I was very pleased with the Platinum Prefounte fountain pen, (find it on Federalist Pens here: federalistpens.com/products/n... ) definitely seems like a good grab for anyone at this price point. Still, the main downside for me is the lack of an included piston converter. I don't like feeling like I'm about to run out of ink, and the only solution being either ordering more cartridges (or an $8 converter) or trying to refill the cartridge with a syringe, which actually is kind of a fun pen-tinkering adventure sometimes, even if it can get a little messy. I just don't like to feel held back by my pens, and that's what a cartridge does for me.
That aside, this does feel like a solid pen for a beginner or a good addition to anyone's collection, it feels practical and can be used when you may not want to use a more expensive pen. It doesn't do a lot of flexing, but it flows well and feels good.
Here are the two papers we looked at:

Peter, we all know that everybody needs to eat and pay the rent... you entertain us for hours every month, and we appreciate your efforts. It's important to build your knowledge base and skill sets, and a degree in architecture is a credential that will certainly help you in the future. Keep drawing and we'll keep watching --- that's how economies work and we all understand the dynamics of the system.
Love,
Your followers
Agreed. Can't fault a guy for wanting the stability of a day job and a regular paycheck.
He’s a draw outside the the lines kind of guy. At some point though we all need to do the thing, even if it’s for a little while. I’m glad he’s getting out there and thriving. I support you!
this!!! also, imo sponsorships are a fair way to make $$$, as long as youre being honest in your support of the company, brand, whatever
What this guy said^
@jrsinsf
"Today, my name is Peter"
Who will he be tomorrow...
Only time will tell
Didn't youknow there are 3 Peter's 🤔
he can turn into a PETAR or a Pedro, and if he shrinks then Pedrito
@@SHINdanny ROFL! :D Pedrito...
Peter’s really doing the most for these eye-catching intros
i mean it worked. that’s why i clicked anyway lol
my fav part lmao
Did he do it for the intro though? Ir did he do it for the vine?
Nah. That's just Peter being Peter! lol

The water tap behind you looks like it's dabbing.

I'll be honest whenever I see the sponsorship time show up I just tap the screen to fast forward so I can get right back to the quality Peter content but I'm glad it's there cuz u deserve that sponsorship money
I kinda like the sponsorship because it gives me a few moments to reflect on my goals
Thats why he has the timer
@@Tyler-wu7jx and I appreciate him for it
@@Tyler-wu7jx The timer is existentially odd because I can't really decide if the mention of the sales goal of the sponsor is darker without it..because if it wasn't there...there are implications about honesty and time.
i really appreciate the timer. probably wouldn’t watch the ad through to the end without it but i’m like oh yeah i can watch this for 1 minute and 24 seconds to help peter out.
Hey peter, I’m one of those people who don’t post comments often, I usually have your videos playing while I’m doing something, sometimes while I’m playing video games or drawing myself, but I just wanna let you know that these videos are something special to me and I will always appreciate you and your hobby. Keep being you, Love ya.
Also I ate an egg bagel for breakfast today, it was good
My sister makes the best egg bagels. If you want to feel fancy fry a piece of cheese until its crispy and put it on there, it's really great. Also a great recipe is action Bronson's cheesy bagel recipe😂 juat thought I'd share
How did you get John Mayer to do your intro?
Peter has some of the most entertaining Intros
I am also really enjoying these musical introductions. 👍.
* the most
Hey Peter. I just wanted to comment and sort of express how this is all making me feel, if that’s alright with you. I’ve been watching and/or listening to your stuff for quite a while now, and it is by far some of the most relaxing and entertaining work I’ve seen on here. The entire cadence continuously emitted from your voice, your art, your editing, etc. leaves me in such a comfortable state of being regardless of what’s been going on. Uniqueness exudes from you, in the most positive sense of the word, and I hope that whatever you decide to do in the future brings good fortune and happiness to you. I think I speak for most of your audience when I say I’ll support you in whatever endeavor you choose to pursue. So at the very least, I hope this provides some semblance of comfort to you amidst the wild uncertainty grasping the world today. Love ya, man
Snap. You eloquent commenter, you.
I've been eating PBJ's toasted in the oven. One day I toasted it too much and the jelly was bubbling. I bit into it anyways and completely roasted the inside of my mouth. Painful deliciousness.
bubbling equals dangerous.
Pfp checks out
Oooh ouch!! I made the same mistake with lava cheese on takeout pizza once and feel your pain.
My condolences
Oof
"...today my name is Peter and..." wait what
In most videos his name is 🅱eter
That's exactly what I thought lmaooo
Lol only for today his name is Peter
Peter's so charming I actually listen to his sponsor segments rather than fast forwarding thru! Because it's still Peter talking!
Every auditory moment with Peter is another sublime moment not to be taken for granted
Me too.
I had no idea how much I needed this wonderful person in my life until one day- who knows how long ago anymore- when I clicked on a random video with a neat looking drawing in the thumbnail. Peter always exudes “everything is gonna be okay” energy. Every video feels like a friendly hug which, now more than ever, is just so important. ❤️ Edit: Also, I’m having turkey and salami with Italian dressing, banana peppers, and lettuce because crunch is a must.
I like to add cucumbers because of how crunchy they are and still don't have huge amounts of taste
Hi Peter! glad youre staying healthy. staying away from coffee after drinking it for a long time can be hard, its a super good thing you can exercise self control like that. eating habits can be just as hard to take control of, esp when theyve become so convenient. i loved your video. i for one really enjoy listening you talk for that long. i think its a very good thing that you tried to just speak super honestly about your thoughts and feelings about your work, sponsorships, college, etc. I could be wrong but i think being that open in a video helps grow your relationship with your audience. focusing on an artistic (or non-artistic) job apart from youtube could be very good for you and im excited to see what choices you make. your skills would grow in many ways if you devoted yourself to a more focused artistic profession. staying on youtube alone + working with sponsors could support you for a long time, but i think its wise of you to question the life span of your state of success. while you have massed a sizable and loyal following, and a healthy community on youtube, success is often fickle. have you considered showing your work? being represented by a gallery? or maybe you could work as an illustrator? i dunno, but im glad youre talking about it! love you bye
Yes, do some shows!
the only sponsor i won't skip through thank u for the jams my guy ilysm
Something about Peter drawing parallel lines is extremely satisfying.
Haven't commented in months but needed to say: you are a delight.
Oh thanks
Peter, I really enjoy hearing your career thought process and issues with sponsorship, etc. You are always upfront and forthright with what you are doing and your rationale and while I can’t speak for other viewers it doesn’t bother me at all that your videos include sponsors because I know it provides better income for you. You deserve to be paid well for the thoughtful and creative entertainment you provide.
I really don’t mind about the sponsored segments either. I am kinda glad about the Raid Shadow Legends turn down though because I get the feeling from watching other creators do them that they basically give you a script and some graphics and say ‘use this exactly or you don’t get paid’ and it just ruins the flow and nature of the content. Also, I’m eating a steak burger right now after a crappy night shift.
I know this is an older video, but I just wanted you to know my husband and I recently found you and your incredible videos. I, personally, suffer from a lot of anxiety and depression, but there is something about you, your voice, your personality and your drawings that inspired me. I decided yesterday to turn your videos on and just draw, but not a picture of a person, animal or landscape, but just a beautiful doodle ART and something about it was calming. Having you and your funny conversation and sweet, precious aura also helped. You’re an inspiring soul without even trying. Keep being you, Peter, unless you don’t want be that day, then be that guy. I’m sure he’s great, too. Thank you so much for being you. It’s beautiful.
Peter, this is a real job. You create content for viewers to enjoy, you even have a fanbase of frequent viewers. You draw, discuss, video, edit, and advertise. That's a lot more of a work load than some "real jobs." Also, I wonder what this piece would look like through 3D glasses since its blue and red. Great work 🙌
"Today my name is Peter"
Tomorrow I will be Draws
Maybe he's an evil doppelgänger of Peter and just hid the real one for one day so he can make his dream come true: Being Peter for just one day.
@@myownlittlesheet4540 fuzzy haired Peter is locked in the basement
My brother and I have recently started smoking cigars together in the evenings. We maybe smoke once a week, but it's nice to just sit and talk. This video reminded me of one of the talks with my brother. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for being so genuine.
Dear Peter, a long long time ago when I was single, I discovered that cooking, even if it is effort and dirties dishes and then you eat it in a few minutes, it is time spend on taking good care of yourself. And I also found that cooking for myself, just for myself, a few days a week just did wonders for my self-esteem. I just loved myself a little bit more and that was a good thing for me and every around me.
It’s like drawing on a cover sheet. Lol! Love how honest this guy is. Not editing mistakes just shows how confident he is.
I don't comment often, but I would like to say, I love watching your videos because they make me feel very relaxed, cosy and removes my anxiety - the same effect that comes from a Bob Ross video. Thank you for that :)
These videos are very satisfying im not sure why, but I often watch them before I go to bed and I feel very calm and relatable
I follow you since 80k subs more less, and i dont usually comment. I just enjoy your vids and the energy u give. I usually listen to u while i draw myself. Just draw and have fun Peter, I will do the same
Thanks Mateo
I watched this after taking a nap and I was well rested. My day has been made
Peter scribbles feverishly and calmly says “yeah, it’s working. Look at it go” lol
Wow this headless guy has a cool Sufjan Stevens shirt
That’s what I said
those first 59 seconds are worth my like already
The sponsor portions of your videos are totally fine , they don’t bother me at all. We want you to be successful and happy man. I would love to hear you are making a fortune... you deserve it. Thanks for all you do!
Just had some noodles for lunch. I love cooking but was feeling lazy today, so noodles it was.
Even big TV networks need sponsored segments, Peter, no need to apologize for it. It helps pay the bills, while you keep us inspired and entertained, doing what you love.
It's a win win win situation.
thanks for what you do peter. you put a lot of heart and a lot of honestly into your videos. i don’t watch many other art channels and the thing that keeps me here is the very genuine way you talk about life. thank you for that. please do whatever makes you happy and if this is a necessity for now i am glad. and if this becomes a sometimes hobby again in the future i am glad. 💕
BEST INTRO EVER! i hate ads unless PeterDraws sings and plays them, then i LOVE them. Love you peter!
Peter, you're like a modern Bob Ross and that's a compliment :D
Thanks for grinding out these videos for us, I'm sure me and many others watching are thankful for you as well!
It genuinely brightens my day to turn on the computer with my morning coffee and see a new video from Peter. Your videos are great - not because of your editing, which is fine; not because of your set, which is adequate; and not even because of your art, which is still excellent.
They are great because of you, just being you. And I think that's something you should be exceedingly proud of. You inspire so many of us. Thank you.
I’ve been watching for years and I don’t mind sponsors at all. I’m sure all your hardcore fans just want to see be successful and not having to worry month to month about money lifts quite a burden. ♥️♥️
I think it's great that you use sponsors if it benefits you AND you TRULY believe in the products/sponsors. Being genuine and believing in what you put energy into is so important. Love ya, Peter!
Thank you too Peter for your time, for sharing and for your content. I'm sure where ever your future takes you, you'll always have people who enjoy you and your content here.
Been subscribed to this man for 3 years. Its absolutely crazy looking at him then and now. I'm so happy I still enjoy his content and he's still making amazing content
This channel is such a bright and warm little internet isle. Thanks for all your content Peter, I have spent many many hours listening and watching. Don’t sweat the sponsorship stuff, everyone knows you have to put food on the table somehow. It’s always pretty nonintrusive anyhow 👍
A Peter Draws upload day is always a good day. Keep up these fantastic videos Peter!
Appreciate your honesty and willingness to be who you are. Love you Peter
Oh yeah, Tomoe River is NICE PAPER. Pricey, but NICE! Love your videos. Your art is enhanced by your humanity.
I'm sorry I don't comment very often but I do want you to know that I still watch after all these years and I still love everything you do. Thank you for encouraging me to draw and try new things. Your videos mean a great deal to me. I just started with you on Jump and I love it!
I was freaking out with the possibility that you would be quitting CZcams. Take all the breaks you need but I'll be watching your videos even if there's only one a year. Stay happy 💕
You should never worry about doing sponsor segments. That's basic economics and you're not selling your soul by doing them. Your videos are great and we all hope you keep doing this forever. Rock on. (and iceberg lettuce is just fine too!)
I used to play that box game with my grandma a lot when I was about 12. I am 42 now and she is great grandma now to my 13 yo son. Such happy memories. Love my grandma so much.
I hope your gma still enjoys good health, you are lucky to have been able to grow up with her
@@cazkiwinz4300 unfortunately she passed away at age 96 in December 2022. She is survived by her 5 kids, 7 grand kids, and 10 great grand kids. We all loved her a lot and miss her. 🙏
Listening to this in 2021 I'm glad you're still on CZcams. So honest and entertaining. Hope things are going well for you.
I appreciate these longer videos! Helps the work night go faster.
It’s pronounced like tomo-ay and I’m pretty sure the mountain is supposed to be Mt Fuji
I only know this because Sekiro
I thought that’s how it was pronounced, but wasn’t sure
Hey peter, I feel the exact same way about cooking. My solution is to cook a big batch of something I can freeze part of and just heat up when needed, so I only really have to cook once every week or two.
Yes. When I make a lasagna I have to freeze it. So much better and cheaper than store bought ones, and I control the ingredients. I will get a pizza once in a while, and that lasts me 4 days. A rotisserie chicken from Costco is so many meals for someone like me. The last one I got I made soup out of the last of it and still have 3 big things of frozen chicken noodle soup in the freezer, just in case I get the virus.
I'll make a batch of rice and put it in a baggie and sometimes freeze it. then I just take out what I need to add to a soup, or heat up and put under some other sauce or chili, Especially brown rice. Brown rice takes longer to cook, so it's nice to have some ready to go. I do the same with pasta, cook more than I need and refrigerate the rest for fast food.
@@recoveringsoul755 thanks you for the advice mates, when I will live on my own, I'll remember it 😁
It's very smart for you to have a plan B. There's a lot about youtube that you don't have control over. You may also get burnt out but be forced to continue if you dont have a plan B. If you get burnt out and are unable to take a break because its your job then your content can suffer and you could loose subs, views, and money. I applaud you for planning for your future. I love your content and your personality. As long as you keep uploading I'll keep watching. If you need a break dont be affraid of taking one. I know I'll still be here to watch, like, and share. Thanks for inspiring my creativity and brightening my day with your uploads.
I love the care you put into selecting your sponsors. Keep doing you, Peter!
this is my favourite channel on youtube. I always expect drawing when I click the video, but there is always something more than that.
Rhoda sitting here watching this vid excited that peter remembers her.
Peter, these are my favorite 2 papers. And you are a beautiful person, do what you want dude! I do not mind the sponsored segments at all! If they help you I am all for it! Be yourself, we love you!
I don't know how you do it, but every time I watch one of your videos I always end up smileing. Thank you for just being you!
By the way, the Tomoe River logo is supposed to be Mount Fuji. :)
Your videos bring me a lot of comfort and uplift my mood when I'm feeling down, so waiting through a 1 minute sponsor isn't the end of the world. I don't judge you, you have to do what you have to do to survive, and when I was on my own I had weeks where I would order delivery food every day, and definitely had a few 2 times a day deliveries. Better off not doing that of course, but it's hard to motivate yourself when it's just you. Take care, Peter, I wish you all the best in life, see you in the next video.
Your sponsored segments are the best. You put that timer up and we can skip right on over them. As someone who listens to podcasts, damn, I never need to hear anything about Squarespace again, so I really appreciate that. Oh, and I'm a single guy that lives alone, and my favorite simple food to make is burritos. I fix up about 8 or 10 at a time, wrap em in foil, throw em in the fridge and eat them throughout the week. Makes packing my lunch super easy in the mornings before work.
Hmm burritos do sound good
Me at the start of your drawing, “this doesn’t make any sense”. Me at the end of your drawing, “this still doesn’t make sense but I want it on my wall”. I can’t say why I love seeing your work, but it is amazing. Thanks for the videos.
Oh my oh my. The best ever. I do appreciate what you just did. Thank you very well done
Do you not like leftovers? Make a family size portion of soup, use a crock pot- make something you can eat for a few days! Put in whatever you want- veg, meat, pasta, grain. Potatoes are one of my favs- so many ways to cook up a bag of potatoes over a week! ...I say this as a single person who also has to make an effort to feed myself ^^
Thank YOU, Peter, for sharing your talent here on the internets.
The paper company tomoe river is actually Japanese and is pronounced as (toe moe eh), or tomoegawa in Japanese :)
Correct :)
I live for email notifications that Peter has uploaded a new video. You have the amazingly calm peace about you which I love to see. It helps to bring balance and calm to my world. Keep doing you boo! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to provide content for us.
Been watching you for years and ive always enjoyed watching your content. Cant wait for future vids
I just discovered your CZcams channel and I can say after an intense day, listening to you and watching your channel has been so calming.
Do what really makes you happy Peter you can do anything you put your mind to
Peter I wish you the best luck with your future plans! I really love your channel, and looking forward to seeing it continue!
Great drawing! I’m astounded every time!
You the man Peter! Follow your dreams dude. It will all work out. I appreciate the little gifts you give on here so regularly. Makes my day. Thanks 🙏🏻
How can someone dislike this calm doods video
Peter, your review spots are great... I've learned a lot, and I wish you the very best as you move forward to any new phase of your life!
Came here for a review and leave with a stunning intro and a unique piece of art
🤲 life is gold
Peter, your videos and especially the intros are always highlights of my day.
you have the best voice in the world it calms me down like nothing else
I love the bit of asmr you did with the ink bottles 👌🏻
Why does everything he says make sense? In my opinion the most down to earth person on CZcams. Never change Peter. I couldn’t tell you the last time I drew something, I just find your content real with good vibes
Im having a ham and bean stew to put over rice, just cook a bag of assorted beans with some cubed ham, throw it in a slow cooker if you got one
This is by far one of my all time favourite channels/people on the world wide web.
Love you pete
I'm in my 50's and i can tell you that getting a job is not the way forward if you have already got a launching platform that you have painstakingly built up over the years then it is a pity to just let it float slowly away when you are so close to being a millionaire. there are millions of designers and people working for other people you are working for your self and are already successful you have already got a degree in being well known on you tube you just keep expanding and don't stop until it gets crazy good keep going don't stop
I totally second that, as a 50yo artist trying to share and make a living of my art.
You've gotst it made/ you made it, yourself @peterdraws!
Peter, never feel guilty or bad about accepting sponsors, living isn't free, you've gotta pay bills and eat like the rest of us. We 100% understand and you shouldn't have to apologize for it. As long as you enjoy what you're doing then we will enjoy watching. Been watching since 2014 and have loved your content and you as a person ever since. We love you, and thank you for the years of entertainment. You know what they say, we came for the art, but we stayed for the Peter.
Max and I have been watching for 4+ years since he was 3 and you are the best child-putter-to-sleeper fellow artist. I am more than happy to watch your sponsorship ads if they help you achieve a good/better quality of life and pay your bills! :)

You are by far my favorite musician and favorite CZcamsr
Really fun and uplifting jam for the intro Peter thanks
My heart almost stopped when I thought you meant you were quitting CZcams. I appreciate you so much Peter ❤️
I'm happy you'll still be here Peter and I hope you can make this your hobby again to make it more enjoyable
This channel is a fresh breeze in this sea of sell-out, clickbaity content. Your likably weird personality make your videos very unique. I love your approach to making art and it often gives me motivation to create something.
Keep on doodling and being yourself, it never gets boring!
I know its been a couple of years now that I've been watching your videos but to be honest your one of the big reasons I got into drawing and now want to maybe venture into other mediums like spray painting and regular water or acrylic painting keep doing what you do and even if you do other things its nice to know you'll be doing what you like thanks again for all the inspiration you've given me and for the philosophical comments you give during your vids
Hey Peter, this is 3 months late, and it’s likely that you won’t see it, but I’m commenting anyway. I would agree with the commenters here that your audience is here for you as much as for your content. I’m... working through a big loss in my personal life right now, and it’s sucking the joy and creativity out of me. Listening to you and your honest, personable, commentary is comforting. I wish you the best in both your artistic and professional/educational pursuits.
Peter your videos are a breath of fresh air in a world gone mad. I enjoy your giftings. Lately watching your videos have inspired me to get back into drawing. My favorite video...the guy in your fridge and the watercolor you painted for him. 😂😁
Your welcome. We appreciate you as well good sir. You inspire alot of us.
your art is beautiful and your voice is extremely soothing, whether you upload or not, we will always appreciate your content :D
Just came across this video today. I have been following you for quite some time, but have been away from CZcams for awhile, especially since Hurricane Laura. I watched one of your videos years ago about what to do when you don’t know what to draw or something like that. Anyway I did what you said and started drawing lines and curves or circles and it was amazing. I loved it and I just kept going, so thank you for that. I really came here to say that there is something about you and your videos that is compelling. I’m 71 years old and I find your videos very relaxing and inspiring - makes me want to go draw with my fountain pens. I have several of the platinum preppy fountain pens - $3.50/each with different nib sizes and lots of colors of J Herbin ink. Thank you for your videos!😊❤
Really must appreciate Peter's perspective on things. The clarity of it all is just lovely. It really must be a Tuesday
Happy Tuesday!
Fantastic drawing, fantastic commentary.
Didn’t think you could get any cooler, but the Sufjan shirt just set you over. Congrats, you’re the coolest guy.
