Drawing with Peter Draws: Lessons in Freestyle Swirls

[@michalelena172]

Who needs therapy when you can just listen to peter ramble for 50 minutes

[@lilly9561]

You have no idea, lol

[@jacobcarrico1999]

Literally. I am so thankful for Peter's videos

[@michalelena172]

Jacob Carrico aren’t we all. His voice is so calming and he always finds interesting/inspiring things to talk about

[@desmondpfeffer3647]

i know this is a joke but if you are financially able real therapy is the best thing I've ever decided to do... if anyone is on the fence about it I am pleading you to just give it a try :)

[@michalelena172]

Desmond Pfeffer this is very true and amazing advice! Thank you for putting it out there

[@nicotine5182]

Duh it helps the art grow

[@Valmon14]

Just between you and me Peter, I'm actually here for your voice. It calms me and puts me to sleep. But I also wanna improve as an artist so this tutorial is very welcome. Thanks!

I'm glad I'm not the only one

Peter on that Tsar Nicholas tip

[@TheDarkstar3601]

As an artist, the part where he says about giving yourself "expectations" and such, was a tearjerker. I often find myself giving up after not being able to pull off what I initially had in mind, it breaks me on the inside, that despite creating numerous proud works in the past, theres still that lingering thought in the back of my head like "You are not improving" "that's too tiring to draw" "your style sucks compared to others" "you will not be able to do it", etc. Doodling used to be relaxing, then I realized the talent that I have, suddenly It felt like burden, a challenge, a competition. I sometimes stare at my unfinished work and subconsciously say "that's it?", it changes creativity into overthinking, I think about words instead of lines. I've always believed in my skill but not in my mental capacity, and it relieves me to know that this torment isn't only exclusive to me. Thank you for the video.

[@quantummaxe]

THANKS, YOU PUT IN WORDS WHAT I FEEL!

[@MissMolly3377]

That was great to read, as he was talking about it. It is how I feel, but couldn’t put it into words.

[@seismixx]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@TimelapseExperimentals]

Id like to see this guy decorate a guitar Or an entire fridge or something haha

[@riteasrain]

Check out Peter's videos on drawing on walls and floors, a whole bathroom area. Pretty sure in the last year.

[@coloringanddoodling9751]

How about an entire public restroom !

we cant change your mind if its a fact bro

[@humanfirst11]

He is not Bob Ross, he is Peter. There, said it.

[@ctrlaltdank]

Peter ross

[@cindyforish8081]

That was my first thought

[@makarawash]

We don't, don't give a fuck, and we won't ever give a fuck un, til you, You give a fuck about me and my generation.

[@willfloydart]

Hearing you talking about growing as an artist was very therapeutic, and inspires me to keep creating stuff. -it's better to create, than to always discourage ourselves over how good we're not doing.

[@ivonned32]

✌🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@daftoad]

Drawing at the same time as Peter is always my favourite part of my day.

[@droplive9364]

Draw. A more artfulness

[@skezziee]

dude seriously make more of these. Your essentially bob ross except more personal with the audience. I found my happy place by listening to you talk while i doodle.

[@SuperSaiyanPlanet]

I'm having a really rough week and it's only Tuesday. Peter Draws voice is an amazing balm for troubled times.

[@emmaflores7463]

I'm sick, and today is my worst day and it's not even 10am 😭 so glad I found this video. I have ADHD and being sick can make me over stimulated that's also been really bad. This video is helping my over stimulated hearing.

"It's all fine and dandy." It sure is Peter, it sure is

Hey ho here we go!

[@jackie3969]

Oh I had forgotten how amazing it feels to listen and watch these videos!

[@austinwilbanks4777]

I have never been interested in art, but watching Peter's videos over the past couple months has made me appreciate art for the first time. I love it.

[@LordWhatever]

Not only I get inspired by your drawing, sometimes I don't even look at the video and still your creative ramblings keeps me going on drawing. 😎👍

[@TylerRayJohnson]

Peter, you’ve inspired me to start drawing again. I used to create these abstract style pieces back in high school and haven’t touched the art form in 20 years. Thanks for re-awakening the visual artist within!

[@bash6555]

I didn't expect i was gonna watch all of it. Now that i did, I'm gonna watch another one

[@rowan9047]

These are my favourite kinds of video you do! They bring me such joy, I could watch your swirls and listen to your voice for hours. I also love to draw along with you, you're a wonderful source of inspiration.

[@loaficidev3532]

I’ve been subscribed to you for at least 1year and I can’t believe I haven’t been watching your videos more often. This is so soothing and i love that u sound so carefree.

[@TheJubileeDiaries]

50 mins. We are in for some fun. Thanks Peter.

[@BigDomski]

14:06 that really hit me... I love your channel man, it’s amazing what you’ve made here. Can’t believe I only just discovered you 😭

[@danielthompson169]

I love watching Peter when I draw, his art is amazing and he always inspires me to draw just because

[@travcat66]

I loved this. I haven’t picked up a pen or paintbrush for months. It was so soothing drawing lines while I listened to your commentary. Thank you so much, regards Sue

[@blackdragon6188]

your art is truly one of a kind dont ever think you need to switch up your style. it is beautiful.

[@Azur3Rain]

This is cool ! I am enjoying watching how you ink on paper.

[@polarmoth3470]

I used to watch your videos a few years ago and have recently found my way back to your channel. I've missed your drawings, wandering lines, and speech. Yay

[@geoneo6013]

Dear Peter, I love your art and I’ve taken so much inspiration from your drawings and methods I hope you never stop and keep expanding your knowledge and techniques you’re art is really unique in the awesome way!

[@raccoonman5451]

These videos really calm me down and take a lot of the anxiety away from my day and I really appreciate them and it’s like I’m talking to a friend thank you Peter I really cherish your videos

[@jamiecee4960]

I want to get creative like this. Love this kind of stuff.

[@madisonreed4970]

I can’t really draw, but I have a hard time falling asleep at night and suffer from really bad insomnia. Your videos really help relax my mind and help me wind down. All of my anxiety and thoughts that keep me up at night just melt away. Thank you Peter :)

[@jonathanmellqvist2]

12:21 That is a great quote! Words of wisdom! I'm gonna try and work like that. I've been experiencing exactly what you said lately crafting musical instruments and I really think I needed to hear that, thank you Peter!

[@sarahloffler]

Love this live commentary style. Thank you. Love Bergamot and Sandalwood scent, too.

[@theresa_lili]

You can get them in many colours too. They're water-based and come in fine point and fat.

[@joeblankenship377]

Yeah, it looks nice and crisp and really black.

[@Bee-li8ox]

"Someone knows. Wikipedia probably knows. Wikipedia probably eye, ear, nose, and throats." 😭💀

[@gabrielboisvert3733]

I think one of the thing that draw me most toward peter is his personallity, making everything about having a suiting and relaxing experience, reminding him and others that when expectations are too high, just stop and relax, and make it simple, reminding that art is good to be enjoyable to do in the process, it's just relaxing and suiting to hear actually hahaha. I feel like listening to a turtle, going steady forward and reminding ''all is well'' and ''one step forward, don't think of the next, it'll be there when it'll be time for it''. :)

[@gino_611]

He is basically the bob ross of drawing. So relaxing and kind of visual poetry.

[@3822lulu]

You are amazing and so talented! Thank God for people like you! Love ya! 🙂💗

[@CJ-xl4ht]

Please do book reviews, oh my God that would be so cool. Just you drawing in the background while you talk about books would be so nice.

[@hollybartlett7017]

I love this kind of video! Really calms me down. I've been struggling with anxiety and found this very theraputic. Just discovered your channel and your art is lovely

[@stevesloan5935]

This was very enjoyable. I liked seeing it not sped up, and I liked the commentary. I'd like to see more vids about art books from your collection.

[@dr.zoidberg5096]

Steve Sloan I think you can actually buy copies of his sketch books

[@ginamclaughlin6049]

Thank you for existing and making these videos I love you

[@conduitscon3495]

You, Peter, make me very happy. I love your videos and personality; please never stop making them.

[@kittentoys2051]

What you said about what's the point of creating if you dont enjoy it...man. that's something that's taken me a long time to learn. I was doing commission work constantly and it just...sucked any joy out of it for me. Everything had to be perfect because I was being paid and... idk. It made me realize I don't want a career in art. I'm in school now for marine biology and drawing just for myself and I'm a lot happier. I hope other artists struggling with stuff like that listen to your advice. Because its solid.

[@lexiwagner4541]

I have also slowed down on the art to study marine biology! I still love it but it is definetly too much to make a living from. Art should never be forced, so i chose science instead

[@lionelfrebourg8698]

You are my Bob Ross ! I love your style of art! You have motivated me to start drawing again, Thanks Peter!

[@alaskan_adventurer6414]

The Bob Ross of 2019. I love your videos, Peter. They're so calming...

[@adele2615]

I love your videos, your style, your voice.. it helps me with my anxiety. Your drawing is amazing, but drawing at the same time as you do is better and motivating! I really love this channel (Sorry for my English)

Your english is perfect.

how calming was this video..and your piece is so squishy and full of life and its amazing. UR brain made that like wtf

Just watched the whole thing and enjoyed every second

[@big386austin2]

you’re drawings are really inspiring! you’ve made me pick up the pen again and start with abstract again! appreciate it Peter!

[@nickkopelgaming]

You seem like a chill person, it’s also really cool to know the one style of art I’m decent at can look professional if I put in the time. (Anyone wondering I mean the straight lines and having a somewhat direction, not all abstract looks good but someone like him makes anything look beautiful)

[@mackie9163]

His voice is relaxing and calming

[@franklinsukmynutz5062]

Peter. You are a genuine genius. I love your videos. Everything from your amazing art to your calming voice. Absolutely mesmerizing.

[@jjhenn45]

I've been wanting to improve on these sorts of doodles for a while, and being able to watch you take it one line at a time is really helpful. Thanks for the inspiration, Peter :)

[@davidwalker9594]

Peter I would really like to see what you can do with a brush pen. I recommend a Pentel brush pen if you ever considered doing it.

[@VeryBlueBot]

Thanks Petter I wanted to hear you though process while you doodle, this is very interesting and helpful.. I love it when you do those doodle time-lapses and talk about oranges but this is actually more practical useful :)

[@infernafirestein]

I can relate to your inspiration from smoke plumes. I was always like that too when I was a kid. Also, I like the shapes of water jugs and vases. Thanks for the inspiring vid! ❤️

I think these live commentary videos are really cool in that I feel more tapped into the rationale behind your 'line-decisions.' It was refreshing to hear too that it doesn't always turn out like you imagined, which is easy to lose sight of sometimes in my own work. Can't wait for the next one! Edit: also some of the things you talked about happened to resonate with some thought s I've been having lately so, thanks.
