Is this really the World's Most Ink-Friendly Notebook? Endless Sketchbook Test

following you channel for years helped me realize my dreams. I went from a sad person to an art teacher. I watch a peter draws video to remind myself that everything is okay. youve been there for me the whole time and I don't even know how to express how wonderful it is to be an artist who found you.

I have never seen a video show up on my recommended that was posted 43 seconds ago. Lol.

No disassemble! We would need to treat the sketch book like a historic book on display at a museum. The curator is the pagemaster tasked with flipping to the next entry. And, depending on the time you go to the museum, you would see a different day in the life of Peter. Could encourage repeat visits!

When I homeschooled my boys and needed a high-use reference book to stay intact, or to make a workbook reusable, I’d get the spine professionally cut off, then either get the pages laminated or put them in plastic sheet protectors, depending on the importance of their preservation. Sheet protectors obviously won’t be quite as good as lamination but they were quick and handy, as they already had 3 ring binder holes and I could just pop them into a binder. I got one book separated, laminated, and rebound. There are great quality matte laminating options now, and if you get it rebound with a big margin at the spine for ease of page turning (without bending your art, but only the laminate material), it would preserve your sketchbooks as close to the original order and spirit of them without harming them. I hope you find the best way possible to share your precious, genius, unique creations with the world!

11:28 As someone with a bit of experience working with clothing and streetwear. Your designs would make for a sick clothing line. If you want more people to see your work that’s definitely one of the best options. I was actually thinking about that exact thing before you started talking about it.

You may say that you don't have the answers, but you always turn around and have wonderful suggestions. I'm 43, but I too have never let the plusses or minuses keep me from drawing. I draw, I doodle, everywhere, since I was a kid. You're great, Peter, always refreshing.

I'm a huge fan of zip up six ring binders. I have a special hole puncher that I use to punch whatever paper is my favorite surface at the moment. I keep different sections, too, so I can jot down lists or write letters on brightly colored paper, sketch on cream or toned dot grid, and color on white bristol. When the notebook gets full, I take out some of the older work and settle it into a box and add new blank pages. The zipper means my pages are protected from light spills or rains, too, and I have a little pocket insert where I keep postage stamps and small envelopes. I do still work in regular bound notebooks sometimes, but I like having a system that can function indefinitely.

I love sketchbooks too. :D And I totally would get a Peter Draws Explorer Sketchbook.

Love your stuff, would love to hear deep dive from you on the recurring patterns that emerge in your doodles. Like when you begin on an alien language, do you have certain subconscious rules that you follow that you've learnt look good. Or do they just come naturally. They always have such character and intrigue like they could almost be real. Attempts at it myself have come out looking more or less random. The same applies to your pipework, noodly appendages and other themes. They're very satisfying.

When you put the strap on your shoulder for the pen and said "That's safe, right?" and looked at it with the pointy side up, that made my day 🤣

Woah. Amazing piece Peter, I love it when you mix a person or object into your art.

I ordered one of these sketchbooks finally, because I couldn't get it out of my head, we'll see if it's better than what I have. Thanks so much for all you do and I love it! Keep it up

I have a pocket sized travellers notebook as my wallet. It’s so handy just to keep notes (writing and money) and when you’re done just put the book on the shelf. I have an idea, goes in the book. Shopping list, in the book. Although, I might have to get a bigger sized one to put my story ideas and doodles in to take around town.

Here's an idea 💡 You could commission a limited number of poster size prints mounted and sell them. Pieces that your fans admire the most. I'm sure it would be very difficult to decide since you're amazingly talented. And also, have a "coffee table" flip book created with prints of your original sketchbooks and a little word here and there about your pieces. Honestly, your work speaks for itself. That would save your originals from becoming torn, dog eared, smudged from finger licks, and even torn. I can assure you of this... long after you're gone, folks are going to be in full admiration of your works and fighting over original works. I bet you'll have Peter Draws experts.

This was probably one of my favorite Squarespace drawings!

Love the Endless Recorder. Table of contents is a nice feature. Paper is good. Does at times take a while to dry. Blotting paper is the key to this notebook.

You should make a sketchbook with the intentions that the pages will change with the interaction of fingers…it would evolve the more people would look at it. It would literally be an art collaboration with strangers.

To allow people to see your sketchbooks the best way would be to take extremely high resolution pictures of each drawing and have them developed then frame each photograph. A film photograph is still at a resolution that digital can't get close to today. A tintype photograph is to this day the highest resolution photograph type ever created.

I really admire your videos and art style. It’s inspired me to get set up to start my own art channel eventually💕

Oh wow, a friendly sketchbook/journal to go with my Peter Draws fountain pens!!!!
