Four Abstract Pencil Drawings in my Sketchbook!

- Let's just draw with pencils! I'm in my doodle mindset here; I don't plan it out, I start and just see where it takes me. However, the natures of pencils is that you can kind of be in the planning stage the whole time, which is much different than the pens I often use.

I very much enjoyed smelling and tasting this video. Thank you Peter!
pencils make your drawings look even cooler somehow!! all the different textures are so satisfying, i feel like i discovered a sixth sense with that intro...
with microspic lenses makes the pencil gliding across look like a river forming with that pencil paper
I loved the beginning part with the close up, so nice to see the texture of the pencil and paper, would love to just watch a video in that view 😅
The close up in the intro was soooo satisfying
I do hope that you keep showing and sharing your art and thoughts with us. I certainly enjoy your way of working through your life!
I just started playing with cold wax, but now watching you…..I am second guessing myself. You make pencil look so easy and fun.
It’s true. You Can’t do the same things with pencil. No one can because of the differences. That said, you’re already awesome with pencil and will no doubt keep getting better. Thanks for sharing this lovely video!
Love the close up shots!
Very cool pencil drawing! I love this series you are sharing here and on FB!
I tend to believe that there are no mistakes in art. All art is beautiful.
Happy accidents 😜
For a while now I have been sketching in pencil and then coming in with pen (normally fine liner). But I have been noticing that it is common for me to enjoy the pencil lines more than the pen lines, yet I always feel compelled to do the pen work otherwise the piece doesn't feel properly finished, as if I am seeing the pencil sketch as a lesser form. Ironically I don't look at other people's work the same way.
Much love Peter I'm glad you're still drawing
Wonderful as always ❤
Pens and pencils I love them both
Can't nearly explain how I needed this or how it did what I needed, but it warmed up my brain just before it froze in the cellar. It is 183 days until Halloween. Thanks, Peter.
Ahh, time to brew some tea and relax. Thank you
The second piece of paper trick has always worked well for me! Or if you also work from left to right you won't smudge
I've just recently been getting back into wood pencils for writing, I might have to break out the sketchbook too and see what happens!
One of the most satisfying experiences, for me, is drawing with graphite on hot press cotton watercolor paper. Soft and smooth with plenty of feedback for control. If they ever make a digital drawing tablet that can match that, I'll become a digital artist.
I recall the time you stated unequivocally the disdain for graphite! But I'm thrilled to see your incredible talent using my favorite medium. 😊
I really love the third piece, Peter. Throughout the whole process you had my thinking of hiking. It reminded me of the wonderful mix of plant life, rocks, and the occasionally little stream or waterfall. It made me feel really peaceful and calm. Thanks for sharing :) happy drawing! 🫶🏻
Hi Peter, I enjoy your work and look forward to your posts. I love pencils because they loosen up my work (I don't feel the perfection monster as much). The "less smudge" product you are looking for is glassine - it comes in both sheets and rolls. They might have some at the college you could try... as well as mahl sticks (normally for painting) which you can make yourself if you prefer your supplies to be more personal. Take care and kind regards...
Great video! I enjoyed watching all the drawings come together.
Lovely!! I sure liked the taste of this!
The journey of drawing continues. It's been a while since I worked in pencil so this is nice to watch.
I love the tooth of the paper in the first part of the video.
It reminds me of skin.
Anyway, it was a lovely video.
You could also use a fine tombow eraser to put white highlights in to the graphite.
I've avoided pencils, for the most part, for far too long. Thanks for giving me something to consider.
Working on a pencil drawing while I watch this. Listening to your videos while I work makes it so much more relaxing and really helps my concentration. Do you ever plan on doing another video where you draw your feelings on post-it notes? I know it's been a while, but your first two are really excellent and I would love to see more. Thanks Peter.
I feel the same about pens...maybe its because I never had such growing up. For me, just having a simple #2 pencil was a huge treat. Most of the time, I had to make my own with burn sticks. I really loved the organic-ness of the third drawing. Keeping hands off paper will prevent smudging. I've never used an artist's bridge (mulle). It's just keeping hands off paper.
With the recent uptick in pencil videos I too was thinking about the time you mentioned not being into pencils as much
Graphite requires skill building at smudge mitigation. A maul works well for this. Ink is good for just putting it down an living with what you put down. Erasers with graphite will cause smudges that you will chase until you quit in abject disgust! I hate charcoal. I love using dip pens in my studio for sketching and drawing. My best stuff comes when I just get into the drawing and let the drawing evolve to reveal what it wants to be. It gets pretty freaky but is ultimately satisfying when it is done. Realizing when it is done is the hardest part. Good job on your drawing today. You are really expanding your confidence. I really enjoy your work!
Love your work Peter and especially like seeing you use a pencil...I'm a ukulele maker that collects pens and pencils. I recently found a very cool, old (1960s) mechanical pencil in a box of stuff that belonged to my Dad. The pencil is double ended, one red and one black . The words "Skilcraft- US Government" is written on the side of the pencil. Looking it up I was surprised to see it was made in the 1960's in your town, Greensboro NC by Industries For The Blind and the company is still making pens and pencils to this day. They've made pens and pencils for the government for over 50 years. Thought you would find that interesting . Keep up the good work, I love your sketchbooks.
That is very cool! Yes the Industries of the Blind building is right across the street from where I go to school
Dude...the third and fourth ones are great. Number four reminded me of the city in Lovecraft's actual story "call of cthulhu".
Kinda inspired to go back in time and try pencils again
You should make a painting next, would love to see your style on canvas!
Looks great from my house, keep exploring.
You moving the tip really fast in the close up at the beginning made it look like it was wiggling XD
Haha yeah, some weird framerate thing
@@peter_drawsIt looked cool though! :D
1. Another way to keep your hand off the paper is to use a hand bridge (clear plastic turned down a couple inches at each end).
2. If you put a gray ink, like Noodler's Lexington Gray, you can get more variable tones by building up ink sometimes and less elsewhere.
It was a revelation to me when I discovered that intenional smudging can greatly enhance a pencil drawing. Deliberate erasure can encorporate a different kind of look as well, which I've used in exploring the fascinating concept of negative space.
I love all of your endeavors and have greatly enjoyed following you along your journey of discoveries and listening to you talk about talk the kinds of things you wonder about has been really cool.
You are a beautiful soul, Peter. Thank you for sharing
i guess i have to stay awake another 8 mins thanks to peter 😂
you know i love pencils, man
great video I want to use my pencil more now
Peter!! 😊 It was awesome to hear the joy in your voice that this old art medium brought to you?
~❤~
Yeah, it was like your heart had wings through that lead and paper as your hand did it's thing in the "Peter" way.
Hey? I was the one who sent the DM about the frog site and "for Dan" to you in Instagram. Hope you got it and laughed! :P
Looks good
If u use a black or gray waxy color pencil you can get all the gradation and subtly with pencil without any of the smudging. Won't be able to erase though...
Hullo Peter, It is always a pleasure to watch your videos there is so many things for the senses, sight, sound and feelings yes feelings!
Thanks Peter. Please take care and have yourself a lovely day!
I subscribe to you specifically because of your speech patterns
you should get a powdered eraser bag for the smudges
Hello 👋🏻 i am sure another story time style video, where you read a story, would go down a storm
It would be interesting to see you model one of your drawings in rhino if you haven’t already done that
Looks 3d nice
You need a workable fixative, and use it as you go along, or your drawing will get smeared if you go into already worked areas at all. Or rotating the sheet, too, your hand will smear he drawing.
That's why i get discouraged working with pencil.
There may not be any tongue twisters about a 6th sense, but there WAS that Bruce Willis movie…
I enjoyed that. Have you seen it, Peter?
Peterrrrrr!
And a pencil nevers bleeds through ruining a previous drawing by mistake.
There are gloves that are silky and leaves your thumb pointer ,and middle finger.
Your art tastes like mystery flavor candies. /pos
Lovely video. What kind of camera are you using for the close up shots? I’d love to get something like that for myself
It’s a little USB microscope thing, like $30-40 on Amazon
@@peter_draws thanks!
@@peter_draws I loved that close up part at the beginning too. Very cool to see it so sharp and close.
2:05 is this a spoiler of actually publishing an artbook? 🤭🤭🥰
Yessssss..... Keep using the pencil and your journey to the Dark Side will be complete!😂😂😂
Nice drawings, and really liked the sculpture and ceramic work on your instagram. Those cups are amazing 🤩
We do have lots of other senses:
interoception - the sense of our own body state (which could be broken down into hunger, thirst, pain, temperature, heart rate)
neuroception - sense of safety
proprioception - sense of body in space and muscle force
vestibular - sense of balance
(They're very useful to understand for those of us who are neurodivergent or have sensory differences/strengths/challenges for other reasons 😃 )
Hey
Q: do you still use the sonic cleaner? Any updates with using it?
Thanks
No, haven’t used it in a long time!
@@peter_draws Ok. Thanks for the update peter
sixth sense could be the sense of time
HOW are you do this? Abstract is so beautyfull but I have no idea how to lern to do it 😊
Peter: Have you tried silver point?
hey Peter I've been watching since I was like 9, 19 now, love ur vids sm. they help me with panic attacks. I don't typically get the inclination 2 comment but I'll ask here, what's the sketchbook u used in all these pencil vids! :+) thanks peter
I don’t remember how or where I got this sketchbook. All I can say is on the back it says “CACHET by Daler Rowney”, but googling that doesnt give me similar-looking sketchbooks at first glance, so good luck.
Tudo bem
The true work of art was Pete the whole time
Has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like William Makepeace Thackeray
5:42 their is hand sleeves that help reduce smudging i hear it helps
We do have far more then 4 sense. The sens of felling the cold and the hot, the sens of knowing where we are in environnement and wezre the parts of our body are. All the mental capacity, understanding the people’s feelings and so on.
I was great with pencils but I am a massive smudger 😢
🤣🤟🤣
Pencil.
In my unprofessional opinion, you are still using pencils as if they are pens. The joy in pencil drawing for me is the ability to make intense line variations, to start out with a light touch and then shade in the darker parts, or vice versa. It appears that you are using a pretty heavy hand and not really taking advantage of the ability to make nice faint lines, too. Also you're not utilizing the side of the lead for shading purposes, another opportunity pencils give you.
Hope you find that more helpful than annoying! Cheers, Peter. Always nice to see you.
Христос Васкрсе 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇷🇸♥️🇷🇺🙏🙏🙏
ew dude.
gross dude
There is nothing wrong with pencils.
Graphite, charcoal, colored, fineliner, technical, etc, etc,etc.
It's a tool, and I might say an important one.
Like brushes, stumps, q-tips, etc, etc, etc, tools allow you to create much more efficiently and effectively.
I love mixing media or just choosing one. Either way, use your tools, and your creations will be better.
