like it, it feels good in your hand, the ink flow long last and it's a beautiful clean pen, in my opinion.
Have a beautiful day 🌸
I can’t describe how much I like that drawing
I didn't even know pens like this existed but I'm totally buying one now so i can share in the fascination of my friends seeing one for the first time too
The ball end could be for balance.
My favorite glass pen is a blue Aolvo I got off Amazon. Perfectly smooth lines from all sides and great ink flow. I loved it so much I ordered one for my friend and it was a completely different animal, scratchy and only wrote on one side. I own 10 glass pens 2 antique and other from all different brands and price points and if there's one word I'd use to describe them its 'inconsistent'. You never know exactly how their going to write unless the person making them has tested each and every one and tells you before hand. Otherwise every glass nib is a mystery waiting to be uncovered.
That was informative. Thanks for the post.
Ok here’s my story for this creature,
The government discovered a new species that looked like it should be underwater but existed on the cloud forests on the tips of mountains. It’s lighted bulbs in the top of its head were moist with poison. They added chemicals and put it in different climates for its reaction. It didn’t react to anything except for noodlers ink. It mutated into a black creature and its long bulbs grew longer more poisonous. When it breathed its flesh opened to reveal a maze of perfect lines and waves. It’s grew and grew. Seemed to never stoped growing. But, no matter how big, how poisonous, or how moist. It was the sweetest creature ever and was very gentle with every living thing he saw. If it trusted you enough it would flip over to reveal belly for you to rub it. Years went by and it was soon being sold as a popular outside pet. The species was called the “Orangutink”.

Souls player you are savage
Your drawing....absolutely amazing! Can’t stop watching you draw it. The fact that it’s just coming out like a geyser of creativity all the while you’re talking about the pen, the sender, people who brag about their products, options you give ppl/companies interested in advertising on your channel, etc etc. Just awesome stuff. Cheers. Love your art.
Looking at this pen compared to ones I have used and your other glass pens, my observations are:
1. I like the relatively large size and long, wide, smoothly graduated and ergonomically shaped section. It looks comfortable to hold and grip securely without fatigue. Many glass pens are too small or not comfortable to grip. The nice grip might be further improved by frosting/etching so it is less slippery, but it is quite pretty as it is.
2. I think the clear glass knob on the rear tip is for balance. Again, I think it would be unusually (for a glass pen) comfortable to grip for writing or drawing.
3. The reservoir (combined groove volume in tip) looks to be in the higher range for typical glass pens. The nib is large and the swirl adds more.
4. I like the design of the swirl and wonder if it significantly moderates the flow to be steadier and last longer.
Points #3 and 4 could be tested by comparing how long a dip load lasts in this pen vs some other designs.
From my distance, I think "lying" is a bit strong, especially since English is probably not the first language of the writer. But I can see why it annoyed you.
Re the creature whose likeness you captured, it appears adapted to the moist, shadowed entrances of caves, where its bioluminescent tendrils, which attract its prey, can be displayed without drying out. It may lurk among those famous cave glowworms and snack on the slow ones, both for nutrition and for luminescent bacteria recharging. And maybe for recreation. The large secretory tubercles produce a fluid with digestive enzymes to break down its prey for absorption.
Re these videos of yours, I find them educational, inspiring and delightful and am a happy new subscriber.
Are heart tattoos by the eye the opposite of tear tattoos?
Maybe you saved a life as opposed to taking one?

The reason why someone asked you to write orangutan is it’s a really good word to write in cursive, it hits all the big cursive marks

Peter Draws’ pen reviews help me get to sleep on restless nights. Usually the third one does it.
Downside, or maybe plus side is: two days later one or two pens arrive from Amazon.
I don’t recall ordering them, but they are usually good pens.

Speaking of orangutan - we in Australia have "Sorry Ranga Day" a day that is set aside to apologise to redheads or 'rangas' for making fun of their red/ginger hair.

With all the red dirt it seems odd that you would talk bad about anything red. I came across an Aussie doing a Bob Ross style painting. Lots of red in the painting, it was pretty funny

Dude for real though
Great drawing and I love how straightforward and honest opinionated you are.
pretty sick drawing :). i have a murano glass pen that i bought in madrid but never used it so much. now thanks to you i have an urge to do some inking with it.
They dont blow glass pens. The process is called "lampworking"
Does anyone else get chills from the sounds of it scratching the paper of like scratching sheets or paper towels with nails.
LOVE YOUR SMILE AT THE BEGINNING!
Dude, appreciate the honest review and how they approach you too.
Pretty wild drawing too💯✍🏼
Why did I not know that glass pens were a thing until this video💀💀
You never studied all the contents of the calligraphy shelves in Barnes & Noble books.
For the first 45 secs i was certain he was going to use the pen to smoke dabs
Man RUclips teaches me so much stuff that I didn’t really know I needed to know in this case pens but I’m not mad
I subbed as soon as you stuck the stickers on. 😍 I love your vibe & that drawing s amazing!
