- A couple of pretty cool pens here, I ended up fairly happy with both of them, both visually and functionally. They both feel good in my hand, and they have some element of novelty to them to keep my interest over all the other pens I own.

man fr dropped a mix tape
🔥🔥
Take a J turn
yoooo this shit fr kinda fire tho
I thought I was going to hate it.
Hooboy was I wrong.
I was very impressed with the smell test.....there's just not enough pen reviewers out there who understand the importance of a pen's smell
I like the way staples pens smell and they are store brand so its great.
Yeah, but he skipped the taste test. So his good work was for naught. LoL.
i've read pen's smell wrong, my bad
@@virtualvirtual2362 I also miss read it lmao
ah yes... the smell test...
I live for that intro song.
TheClasher202 you’re sad
let's keep this at 69 likes?
@Piano Phantom you're gay

Merlin Absolutely uplifting, it was truly a treasure to listen to 🎶
I actually quite like the idea of a pen that slowly erodes to fit your grip. Problem is where you actually grip it with your fingers is metal, not concrete.
Who said that the concrete is the thing that will wear off? 🤔
@@ottttoooo the box the pen came in did.
@@sanitydrop3991 my question was kinda ironic, but if I was you, I'd probably react the same way
I think it would conform to your hand more where it rests in the crook of your hand. But even then I don't think your hand is very abrasive, I think the most noticeable change would be the darkening patina that would probably react differently to each owner's hand and skin oils.
Well he should be gripping in the same place because it’s a fountain pen- you can’t exactly use it upside down
Combining the weight of stainless steel, the price of silver, the brittleness of glass, the wear resistance of mother-of-pearl, and the production cost of plastic... It's the one and only: COOOONCREEEEETE PEEEN!
Matthew Taylor - oooh, you cynic! 😆
lol very true. Sometimes good old plastic is the best material for a pen. It's not wrong that people want to touch something other than plastic once in awhile though, but concrete is one of the stranger novelties I've ever seen.
CaptainWumbo ncan n n n can nbnnnnn n ncan not no jbnn not nbnnnnn
I mean. Concrete is one of the easiest things to make.
@@scottbruckner4653 I mean
It's called "screed", typically used for super smooth glossy flooring. Skateparks etc are made from this stuff.
screed is the smoothing technique and finish of such a floor. You screed concrete. This is a form of cement. It is most likely Portland cement.
I found it amusing you used the phrase “Petered Out”.
I do think my handwriting is worse when using ballpoint pens
Totally
Gel ink is the worst for me, I hate how scratchy it feels
@@DomesticDabbler oh yes I hate those too. I wonder if its possible to write with acrylic ink.
especially those ones that need a lot of pressure to write with, where you feel like you are cutting the paper...
Mine too.
I'm not gonna lie
My stupid ass thought this was a pen that wrote in concrete before I clicked on the video. Boy, DO I FEEL DUMB. Nice drawing, though, Peter!
Fr I thought this too
There is a 3d printer out there that does this.
A Peter Draws video, complete with an original theme song is the best way to start my day. Peter, you're a national treasure :)
In case you were wondering, the type of concrete used in that pen is what's referred to as "high-Slump" surfacer, which is typically used for cosmetic purposes, not for its structural capability. Strength has nothing to do with a pen that's made out of non-structural concrete. It has very little strength, due to how "soupy" it is. Generally the more aggregate (stone/gravel filler) there is in concrete, the stronger it is, and that concrete has very little aggregate in it. It's essentially the concrete equivalent of Lime-Stone. The "Slump test" is essentially where you pour some of your batch of concrete into a cardboard cone, remove the cone, and how much it deforms and sinks down after the cone is removed is its Slump rating. "Low-Slump" concrete is much stronger than "high-Slump." Generally, a drier mix (within reason, of course) will cure stronger than a wet mix. Also, another reason why the pen body is so smooth is the result of the use of polymer binding agents. It's essentially a combination of high-Slump and plastic, which would be entirely unsuitable for a structural concrete pour, but maybe okay for a pen. I'd be interested in seeing how well it would hold up over hours of use under the combination of skin abrasion and the corrosive nature of human sweat. Them using the fact that it will unduly wear out as a marketing "bonus" is a bit dishonest at best. A wood pen body will wear and acclimate itself to your hand yet still retain its longevity, a high-Slump concrete pen will likely just turn black and wear away to nothing before long.
Peter, I just wanted to tell you I love you. Keep doing your thing - you’re awesome.
thank you
"Pens who do yoga" aha love it
Hi Peter!
I've been subscribed to you since I was a freshman in high school and now I'm 5 weeks from finishing my freshman year of college in Colorado. I just wanted to let you know that your videos bring joy to my sometimes dreary days and I am so appreciative of them. I am an artist myself and I have "drawn" (pun intended) a lot of inspiration from your work. :) Please keep doing what you are doing and don't let anyone tell you that your videos don't matter because they do and I know I'm not the only one who believes that. I was wondering, how old are you? I could probably look it up or find it in one of your videos (or have a good enough memory to remember it if you said it in a video that I watched), but I'm just gonna ask anyway here. :P
Hope you had a good day!
Thanks for what you do,
Alyssa
If Peter made audio books, I would stream it 24/7 cause DAMN his voice is so peaceful and soothing
Yup
Him reading harry potter, maybe trying his hand at voice acting 👌👌👌
The pen looks like a mascara tube.
I love this intro music
You sound genuinely confused throughout the duration of this video Peter,
That's every video mate
Red Balloon how he talks u obviously don’t watch him
@@aye4227 nobody said he or she did watch him
Peter oddly inspects pens even sniffs them at times and I'm here like man he really enjoys those pens! Lol
When Hallmark came out with their line of wooden pens/pencils, one of the advertising points was that the casing would absorb the oils from a users hands and would eventually darken and adopt a "tone" unique to the individual user.
that looks like cement, not concrete
Brilliant Cheesecake what’s the difference 😳
Hello Sofi L! "The primary difference between concrete and cement is that concrete is a composite material made of water, aggregate, and cement. Cement is a very fine powder made of limestone and other minerals, which absorbs water and acts as a binder to hold the concrete together. While cement is a construction material in its own right, concrete cannot be made without cement. The two terms often are incorrectly used interchangeably, but concrete and cement are distinctly separate products." www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-concrete-and-cement.htm
@@chrisshirer3573i never knew they were different things
Thought it was wall filler
You guys are fucking nerds
I actually really like your singing you should make an album on spotify
Drew142 he has one
@@janesmith2610 that's the joke
John Putty r/wooooooooooosh
man you're right. he totally should! I keep looking in the comment section of every video hoping eventually he will release an album!!! but I havent seen any yet! Maybe one day!
Sky Luke bruh he has one search him up
Move over PewDiePie Congratulations, Peter Draws just dropped an intro bomb track! lol Good to see you putting those guitar lessons to good use!
I like how honest you are with your reviews. You just say stuff as it is .❤️❤️
I relate to your style in so many ways, but yours is the more developed, and it inspires me to keep growing in my art when I might otherwise be discouraged, also, thanks for the helpful reviews on pens! It has helped me make purchasing decisions.
How lucky is the Universe that Peter Draws has blessed us with original music twogo with his amazing doodley creations! Thanks Pete!
Diggin the new intro, good job Peter!
I think this is my favorite of your drawings so far. The use of the compass really sealed it for me. Super talented, man. Keep it up!!
Aw I love the way handwriting looks when written using a ballpoint pen. It gives it this organic, scrawly look!
I really like this drawing, one of my favourites!
I'm one of those people that loves a good patina on my stuff. The scratches and scuffs on the leather of my TN, the discoloration on the brass accents of one of my favorite pens. It makes them feel like they're completely mine and unique!
I made some concrete ashtrays for a few of my ”hippy” friends using a silicone mold. Once I tapped out the air bubbles, I was super surprised by how smooth they came out!
From around 6:15 to the burp, and weird face into that cut absolutely killed me.
These videos are addictive and somewhat relate-able, I used to have a shit-ton of pens (I worked at a staples back in high school and stole every black pen in the building lmao) and I used to draw and doodle a ton. My urge to draw kinda disappeared when I dropped out of college, but I'm getting an itch from these videos.
Love your art!! Your vids give me so much inspiration to draw more.
I literally just saw this yesterday from IG. Thanks for the review!
I like you man. I have troubles with people at work and watching your videos helps me calm down. Thank you.
Now I want a crystal rock pen
omg me too
too flashy
Perfect for a grimoire.
i never though i will enjoy pen reviews this much :) thx for your work :)
Dude I LOVE your content! Please! For the sake of humanity, keep creating.
The lines are beautiful. Very consistent.
Never once have I been disappointed after clicking on your video, Peter. Thank you!
From Russia with love
I'm in love with this drawing! I also think that is a pretty cool pen.
Nice to see you getting more and more into music, i like it :)
awesome drawing too! waving robo :3
I've just been binge watching your videos. And not only talented but so handsome too 😍
That song was THE MOST WHOLESOME SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN! Peter you are an amazing person
I reallyreally liked this drawing, Peter!
I bought a Jinhao 950, which is a porcelain pen. Heavy, but premium feeling. Good nib. Pretty.
I actually think my writing improves with the ballpoint flowy-like writing style. I write mor effortlessly and quickly
the cut hair surprised me! but good video as usual! i've been considering pens lately because i've been binging your videos, and i just like watching them lol. also, it might've been thin concrete over plastic or something, or hollow inside.
The art looks fantastic, I think this is the closest to a drawing rather than a doodle I've seen you do
Daves Art Book that’s rude
No, it's not.
I can see it getting darker like leather from the oil of your hand. The smoothing part would happen too, just the nature of the material. I guess it would be a benefit due to it would wear in to fit you perfectly like a favorite pair of jeans.
I actually like a clip on my pens because they are nice for storing a pen on a spiral bound sketchbook. I keep a .7 staedtler in the spiral of my small sketchbook to doodle while I'm working in the office. A nice compact easy to manage package
I usually use the clip on any writing utensil to clip it to the ring binder on my sketchbook.
I see nobody talking about that artwork that came out of this!
I would hang that up on my wall I love it! 😍
I love the opening song!!! so good!
That 60's remark for clip uses got me laughing haha, nice review, love your reviews and drawings
It seems that every time I watch your drawings, I end up with Eyverload (eyeball overload) from all the eye candy!! Great stuff as always!
You are one in a million, Peter.❤️
Best intro theme of 2019, hands down
I like pen clips because they secure my pen to my badge lanyard that I wear at work. Thanks for the videos Mr. Draws
With those you’ll always stay “grounded”
Boom boom tish
this drawing progressed very nicely
Yes! Clips are on the way out or should be! And I agree, my writing is worst with ballpoint pens - one of the reasons I use fountain pens.
Nice job Peter. I liked both pens. They were both well designed. The black one looked like a Rotring pen or mechanical pencil. Excellent video.
I like clips. They clip on to my sketchbook so they're always where they need to be.
In my experience, Schmidt nibs are on the drier side. It's not a flaw--it just is. Some people like/prefer that, others don't. They write fine when you're writing normally, but if you want to draw very quickly, the stingier ink flow can be an issue. They're good for situations when you can't control the quality of the paper you might have to use, as wet nibs will bleed and feather much more on bad paper.
seem like good info here, thank you
Out of all your fabulously random intros, this one has to be in my top 5. :)
”Pens that do yoga” - i’m stealing this quote to use in obscure situations :D
Wow, really digging that robot drawing!
Thanks Peter, very enjoyable video ❤
And Peter, maybe some time you could do a music tutorial vid on how you put your tracks together etc? Would love that, I have a 65 key midi ( my piano is getting a little old for recording).
I love pens that patina with age. I've used my old brass delike alpha to break a car window with a rock as a hammer when my glass breaker failed (I'm a paramedic) and the pen saved a life. its patina is deeply wearing in and I love it. It's got so many stories and memories attached to it that if it looked shiny and new, I don't think I'd have the same attachment to it. I love that $12 pen (it has a $20 vintage gold nib in it now, but it's still a $12 pen that I sanded the lacquer off of and filed a notch into for the clip) more than my $1000 visconti or mont blanc pens.
Why not just use the rock to smash the window?
I think Windows are very strong and it would be easier to break by using a lot of pressure on a single point (that's how window breakers work) Also if you're a paramedic you probably don't want to throw a rock through the window of a car with someone in it
Great video. Keep up the great work
Yes, us old fogies used to put them in our shirt pockets therefore a clip was necessary we also used pocket protectors back in the Ancient days.
I recently bought a guitar finished in nitrocellulose lacquer, pretty much for the exact reason you outlined in this video. I think you're on to something Peter!
Choo Choo! (12:15). Just saying. Anyways, I just discovered you're great drawing channel recently and rediscovered my love of sketching and drawing. Thanks man.
Pens, in general, make my writting sloppier. Always preferred pencils.
Hey Peter your music video is AMAZING! Keep it up man! Hope you get a lot more famous in the future...
So glad peter is getting the subscribers he deserves
I really love the drawing for this one
Mr Draws. I’m so happy you get cool stuff. You could put your match box cars in the boxes.
Gosh Peter really does give me big Jack Stauber vibes- I love this man so much lmao
Fantastic review
i am livingggg for the intro tbh
I love the intro song!!!
A clip a must I carry pens mostly in my shirt pocket.
Flipping great!
A wonderful video. I like the idea of a pen that erodes with use. It dhoihow much you have used it. The history of the pen use.
Peter, my kids (12, 11 and 7) love your drawings!
The opening song is awesome
Killer jingle 👏👏👏👏
That song was amazing
Im listening to Mozart while watching your drawing and is mermerising. You should try it in one of your videos in the background. I love the vibes.
I am LIVING for this intro 😍
It's very clean looking in my o(pen)ion
Really like that drawing
Love the song peter
When you show the action as you use the verb it helps teach people the meaning of the word "Post"
Intro was special, I like. Concrete fountain amazing, I want.
robin alexander - Stop watching The Empire Strikes Back. For your health you must!
I like pen clips so I can attach them to my notebooks I take into work for meeting notes. It’s handy
Concrete is a thing because it's porous and can soak up water and its internal bits can comfortably shrink and expand with temperature (not by much, but still). Much lighter than metal and still quite strong (but still needs metal rebar reinforcement for the strong strong stuff).
