[@Jierk]

I mean... ballpoint pens are also really accessible to grade schoolers, and Peter uses them all the time.

[@Lewis0_o]

I do stuff w/ em as well! I try to mimic peter's style, but DAMN it's hard

[@1ClownFreakTown]

Lydlazer Shaw I use primarily ballpoint pens, I find fineliners too precarious to work with because I'm a damn savage beast and press on my pens like no tomorrow

[@Lewis0_o]

yeah, i use microns and any pen i can find

[@Jierk]

I mimic the result just fine, but I can't draw the way Peter does, in the order and the stroke and the mindset he has. It still looks fairly decent though~

[@leuzephyr]

I use fountain pens in school.

[@term6ix429]

Someone should send a piece of paper completely covered in pencil, and ask him to make art with an eraser

[@BlauStilton]

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Give an artist a fish and he'll make a mandala out of the scales.

[@dotdot4669]

You don't need really expensive supplies to make beautiful art, like Peter has proven!

[@dotdot4669]

harits andhika That's very true

[@lazyaesthetic9691]

Sarcastic Little Twat I use school supplies to draw all the time and I've been doing it for years now,most of sketch books are just notebooks all you,all you need is paper and a pencil

[@brokenacoustic]

I hated those kinds of pencils when I was in school, tip always wearing out and changing shape, mechanical for life!!

[@cylipelt]

ive been using the same mechanical pencil for 2 years and im pretty sure these things are magical

[@tehgreendino2761]

acousticpsychosis I only use number 2 pencils. I have 20 spare, and so far I've only used one up per year!

[@brokenacoustic]

TehGreenDino, you need to draw more! lol When I did have a regular pencil, I'd wear that thing down till it was just a tiny nub.

[@awesomeguy9573]

Yesssss

[@cristobalgarces1675]

acousticpsychosis Hate mechanical. I always buy the recycled wooden Ticonderoga pencils.

[@KwikDraw35]

Love to see other art channels on trending. Nice video👍🏾

[@kathrynbehrends6441]

Peter, it's the torque from turning the pencil in the sharpener, & not having the pencil straight in the sharpener that causes breakage like you had. Try holding the pencil firmly in your non dominant hand, and the sharpener in your dominant hand, & turning the sharpener, not the pencil.

[@Tigeress532]

kathryn behrends THANK YOU SO MUCH I NEEDED THIS.

[@kathrynbehrends6441]

I aim to please.

[@kathrynbehrends6441]

Trey lyde I went through a pencil binge a few years ago & had this same problem, so I did a bunch of research &, well, this is a solution I've come upon that seems to consistently work.

[@lockstarkingding]

I can confirm this is true I went on a pencil sharping spree my self to test out the 20 plus sharperns I have .but I now love the helix clamp one that hold the pencil for you there amazing

[@mikenel9793]

Okay

[@vivaldirules]

Broken pencil leads fall into the same category as computers that one day just stop working. There are invisible aliens who are responsible for all of these. Their intent is to make humans frequently frustrated. One day, we will all go mad and then they will make their move and simply take from under our noses all of our most prized possession: the doughnuts.

[@mateolitc8898]

J Warren I think computers that just suddenly stop working are much worse than broken pencil lead. You don't have your life stored on a single pencil.

[@veilestatute5089]

[@Conker3000]

I love the subtle sound of rain in the background while you were drawing. It was very calming while watching this video.

[@amybee193]

I'm always filled with so much creativity after i watch one of Peters videos

[@ruven3703]

Peter made me a doodle addict during my junior high school years.

[@soanywayistartedblastin8463]

[@Bludaizee3]

Peter , you're an inspiration to all age groups ! Thanks to the viewer who asked for this video. Encouraging younger people is pretty important imo.

[@PreeminentDesign]

The raining that's in the background is soooooo incredibly soothing!

[@iambatman6201]

That drawing looks so phenomenal love the design very abstract

[@mchloving]

PETER. YOU MADE IT. YOU'RE TRENDING.

[@carbon6615]

I think Dixon Ticerondoga pencils are the best, especially the erasers

[@cvanims]

I love this! It's like the "You Send It, We Skate It" that Braille Skateboarding does, but art. :)

[@jennabees1049]

Your channel is making me draw again. Thanks Peter!

[@gothicfeline]

I wound up switching to those grindy pencil sharpeners with the handle you turn, like were mounted on the walls of my elementary school. Holy crap they are a game changer. Highly recommend, do try.

[@drinkzcoffee5183]

gothicfeline - my mom, a teacher, had one mounted in my childhood home. pretty sure it saved my homework. loved that thing!!

[@pixyireproductions]

gothicfeline 90% of the time when the people used those at any of the schools I went to the sharpener would just chew your pencils up or just straight up not work

[@dysenteryworld]

All of my classrooms growing up had a wall sharpener by the door and a plugged-in electric sharpener in the back. I always used the wall sharpener because I felt like it was more authentic to "school" and in my opinion, it worked better. Everyone else would use the electric one...

[@InkAndPoet]

I prefer those too.

[@pandatv3061]

DUDE YOU'RE TRENDING CONGRATS

[@jamiemiller5705]

Great job using only the basics! I KNEW you could do it. I love your drawings and the stories you tell while you're drawing. You are my inspiration! Love ya, Peter. (Jamie M.)

[@constantiniandolino3071]

it's just extremely relaxing to listen and watch him draw..

[@lifeimitatingdeath3608]

The light rain sound in the background is a nice touch Peter.. Love your art brother. Never stop, unless you want to.. Then stop, but not for long or i guess you can stop for a while.. Well do what you do P-man..

[@hydrodwarf]

Peter I forgot to complement you on your free-flowing organic style and you're absolutely right when you say the first mark is the hardest when you stare at a blank sheet for minute after minute. You're an inspiration to all & I too used to love doodling semi abstract stuff with the HB pencil which was our schools standard. We also loved creating mini flip animations on the corners of all our books by seeing the indent from the previous image. - just line drawings of cars jumping over ramps and colliding, heads bulging eyes and exploding etc . Wish I had those old school books now. The nostalgia. Anyways, keep creating.

[@smoekee]

The rain sounds make this video meditative. More so than usual.

[@MorganGrammer]

Light hearted artistry is the most fun

[@bakie692]

Talking about doodling in school, it was getting towards the end of the school year and barely anyone brought anything but a pen and we'd sit around and just chat for a good few hours each day. One day I brought a notepad with me to doodle and my friends wanted to doodle too but I didn't want to tear out a page so we all sat around and shared one A4 space and drew our own things, every so often rotating the page and doing a little modifications of each others doodles and just having fun with it. I kept that one page, I still have it 3 years later, it's a great memory I have and I'm glad it's one I could keep.

[@Kittygirl33]

Doodles are wonderful. You can doodle something amazing. Or you can doodle something so bizzare it makes people want to forget it ever existed.

[@milo1685]

I'm really glad this is on trending I love your channel so much

[@alijahpelletier]

this has been one of my favourite videos in a while, because I feel this applies to my life in a big way. I always do my drawings with pencil, and I have lots of fun with it. But this year for my birthday my parents said they might buy me some high quality pens so that's gonna be exciting :) Have a nice day Peter!

[@londramoreno847]

I really like the smell of a lot of art supplies like crayons, sharpies, and new notebooks. Am I weird?

[@mmaantj]

Peter literally opened a package with erasers to smell them Were all weird

[@henkdevries7634]

I never used to draw. Loved watching Bob Ross. They say you are the new Bob Ross, and I get why. You are just as free, full of happy little accidents, it's al good. I started drawing as well. I'm no good, but I'm having tons of fun. So thanks for that :)

[@faithgermany]

I laughed so much at your efforts to sharpen a cheap pencil. When I was at school I gave up pencil sharpeners for life! My father could see my predicament. He sharpened all my pencils all the way through school using a pen knife or other very sharp blade. Half a century (actually longer) later I still use a knife on pencils to get a really long graphite you can lie on its side to shade with. Thanks for all your delightful videos - I am an avid fan!

[@meadowdancerwow]

You got me back into drawing a couple years ago. Lot of fun.

[@Used_Suit]

Wow someone with actual talent is trending.

[@helenswatermelon2133]

It's called #2 Because #1 pencils were made with real lead but that's not sustainable or Healthy so that started making them with Graphite

[@nedinnis6752]

I did not know that, nice trivia.

[@joseortiz-fw7by]

Do the draw with my feet challenge! Or maybe on your foot would be a cool change

I snap the lead while sharpening pencils with that sort of sharpener, too! I used to think it was because I am lefty, so it's nice to see that righties have the same trouble. 🙂

[@EzraWolves]

When I was in school my teachers had us get binders, big binders that got heavy through out the year… had like 7-12 binders. Wish they just allowed us to have notebooks and something lighter to carry.

[@marandabebee1580]

Peter, I sent you an email some months ago, but I am not sure if you got it. So, I hope you read this comment. You always talk about not needing expensive or fancy art supplies to draw. I believe that is true, so i have a suggestion. A friend of mine and I like to draw. She is especially hood at watercolor, however i cannot afford great watercolor supplies. So, instead, I started painting/drawing with food coloring, or food dye. You know, that comes in the little drip squeeze bottles. A box will typically come with the primary colors. I mix them and dilute them in water. I would really enjoy watching you try this too.

[@popples9701]

That sounds awesome

[@drai-chillabitokay1857]

[@hatrian]

OMG PETER IS ON TRENDING!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joannetiffany8047]

I did this all the time at school, anything in my pencil case i would use for art as in classes id doodle all the time. because of that I improved loads with shading and drawing. I've always said learn the basics with 1 material and improve before moving on with another.

[@Xinxyl]

In regards to the pencil lead breaking when it's sharpened. I prefer to sharpen all of my pencils with a knife, but obviously knives are not allowed in school. If you have to use a pencil sharpener, make sure to not over sharpen the pencil, especially at the start - just take it out when it's sharp "enough", you're not trying to stab a person. Pencil lead is very brittle since it is made of graphite and clay. Try not to drop the pencil or hit it against things, this may break the lead inside, and make sure to hold the pencil straight (horizontally) when sharpening. Sharpening with a small knife is still the best way to go if you need to use a non-mechanical pencil though. (College ruled paper is always superior. I've filled in a bunch of tests with a B pencil before and they worked fine, I guess there's a range for the scanner to detect them.)

[@deeznuts4211]

Hey peter I just found out about ur channel and I never thought I'd be into art but you really got me into it and I love the type of art you do and how simple yet complex it actually is! I am highly considering buying some of your art to start to collect! Keep it up man!

[@shelbysucks4226]

You are just so inspirational! Love your videos! :D

[@BoomDYadda]

"Art doesn't take fancy equipment, Art can happen anywhere, it'll happen everywhere, it's on the walls, dear God it's on the walls!" said the schizophrenic.

[@VampiricVik]

Here in Argentina schools usually ask for a special kind of notebooks too, they are called "papel araña" (lit. spider paper) and they have a papel cover with nilon over it that forms a spiderweb texture (and some of them even have little spiders and flies too). I have absolutely no idea why they ask for those but everytime I see them I remember my days in elementary c': As always, your videos are super fun to watch and I love your voice lots!

[@frostedjade]

Try twisting the sharpener not the pencil to stop breaking. Though if the graphite is broken already it can't be helped lol. Oh the things I learn from "How it's made"

[@xukuri3551]

The best part of having new stuff is smelling them :D

[@maddyt710]

This should be a series!

[@adamwest8711]

It sounded like it was raining really heavily. Plus, nice drawings. Overall, a happy viewing experience. Would recommend to a friend or colleague or stranger, if that stranger appeared friendly.

[@greyareaRK1]

I'm trying to imagine what my grade 5 teacher would have thought if I'd produced drawings like yours in my notebooks. I could smell all the supplies.

[@tylerguitar12]

Hey Peter. I challenge you to draw a piece of art using just a compass with which ever pen or pencil you so dearly desire. Do you accept challenge?

[@someguyinahoodie3856]

wow, terrific video man! you just got another subscriber, I'm definitely gonna go watch a bunch of your content. Also, do you take requests from fans? Or let's say, recreate fan drawings? Just wondering, anyway, keep up the great work!

[@emmav6529]

[@bananaunicorn2757]

Yooo, my ol' pal Peter got on the trendy bendy page. Keep doodlin' my noodles (>^-^)>

[@iwannabeold215]

your getting on trending im so happy for you

[@hydrodwarf]

Hi Peter. I eventually found out, during my Illustration course that HB is the middle meeting point between H=Hard & B=Black so the 2H, 3H etc has more graphite/lighter and 2B, 3B etc has more lead and, as you know, is darker and great for contrast. I personally use between 4H through to 9B even just every 2nd or 3rd pencil between that range is good. Watercolour pencils are great in the grey range and wet brushes to pull the dark 9B pigment away and use a water spray bottle on fine mist really close to some dark pigment again gives great results. Just to finish off I want to tell you about my favourite material, which you've probably heard of; scraper-board or scraper-card which comes in about A2 sheets and has a fine black semi-matt finish and you use hand held scalpels to etch away the surface to reveal the white underneath. I prefer number 11 scalpel blades and you can stipple, hatch and the best part is you can colour the white lines with a fine watercolour as it won't show up on the black if you go out of your etched edge. I hope I'm making sense. Its a fantastic medium and a bit pricey at AUS$20 a sheet but well worth the effects and experimental fun that it can yield. Hi from Australia.

[@sunshinebakery_melinda]

@PeterDraws To avoid the led falling out you have to sharpen with a straight blade by scraping off the wood in downwards motion towards the led! Best way to sharpen a pencil!

[@MrJSlimify]

A lot of times the lead within the pencil already begins to fracture from dropping or getting bumped around. When you sharpen it, it will eventually release the piece that is broken inside the pencil chamber(?) I'm not saying how it always happens, but I just recommend trying to keep care of your pencils :)

[@Topself24]

In first grade my classmates and I loved drawing Sonic the Hedgehog. It was cool

[@kimmygirlll]

To avoid breaking off the led in the pencil, it is best to use a sharpener with helical blades. Especially usefull when using prismacolors colored pencils, but I suppose it works better for all kind of pencils.

[@yopiedtv8817]

[@adildraws]

I have to try this. You did a good job.

[@thelight8368]

those cheap bic mechanical pencils are love

[@alexisocasio6739]

Just a few fun facts for anyone who didn't know and was curious; HB pencils are used specifically for standardized tests because anything harder (H, 2H, ...) would be too hard to erase (in case you needed to change an answer) and anything blacker (B, 2B, ...) would smudge very easily, which would may also end up showing as a wrong answer (HB is the happy middle); #2 and HB mean the same thing and are the same hardness (as he stated in the video), and just use a different labeling system (the Hs, Bs, HB, and F being one and #s being the other, which are equivalent and mean the same thing by a different name); and one reason the wooden pencils used in school break so easily is because the lead inside is already broken somewhere, the lead isn't centered in the wood casing, and/or the graphite isn't glued in properly, which means you'll probably sharpen the pencil until it's half gone just to be able to use it without the lead falling out. I would suggest using decent pencils (when you can) and TRY NOT TO DROP THEM (since graphite is super fragile and will break if you so much as look at the wrong way). The last part also applies to colored pencils, so take care of your pencils and hopefully they last a while. Hope this helped someone.

[@jrcarino4022]

Hello peter I love your videos your a very good inspiration to me and many others Keep these amazing videos up

i like the rain in the background

[@AnastasiaDraws]

I put thumbs up first and then only watch this =D Awesome!

[@charlomakes]

Am I the only one who puts the small pencil into the bigger side of the sharpener? 😂

[@spaceedementia]

as far as the pencils go, my children are asked to buy Tichonderoga brand, and I think it's bc the lead is not already all broken up inside. just a thought. beautiful comp doodle 💙

[@TheLouwyan]

You can avoid the lead comming out by sharpening your penicil with a knife. Throw out the sharpener and use a box knife or a kraft knife. With just a little practice you can make it really sharp, of if you need (maybe for shading) a more shisseled point.

[@singerofsongs468]

My science teachers always had us get composition notebooks because they stack nicely and you can't tear out pages. Supposedly it kept us from throwing away data and stuff although labs were never that serious.

[@piperfox74]

ARGH! The broken lead. That happened to me way too often.

[@es-ch8kj]

i laughed so hard at the eraser sniffing

[@kelvino1237]

am i the only one who discovered that it was raining at the end of the video. Who thought that their headset was faulty?

[@Riaxaz]

Teror Byte didn't even notice till I saw your comment. XD

[@Hi-iv7jb]

i noticed from start

[@cryosage]

that crackling in the background reminds me of a light rain, or my mother kindly cooking bacon for me....

[@emilygillis8679]

To help with the pencil sharpening issue, try to not drop them because when you do the lead inside breaks causing those little pieces when you’re sharpening

[@jasong5913]

If you want the lead in your pencils not to break the trick is not to drop the pencil on a hard surface, like the floor.

[@arcspark9269]

Dixon Ticonderogas were the best school time #2s ♡

[@breadbowl400]

Peter! I was told by an art teacher who had us make our own sketchbooks that the reason we couldn't use spiral bound sketchbooks was because when stacked, they get all messy and caught in each other sometimes. I assume that's the reason composition notebooks are preferred?

[@peter_draws]

That's actually one of the first decent reasons I've heard. I don't like it because it doesn't effect me at all, the notebook stacking, but it makes sense.

[@Blastsniper]

Broken pencil leads is because of shipping, those things get tiny cracks and break off when you apply light pressure. Its the same if you drop a pencil, its gonna frustrate you with the loose leads. I recommend pure graphite pencils if you want to live with a tiny worry less.

[@joneaeaeeaeh9325]

I like pencils because they can easily shade just by pressing harder of softer

[@DUMBOYCASTLE]

I had problems with focusing or caring in school my entire life. I would daydream and literally draw in the middle of every class. It got to the point where I got real good and when I would get caught my teacher would rip every drawing in my notebook and throw them in a garbage.
