Drawing with Peter Draws: Getting Colorful with Markers and Ink

  • Color is always slowly building up in my brain. I sit around drawing in black and white, and eventually here I am, with color bursting through the seams. It's not very polished or refined, but it's there and I have a good time with it. If I'm lucky, the urge to use color will stick around long enough to allow me to get a little better at it.
    As far as the colors, I think I got them 9/10 close to reality, they weren't as far off as I expected, seems like it was mostly the monitor I was looking at was misleading.
    Thanks to Dana Huff in the comments for reminding me to put this here.

      Don’t give up too easily. I will watch this whole video, but I will watch it piecemeal. Maybe 10 minutes each day. There might be a day when I skip and don’t watch any, or I might watch 15 minutes. Music videos are a lot different because I can make a sandwich and still listen to the music in the background but with Peter you wanna watch his artwork! Best of luck to you! 💗💗💗🖼

    PeterDraws: The movie
    Experience the whimsical world like no other than the hungry but happy and artful Peter as he subconsciously illustrates egg yokes, eggs scrambled, tomatoes, chickpeas, sour gummieworms, ketchup, water, and a whale, all while openly sharing letters and internal conflicts regarding the fundamental nature of art itself.

    27:23 is something i needed to hear today! ive been pretty art blocked for a loooooong time now and haven't really had even the vaguest idea of what to draw, and everything i do draw just doesn't turn out how i like and.. well, i'm still creating, aren't i? it should be worth my time to make art, even if it looks jank. anyways, love the live draws!! more of this, it's so relaxing.

    Thank you Peter! That was fun-I like the long form video. I took out my Prismacolor and Spectrum Noir markers (cheaper cousins of Copic-I won’t even mention the cheap-cheaper cousins because they aren’t even invited to the bbq’s) and played along.
    I always label and swatch them but it doesn’t always help because of different paper or the atmospheric pressure/moon phase. Those buggers do what they want. Especially the Posca which I always end up with starter marks on my hand too.
    I thought you overheated at the end like the camera, or went over “the bridge” and left us.

    Hullo Peter, I am starting my comment before I finish as I know that you create phenomenal content! Looks good so far! I have used alcohol markers for coloring comics and comic art! I have always started light and adding more layers or coats as needed. As long as the ink is dry the alcohol does not have an effect on the ink Lines. Carbon Black ink is a good choice for Copic’s! I will have to finish later tonight or tomorrow. Ok back to the video!

    @XtianApi Před rokem

    You can pull the tips out and swap them for bullet tips or whatever you want.
    Those markers are great on paper made for them. You can go over your color to remove all brush strokes, you can blend them, you can reworks them and the tips don't get dirty. Blend red and yellow and the tip will be fine. Amazing.
    Marker paper is this and made bleed insanely, but it looks great. You don't want fat paper for watercolor that will suck the markers dry

    You didn't put in the description if the colors ended up looking the same in the video as real life... I need to know! Haven't finished the video yet but I'm enjoying it very much. I've always been fascinated watching you draw because every line or shape you make is never what I expect, but it always works out.

    It's probably good advice to not look at artists similar to your style to keep yourself from accidentally being overly influenced by their work. Hard to actually practice that though!! I feel like I'm needing to question why I'm making the choices that I do, just to make sure I want that line there myself, and not because I saw someone else do it. Seems like it would be exhausting, but I kind of like that process of analyzing my work as I go.

    In the beginning it looks like a car went careening off a cliff at high speed and ended up crashed into the branches of a tree.
    Then it started looking like a monster eating a car stuck in a tree and everyone bleeding all over the place.
    After adding the yellow, it looks a little bit like a bald giant embracing the car crash tree and monster, and maybe dancing a little.
    Then it started looking like everything splashed down with a great deal of commotion and chaos. into a river that runs out from a cave.
    And then it looked like the river was flowing out to a UFO crash site, with the car crash tree, the monster, and the dancing giant splashing along. And a blind snake.
    And the jungle took over.
