Drawing with Peter Draws: Glittery Scratchboards 

Had to transcript this saying of his at 30:46, best advice he ever said for artists: "There is always a risk. Could've been that doing this I could've made the drawing look awful. I could've regretted it immensely, but I don't regret. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. You just learn to go. Don't worry about it too much. There is always the next drawing. Sometimes people get too frustrated about it, not liking their own drawings. I don't like hardly any of my drawings. However I do like drawing, so I keep doing it. And the frustration for not liking my drawings, it channels it into moving forward to the next drawing."

“Five seconds, thirty seconds, a year...” well that escalares quickly

Peter, you should scratch the whole thing off on one, and then draw on it with a Sharpie and you'll have that nice background underneath

"Check your mayonnaise" -Peter 2017

I really love your outlook on art, Peter. You're just very inspiring. I feel like it's easy to get discouraged watching a lot of other artists on RU-vid, not because they say discouraging things or anything, but because there's this general obsession with owning the best supplies and creating a perfectly polished piece in the end. It's like an unspoken pressure hidden in the videos. I don't feel that at all when I watch you. You take anything and everything and just create with it, and you're really open about how you may not love a piece or how it may not be what you envisioned but you just create anyways. I've noticed in a lot of your videos you talk about "I just wanted to draw, so I just made myself get started" even though you didnt have a plan. It's just such a refreshing attitude and it makes art feel so much more accessible and enjoyable. Basically what I'm getting at is, thank you for putting yourself out there and being real about art and your process. Thank you for taking the pressure off on creating a masterpiece and instead making it okay to just create.

I was watching your videos with my little sister today and I got up to get something, and when I came back she was asleep! But she wants you to know peter, it's not because you were boring, but because your voice is so soothing

Two lines that curve can be parallel. They are (uncreatively) called parallel curves, and are just a generalised form of the geometry of parallel lines. The math is a little more complicated, but it's the same concept.

There are times when I feel that I need to go back and try art; I've failed so many times. This was a very nice video, and every time I watch Peter draw I feel like I need to go back and try again. It's like suffering on the inside.

when you spoke about making mistakes that no one else notices, I thought of this Bob Ross quote: "There are no mistakes, only happy accidents."

Wow that’s a little crazy... I am watching for the first time on January 4th.. Thursday.

6:03 "the crusties" - I'm dead

so many childhood memories with those scratch boards! but you do wayy cooler stuff that I ever did. Also, with the impending storms headed my way, this is quite relaxing

On the left where it says "This space was intentionally left blank"... i'm so triggered i have the SAT tomorrow

'5 seconds, 30 seconds, a year' loving the jumping extremities in this video

I saw the word glitter and got excited

I honestly love this dude, I don't remember how I found him but he's so funny XD, bet he gets all the poontang

After a stressful day I love being able to hear you with nothing but positive and calm vibes with good content 😌 💕 thank you

"It's okay to take a break for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, a year." OH BOY DO I TAKE THAT TO HEART TOO OFTEN.

your videos made me regain the joy of drawing without overthinking or being self critical. like when I was a child and just drew for the sake of it. this is the best art related channel ive ever seen. I hope you keep uploading videos for a long time.

It's funny when he says drawing cause he pronounces the w

I watched this in full screen and soon the lines began to imprint on my vision. It then looked to me like your hand was passing under the line. I suppose this effect is much like the illusion where you look at a face in negative for 30 seconds and then look at a white paper and you can see the negative in color. Very strange effect. The first time it happened I was like, " what the......?" and I had to roll it back so I could see it again. P.S. If the stylus you have is wood, you could file it to a sharper point. If you'd like multiple points for line variation, go to Sally Beauty Supply and buy some orangewood sticks and file them to any degree of thickness you desire. Food for thought. Cheers!

I love how Peter does the same things that I do when he's drawing sometimes. Like when you move your art utensil as if you're drawing something, but don't put anything down, to test it and/or see if it feels right. He's such a great artist! I've never seen him draw the kind of drawings I draw, and I don't draw the way he usually does, but I feel very connected to his art despite that (:

I tried drawing along with you like my parents and grandparents would Bob Ross. I just felt an overwhelming sense of calm, I just felt so relaxed, so free of stress. I did it in pencil, but I didn't end up erasing a single thing because of how calm I was. Thanks for making me not die of stress before exams, Peter!

Life is just, whatever -PeterDraws 2k17 this speaks to me on a spiritual level

I love Peter's vocabulary for the scratched off dust; "nuggets" "crusties"

I love this one Peter ! I think I'm going to have to find some of the glitter ones.

You should try drawing on top of these scratch cards with ink or gel pens and then once your done scratch around it for a negative space effect. That probably doesn't make sense but whatever

I'm watching on a Thursday, thanksgiving to be exact. Making many foods

Is that... H💿L💿?

looks good, like your a professional scratcher offer

How did you know I would be watching it on a Thursday?? Thanks for wishing us Thursday watchers a good day??

Love watching you draw Peter and your voice is amazing but what's even more amazing is that I am actually watching this on a THURSDAY 😊 (Thursday 15th February to be exact)! Thank you for sharing your wonderful art and voice with us xx ☺️

"sometimes you just need to take a break for like 5 seconds 30 seconds a year" my new life modo

I could watch and listen all day

I love your art style... it's so fluid, organic... it just seems alive! So free spirited.

I think it would be cool if we all just started commenting what we see in his drawings. In this one, I saw a man yelling and also looking back towards his ear. It was almost like a drawing you might see Ina children's book with abstract-ish type illustrations in it. I really enjoy it a lot and that's what I love about Peter's art, that we all might see something completely different in each of his pieces and maybe we don't see anything at all, that's so gorgeous to me! So let's start sharing what we see

these scratch boards bring me back to childhood. I enjoy these very much. your humor is not only pleasing to the ears to hear, but moderately entertaining. I'm delighted. subbed. well, I subbed a while ago. first time commenting though. you're doing Gods work!

"There's always the next drawing." -Peter 2017

Im watching this on a Thursday. Thanks! I hope you have a wonderful day too Peter.

once again I'm in awe and I'm inspired by your artwork. You take something so simple and turn it into something extraordinary!

I watched it on a Saturday.

i blew my screen to get rid of the nuggets after you scratched it away. fml

I love watching these videos. These are the type of drawings I love to do, but my style is a lot more geometric and jagged. Its good to be able to see someone else's process, I'm learning how to expand into other dimensions of drawing.

It's just so satisfying to watch to draw all these amazing things!!!! Thank you so much for... well, for being amazing like you are

The lines are still parallel as long as their slopes are the same for the duration of the graph/function/infinity, whether they are curved or not

I love the facecam.

Your drawing and your fun ramblings ease my anxieties. Thanks.

This is really satisfying to watch, thank you. Your art seems to have a very specific aesthetic but you still manage to spice it up with the different supplies you use. Nice!

🙋 I am watching this on a Thursday!

Scratch board cleaning AMSR

I’m watching this on a Thursday and I’m doing well. Thank you Peter.

I just love watching your videos. You inspire me as an artist to just...take my time and enjoy my art. I swear I can watch your videos and just relax for a little while. Your vids help relieve my near constant stress, even if only for a short time. Keep up the awesome work!

Please do a drawing on a lottery scratch off!!

My timezone is earlier than western timezone so I'm watching this on a wednesday

your precise love for lines is beautiful. like. im not usually one for abstract line are im more into realism and paintings. yet- im obsessed with your work and videos. you rock dude!

I dare say that you're like the new Bob Ross. So chill and relaxing to watch. I like that you use various products too. It's great. A very zen experience.

should definitely consider tattooing😍

roses are red violets are blue i love them glitters and so do you

I am watching this on a Thursday! Thank you, I hope you're having a good day too Peter!

I've been watching this now 19 minutes and it totally felt like 5 minutes. You're always so amazing, lots of love ❤️

In these you don't have to worry about smudging, which is nice.

I'm watching on a Thursday OMG 😱😱😱

Videos are super calming and relaxing. Dudes voice puts me to sleep. so calm

Super cool how you turned the negative space into the positive space by filling in the background, completely fundamemtally changed the piece!

Peter you're amazing. Can I please marry you omfg

Don't worry, as Bob Ross would say, "It was a happy mistake." xD

It's weird but I often have ASMR experiences with Pete's videos. His voice is so mellow and soothing, not to mention the gentle scratching of the waxy boards is very pleasant :)

I am watching this on a thursday!! 😱😱 love your art by the way!!

If pause at the right moment at 00:00 his face is priceless.

Peter, have you ever thought of doing henna? love you.

This is very beautiful Peter and your calming voice has been so welcomed in my life lately with all the bad things in the world going on. I found you here on RU-vid a couple of weeks ago, thank you for being part of my self care. Such a soothing presence, I even bought a fountain pen and I haven’t used one in many years. I bought the Picasso and the black Waterman ink. I really like it. ❤️

Watching and hearing Peter draw anything is always...”satisfying”. 😎

Where do you keep all your art when it's finished?? Your apartment must be covered

Hey.. I remember.. I don't know if it's in this video.. but I remember you said in a video that you wanted the power to draw with your fingers well I have an idea.. what if you took acrylic nails or fake nails and put pencil led under it and glued it on and then put it on your finger and boom you can draw with your fingers.!! I don't know if you'll be able to see this comment but I think it would be a cool idea..

I'm watching on a Thursday ! Addicted to this video as it's so satisfying 👍🏽 you're an inspirational artists ❤️

Studying for my midterm tomorrow and this is helping me relax and focus! Thanks Peter! 😊

i came

... I am watching this on a Thursday

Funny that I happen to be watching this on a Thursday. Happy Thursday to you Peter.

You are literally my favorite person to watch to inspire me to draw. Keep being rad my dude

Peter! you're my spirit animal!

When your watching t his on a Thursday 😵😵😂

woah. Peter.. how'd you know I was watching this on a Thursday, 2 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE. and Thanks. I'm doing great! Your art got me back into doodling and makes me wanna practice again

I love watching your videos. they're very calming and I like that they are like doodles

I believe you meant "This space is intentionally left blank" instead of "This space intentionally left blank."

hey this might be weird or something to ask. But can u do a video on u sculpting somethin?

I love you peter, you brighten up my life. Thanks for existing.

Thanks for so much good videos in the last days!

please, realtime scratching a scratchboard clean.

You remind me of the dad in Coraline

Peter, I hope you're aware how much joy and calm energy you are bringing to people; just by doing your thing and being yourself. Keep it up. :)

I'm watching this on a Thursday and I am having a great day. Thank you, Peter.

WAS THAT MAN HOLO???💿💿💿💿💿

am I the only one finding holosexuals' comments but can't find any 😂😂😂😂

When you said "this is almost as satisfying as power washing" my heart skipped a beat.....I totally agree with you that "there's just something about power washing" :) I'm the only person I know that enjoys it. I finally found someone on this earth other than me that finds this kinda stuff so satisfying!

I love your videos your voice is super calming. I just listen to you talk and my mind quiets down thank you so much for what you do. :)

Crafts? Cry? Protip? SOFT AND NEAT? sorry

This comment is intentionally left meaningless

I love watching him before bed, not because it’s boreing, but because it’s satisfying and his tid bits of wisdom or rants are enjoyable

Listening to Peter with chill music in the background is so magical.
