Your talk about school makes the idea more comfortable for me. Also dropping out and being much older I get the point you make about people just being there to be there. And now wanting to be there.
I've really loved following your back to school journey these past couple years Peter. I made the decision to go back to school myself a few years ago and I'm really happy I did it. 🖋️🎉
What a beautifully crafted pen, I love the pine needle design as well. Wanted to point out in a previous video you were concerned that you weren’t getting enough dark spaces in your drawings- I think you have really brought them into your designs in such a fantastic way!
I like that you said that you were proud of yourself for getting all A's. The pen looked like it moved very smoothly over your paper and the ink flowed very evenly. A beautiful pen.
Hi Peter!!! Nice addition to your collection beautiful pen!!! Don't worry this pen have inside the cap some kind velum for prevent scratch, posting the cap is ok.
I know nothing about expensive pens. I do know when buying expensive guitars a good tip is to get it second hand and pre-dinged so you're not afraid to use it. Not sure how that translates to pens. But "not gonna stress out about it" sounds like you got that in check. It's beautiful! Congratz.
Peter I found your channel by accident a month ago and really enjoy watching you draw and listening to you talk as you do so - very soothing! Thank you and keep up the good work.
What a beautiful pen! I just spent a good amount of time on the on the Namiki site while your video was playing (I was still paying attention, I promise). How amazing are these pens! My future is now clear to me: I need to develop an art talent, spend years applying my new trade to grow my reputation in the field, and then find someone willing to trade one of these pens for my art! 😊 Congrats on the pen, congrats on growing and refining your amazing skills, and congrats on engendering this wonderful community. Keep up the great work and great art, I hope it brings you many more wonderful pens among many other treasures!
do it peter! i'll share that when I finish a piece, it's value to me is no longer there, giving art can change someone's day with a smile, a trade is just as good. much love.
I love the way your brain works. I, too went back to school in my thirties. So frustrating to be forced to work with a 19 year old whose main concern was spring break and remedies for hangovers. Gorgeous pen Peter! Congrats on the acquisition.
I, too went to school late, 29yo I think. I went for Dynamic Media (think: photoshop that moves) and then 9/11happened just before I graduated. Then Age-ism (they want young people that they can mold -cheap) then they shipped most of the industry off to India and China. I got a bad break, but I didn't have about 1m followers either. (That technology came much later)
Ceramics Class was by far my favorite ever class - both in High School and College. Proud for you Peter at all A's! Sweet pen you got in exchange for your art. 😎 Loved the picture you did today and enjoyed watching you create it. Hope's you get much R&R this Summer. Just chill and be good to yourself....
I love that barter deals are still happening. This was an awesome deal on both sides. Very very cool pen!! And great art created! Love how you really got the darks in this one.
Ooh the sparkles in that pen are amazing. I think I could sit and look at that and move it in the light for a long time! It looks like a nice nib to draw with too. (Congrats on your As!)
Great video, and beautiful pen! I want to aspire to create a sketchbook as full and gorgeous as yours! Any new drawing exercises and doodle tips you’d recommend??
the picture and your packaging are brilliant, and the pen is very desirable. great trade. Edit. That drawing was significantly worthy of that fine pen.
Yup best to trade it, both are hand-made art. Both (yours and Namiki's) will go in higher in price after a few decades, which one will go higher would have different factors but most likely your art will go higher coz' you have a book and quite popular (like Banksys). God bless.
I have a couple of questions I have been watching your videos for about 2 years now and love your work. Do have a plan or idea of what you are going to draw when you start or do you shoot from the hip and just go with it, and about how long dose it take in real time to finish one of you drawing. Keep doing what you do it makes a difference
I know people overstate how "dangerous" platinum carbon ink is to your fountain pens, and I use it in my mujis all the time, but I would still be afraid of filling a $1000+ pen with it
If the drawing was my favorite....I might have made a copy for myself while trading the original. The pen is really beautiful, I hope you use it in good health, Peter. 🌻🖋🌻
This is a lovely pen!!! Be careful with the ink you use… carbon black. If it dries it can clog up the pen, and the techniques used to clean that ink might damage it. I would stick to a non waterproof black ink. Or very regular cleaning sessions.
If you get the chance you should try jewellery design. It is metal work but at a small scale. Totally affordable and possible to do at home with minimal tools. I would like to see parts of some of your drawings as jewellery.
imo flow and movement are key - and even if the other guy made the better deal, it's then just bc of your skills and in some eyes your work beats namikis art. but for real,.. you traded art for tool - as an artist. this is great.
Had almost the exact same experience with going to college after graduating high school. I knew I wanted to do marching band show design and instruction, but there's not really a degree for that, so I was just going for music education degree. After like 2 years, I was like... "why am I still doing this and paying for this when I don't actually need a degree?". So, after taking classes to learn the things I knew would be useful for my actual career (shocking concept, I know), I dropped out and have been doing my marching thing ever since. Although, the last few years I've kind of had the urge to go back to school to learn more about other things I'm interested in, like electronics, programming, sciences, etc. It's so frustrating to me that college has just become something you do... just because... for most jobs the degree doesn't even matter, they just want to make sure you've blown 4 years and a ton of money on school before they'll consider hiring you. Very weird to me. There's some really good technical schools around me that have a lot of really interesting looking classes. I'll probably give that a go when I have extra time and money. The sugar art class has been on my wish list for years. :)
1. What a cool trade. Maybe some day I can trick somebody into accepting a drawing of mine in trade for a Jinhao or something. 2. I had a great time taking a Neon class. Produced one nice "painting". Incredibly difficult to control.
draw in your own style, he’s explained many many times it’s not just a style but a process which has taken years to develop. not just something you can give a tutorial on.
If you have Instagram you can find friends who draw in this spirit by following #peterdrawsinspired. Most of us are friendly, if slightly ignored. I think there might some kind of club that costs a doller or more and you can take a closer look at a handful of the works by this channel's creator in PDF format
Having a Namiki Pen in your fountain pen collection is like striking gold coz it's a masterpiece!
How much is it worth
Gold is a masterpiece? WTF?
@@gunsmokeandghouls well I think the comparison is meant to indicate high value, although the pen looks like cheap plastic junk
@@reginaldforthright805 True that
Wow. Beautiful
Peter I hope you know it your heart of hearts what a kind ,caring, considerate , and most importantly what a good person you are.
Those art pieces look great. I must say I think they other person got the better end of the deal. But dang that pen is beautiful.
wow, great offer, I would have said yes as well!
You are amazing Peter!
What a deal! You have more drawings in you. There should problem letting go of them. You both did well.
Your talk about school makes the idea more comfortable for me. Also dropping out and being much older I get the point you make about people just being there to be there. And now wanting to be there.
Yes, and with that drawing you can make a new favorite drawing
What I love about your art is that there’s so much to look at! Everywhere my eyes light, something new. Wonderful!
I can’t pinpoint why but this is one of my favourite drawings of yours.
It is amazing to see how successful you have become as an artist. Very inspirational.
That pen is gorgeous! The art as well, but yeah I would trade all sorts of stuff for a namiki too.
I've really loved following your back to school journey these past couple years Peter. I made the decision to go back to school myself a few years ago and I'm really happy I did it. 🖋️🎉

Looks more like feathers Peter. Beautiful! ✒

Loved that drawing! Congrats Peter! you deserve all the success in the world
Beautiful Make-e Raden work. The signature of the artist! Definitely wouldn’t post that bad boy. Wouldn’t want scratch that Urushi.
Hi Peter!!! Nice addition to your collection beautiful pen!!! Don't worry this pen have inside the cap some kind velum for prevent scratch, posting the cap is ok.
Ok that’s good to hear, and that explains why it felt so smooth and comfy to post it!
@@peter_draws Enjoy your new pen!!!

That pen is a work of art by itself
This is a very cool looking piece. I like it!
Peter I found your channel by accident a month ago and really enjoy watching you draw and listening to you talk as you do so - very soothing! Thank you and keep up the good work.
A freaking Namiki! A piece of art for another piece of art.
Your pen inspired an awesome draw-wing, more awesome than 'normal'.
What a beautiful pen! I just spent a good amount of time on the on the Namiki site while your video was playing (I was still paying attention, I promise). How amazing are these pens!

With that micro you're speaking right into my soul
What a beautiful pen. I'm happy that both parties in your transaction got exactly what they wanted.

I'm so excited for the stuff that's gonna come out of the clay you touch
Absolutely omg. What a beautiful pen
Holy shit that pen I can't believe it. Namiki makes such amazing pens (maki-eh). I'm so glad you're enjoying art school. I thought it was wonderful.
Great looking pen! Now it's on the top of my bucket list :)
I love that barter deals are still happening. This was an awesome deal on both sides. Very very cool pen!! And great art created! Love how you really got the darks in this one.
Congratulations, you truly earned it the art work you exchanged is amazing.
Yay! Peter Draws! Love that pen, my goodness what a treasure! Awesome art, too
Congrats on the straight As, keep up the good work not only on this channel but in school!
Legend says that the pen even makes coffee for you! Haha, but for real that is a BEAUTIFUL pen and I love the drawing, very inspiring!
Ooh the sparkles in that pen are amazing. I think I could sit and look at that and move it in the light for a long time! It looks like a nice nib to draw with too. (Congrats on your As!)

Notification that peter has uploaded? A wonderful day indeed. Love the art and this pen!
Lovely pen but my heart dropped when he was posting the cap on the pen body
I really like the trees at the top of this drawing. Like medieval dr seuss trees
That is a beautiful pen. Seems like you loved using it, too, because your drawing looks like it enjoyed being drawn.
the picture and your packaging are brilliant, and the pen is very desirable. great trade. Edit. That drawing was significantly worthy of that fine pen.

@9:45 I know exactly what you mean. Another beautiful piece.
What a lovely pen 👍 enjoy
grail pen, lovely peter, and dreamy art
I can't wait to see what you make in your ceramics class!
Beautiful pen, I feel like it belongs in a display case protected from dust and moisture
Ok ngl you have such detailed illustrations I could totally see you making or illustrating a comic or manga or just something y'know 😅
Your art style is very good and it cool down my memory 🥰🥰🥰
I have a couple of questions I have been watching your videos for about 2 years now and love your work.

Tbh I couldn’t tell what he’s drawing but nonetheless it looks cook
Peter has done videos of him drawing in real time before.
Here's one ruclips.net/video/w8ongW5nx_c/видео.html
Enjoy!
@@wer9249 thanks
That’s a lovely drawying
he seems so excited! :)
would really like a video of ur favortie fountain pens or a desk tour . Nice video btw
I know people overstate how "dangerous" platinum carbon ink is to your fountain pens, and I use it in my mujis all the time, but I would still be afraid of filling a $1000+ pen with it
Nothing beats a Rotring
@@jimaforwood743 LOL
I always wonder how a human being is able to such great things as drawing.... 😃👍
God gave us a lot of interesting skills!!
Congratulations and enjoy these are my favorite pens that I don’t own an example of yet
What a drawing!
WOW. that's a $1400 pen.... great deal for both of you!
If the drawing was my favorite....I might have made a copy for myself while trading the original. The pen is really beautiful, I hope you use it in good health, Peter. 🌻🖋🌻
Super cool pen, and love looking into traditional arts!
Side note: Maki-e is pronounced "ma-kee- eh" but you were very close 😁
The drawing you made in this video is incredible. I almost started drooling
Congrats, and good luck
This is a lovely pen!!! Be careful with the ink you use… carbon black. If it dries it can clog up the pen, and the techniques used to clean that ink might damage it. I would stick to a non waterproof black ink. Or very regular cleaning sessions.
Holy shit. This is my new favourite drawing of yours!
Sweet!!!
:D
Peter uploaded!!
Beautiful, in every way
So good Peter
great drawing Pete
They deff got the better deal however now you can make more wonderful Drawings
You inspire me again. Thanks.
If you get the chance you should try jewellery design. It is metal work but at a small scale. Totally affordable and possible to do at home with minimal tools. I would like to see parts of some of your drawings as jewellery.
imo flow and movement are key - and even if the other guy made the better deal, it's then just bc of your skills and in some eyes your work beats namikis art.
but for real,.. you traded art for tool - as an artist. this is great.
great picture
i collect tactical pens, love yours, more of a classy version of my pens
I don't know anything about that pen. But seems like a decent trade. Good luck!
You can always do more drawings.
Would love to see your art drawn into a fountain pen in urushi lacquer and some sparkly Raden artistry Peter

I almost had an anxiety attack watching you open that.
Wonderful frame too =)
Peter has nice hands.
1. What a cool trade. Maybe some day I can trick somebody into accepting a drawing of mine in trade for a Jinhao or something.
2. I had a great time taking a Neon class. Produced one nice "painting". Incredibly difficult to control.
A Jinhao.😂🤣😂
Awesome video Peter!
I was gonna say you should keep your drawing but once i saw the pen that changed real quick and i want it too
That is one hella nice pen !!!
I’ll be starting school again this summer. :) I hope it helps me overcome my mental block for making art lately.
classes you signed up for sound really cool
Please Peter make a video on how to draw in "your" kind of style
draw in your own style, he’s explained many many times it’s not just a style but a process which has taken years to develop. not just something you can give a tutorial on.
@@Perfinn But he can explain his process

@@srujansruja3081 no because that would be boring
@@artcreative.studio Thank you
*magical*
Love that pen! piece of art!
What do you really learn in the art classes? Did it increase your abilities in art by any significant degree?
Beautiful pen! I hope you enjoy it very much. I was wondering how many pens you have, and how you store them 🤔
Beautiful pen. Beautiful drawin
How much of your drawings do you typically have in mind before you begin drawing?
