Drawing with Peter: Gathering Inspo, Trying out a Cool Pen, and Just Scribbling Away!

[@mourneswanderer1767]

The day I reached 50 years of age, I climbed Ben Nevis (the highest mountain in the United Kingdom/Ireland) and felt fantastic. I am now in my mid 50s and rearing to get back out to the trails and forget the aging process completely. ..... You are indeed a very young man Peter! Keep up the great work.

“If it keeps just being successful, you can’t solve any problems because you haven’t been presented with any” that’s a lovely outlook on things I like it

[@sandwichdequesoderretido7437]

I love to see Peter drawing, he is the best

[@kellysartthrob]

I was in my 30s when I had kids. That's when time really flies, and when they are grown I find myself in my 50s, and when they were little I was, like, *young*. Suddenly, now, I'm like, YIKES!

[@mjpete27]

Sweet video Peter! I do not want to disappoint you, but at 59 I cannot believe how fast the years seem to be going bye! I swear I was only 45 just a week ago! It is very wacky the way time seems to speed up as you age. I have also had some health problems and that can cause some real time distortion! I completely lost the year 2016 in it entirety! Between the drugs and time spent in the hospitals I got very mixed up! I believe I am on a good track now, but Time fly's no matter if your having fun it or NOT! Peter, enjoy your life and take each and every day as it comes you will not see it again! Be well my young friend.

[@judilynn9569]

I googled and found out there is actually a scientific reason why time seems to pass faster as we age. It's actually a thing (with us, not with time).

Did anyone else think that when Peter was grabbing pens he may use thought that he was going to use a syringe filled with ink? That could be kind neat actually

[@Sides3Sides]

As a pen addict, I instantly knew that he was going to fill a fountain pen. It’s the cleanest way

[@DaBunne]

we need this. we need this like we needed hamburger painting.

[@CheeseDud]

I saw a VSauce video several years ago explaining that time seems to speed up as we get older because each year takes up a smaller proportion of our lifetime. For example, when you’re two, one year is half of your life, but when you are 30, a year is 1/30 of your life. That makes a year seem shorter and shorter as we age

[@peter_draws]

Oh yeah! I heard that before too, that’s pretty interesting

[@linden5165]

Also as you get older the years aren't so different from each other. When you're young you grow up so much year to year and transition through levels of school, higher education, starting jobs. When you're older it's often more stable and ongoing, the time flies by.

[@user-yv6xw7ns3o]

A day is a darn long time. A month goes by in a flash. A year lasts a century.. and decades are like wormholes.

[@peter_draws]

Something like that

[@judilynn9569]

That all changes once you pass 50.

[@souffle53]

the flower looks like a dried hydrangea and I looked up the gumball and that is what they are called from a Sweetgum tree. I learned something! Thanks!

[@OldLady-um9kt]

Sweetgum leaves, seeds and sap are all edible and the sap is used in bubble gum hence it's name. Hugs!

[@classicaldeb]

Yup, hydrangea!

[@drea1985]

Hydrangea come in clusters of colors ranging from blue, purple, and light pink. The flower he had was yellow. Most likely a basic dandelion. Those are yellow or sometimes they're white and blow seeds across the yard, I just call them wishes because I was told you blow them and make a wish.

i’m in my 40s and i can unfortunately assure you that time does go by faster and faster. it’s a good reason to appreciate the little things that bring one joy, and not take yourself too seriously. i think you’re more prepared than you think though, you’ve got a great handle on appreciating minutiae and having a great sense of humor about yourself. you’re a good dude, peter draws. better than most, even.

Excellent video, Peter. Don't think I've ever seen you give up on a pen; on live video. However, I really enjoyed your drawings in "real time". More of these please - I become mesmerized watching you draw in real time. Thank you. (Oh, and yes; the older you get the faster time will seem to go by. It's a cognitive brain thing; and I don't understand exactly how it works - but it works the same for everyone. Don't worry about it...

[@spidermonkey2903]

My life will be complete once I am able to just fill a notebook with little doodles like this without trying too hard. And out of pen as well? Oh I wish

[@michaellindsey1543]

I once had my 96 year old Great Aunt tell that you can not even grasp the concept in your 30's how fast time will go by in your 90's. . . I think time flying by is directly related to things you are looking forward to. In your youth everything is ahead of you and Christmas and the end of the school year etc etc just seem to take forever to come. There comes a point where you just don't have those anymore and your life is behind you. Life becomes a free fall. . . Weeeeee. . . . .

I’m soon going to finish a long (many more pages than I’m used to) sketchbook. My time with it went by so fast, being so relaxed and unattached with it yet loving the experience. On a side note, I found a pen I dropped years ago. Just a ballpoint, but I love them. Anyway, it worked pretty well! I feel like people don’t often use a disposable pen completely, but it’s satisfying to know all you’ve done with it and you gave it a life. That same pen filled much of the sketchbook!

We called those "spike balls" growing up, original I know, but we would pick up the hard green ones and throw them at eachother, same with dirt clods. The brown dried up ones we'd throw in the street and listen to the loud pops as cars drove over them.

[@shamardaniel4819]

Nature’s spike ball if you will, is from the the gum tree( or gum ball tree). Soooo, that’s true! The name comes from the edible sap that’s was used as gum for the aboriginals. What you have there is a seed pod. If you got it when it was green, you’d see it dry out and release tons of pellet like seeds. Very common where I live too.

[@littlerduck1394]

I just looked up those gumballs the other day! There were some on the ground at my new job and I had never seen them before

never thought of calling them gum balls, seeing that they come from a sweet gum tree, we have two sweet gums in our back yard and my grandparents always called them burs!

I’m creeping up on 40. 37 in a few days. It feels like I’ve been in my 30s for a long time. My 20s feel like they flew by. Maybe because I spent most of them on drugs and alcohol. I felt like I’d be much “further along” by the time I got to 40, but seems like I’m not the only one in my generation that feels like that. And I’m not even sure what “further along” even means anymore. Wife, kids, and a house, I guess, but uhh... I don’t even know if that’s something I want, honestly.

[@mitchelceney4514]

I'm 36 too and have the same feelin of not being very far with life. I too spent most of my 20s in similar activities (drugs alcohol etc) I keep telling myself somehow this experience was worth it and will be of use in the future. I guess we are as far as we need to be. Life gives you what you need, when you need it and everyones path is different... Have a good birthday.

[@linden5165]

Life often gets in the way of what we imagine and plan. Health issues wiped out much of my 30s. Not the journey I would have chosen but I have learned a lot. Still ticking along and figuring things out, like we all are.

[@HuntingSunder]

Just want to say that I really appreciate how you brought out a bunch of random objects. I was trying to draw in your... Well, I guess it's sort of your style? Kind of? The line-y doodles that you love to make? I'd call it its own art form, but anyway, I was getting frustrated with how... stiff and unnatural all of my lines looked, because yours always look so fluid and beautiful, even the straight ones. And then you bring out the pieces of wood and I'm like "Ah, I get it." And I start mimicking those sort of lines. And my hands naturally shake, and as I'm trying to press down as lightly as possible, the shakes come out, but instead of ruining the art like they normally do, they make the lines look natural. Usually I fight my tremors, but your video reminded me that I can use them to my advantage, so I just wanted to thank you for that.
