Thank you for the booklist, I'm trying to find some new books. And as always, your work is wonderful Peter

Stranger in a strange land got me into sci-fi! I went on to read most of R.H.s books, still collecting some of the last ones. Huge to me, glad to hear you enjoyed it

Interesting book list. Some classics and some mod. Awesome pencil work!

I recently got this paper that is made out of STONE. It's waterproof and super smooth. You should get your hands on some (if you haven't already). V unique smell.

I would recommend The Name of The Wind by Pat Rothfuss, really audiobook friendly and pretty well-written

In that that sort of Sci-Fi Fantasy blend I would highly recommend the Otherland series by Tad Williams. He was already my favourite fantasy author by the time I read this series.

Loved the book reviews. I'm an avid sci-fi and fantasy reader. I highly recommend Brandon Sanderson's Mist Born series. Very well written with an original premise, excellent world building and multidimensional characters. Worth reading and rereading. Hope you enjoy it.

Oh yeah I did read one of those! I think. Those are the ones where they had little pouches of metal to power their magic right? And they were like, leaping between cities and stuff

great content, love the book reviews. I love the Iain Banks books, there are loads of them about a society of AI that live with a humanoid species called the Culture, really well written, I love them because I would love to be part of that society.

Loved this one

Your outlook and attitude is a mood and I thank you for that! New to your channel but an artist, so glad i found ya! :)

Holy Moly the upload frequency! Lessgo! 🔥

Nice. I would recommend you Roadside picnic, it's a really well written book and, what book I own, has the first script for the film which is also cool.

I believe you👍👍👍 you are always an inspiration for me!🥳

It's a good draWING, Peter. If you've never read/listened to any of Terry Pratchett's books, and you can get behind some fantasy-flavored satire, I would recommend them all. And while they're categorized satire, I find them to be some pretty good stories in their own right. Thanks, and good day!

I gotta go back and continue the three-body-problem audiobook series! The first one was great, and I've heard it gets pretty nutty. 👽

for background areas in the shadows, it might be interesting to place a textured material like course sand paper or something with fine bumps under your paper, so that the shadows you are shading get a unifying sub pattern of stippling. just a thought I had while watching, something to try :)

Oh I’m glad this is on KZread, I saw it on your instagram and thought oh that’s nice

You looking like a my favourite Leonardo da Vinci artist😢😢😢😢👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳india.

Holy Cow! Needs museum quality frame.

I had such a similar experience with Fairy Tale. I read up to him finding the other world in probably 2 sittings. The rest of the book I've been reading slowly over the last 6 months. All the mystery was gone, and I suddenly cared a lot less. Also, In Cold Blood is SO GOOD. I loved it.

Hyperion series has been one of my favorite sci-fi series of all time.

If you're looking for more sci-fi recs, I'm a big fan of both The Imperial Radch Trilogy by Ann Leckie (starts with Ancillary Justice) and Blindsight by Peter Watts. Imperial Radch has a sense of immense scale while still being very grounded, and Blindsight has some really interesting ideas, never read anything like it. Also, after you responded to a previous comment of mine, I got the Platinum Pen from JetPens and I'm loving it! Edit: somehow got the name of the trilogy wrong Edit 2: If you're a fantasy fan, I've never read anything with a scope as wide as The Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. Incredible series. I don't know if it has an audiobook, though.

Hi, I can recommend 'The Lathe of Heaven' by Ursula LeGuin or for something lighter 'The Dragonriders of Pern'(many volumes in this series) is very well written by Anne McCaffrey. A connection to music.

You could enter it into the Royal Hibernian Academy of art's annual exhibition. It would be a joy to see it on display. It would sell well.

that's a nice drawing peter.

You should try the Southern Reach Trilogy. They leave you with more questions than answers but are very cool. Also any of th Ian M Banks Culture books are great space operas

Nice drawing mate.

Yay I'm back! I feel like you disappeared out of my feed for awhile. Great video as always 😊 thanks!

I'm going to check out those Vernor Vinge books. My favourite is scifi and I seem to really go for post-apocalyptic and/or dystopian stories too. I've just had a long period of reading non-fiction so I'm probably ready for a good novel. You might find Jeff VanderMeer's stories interesting? The drawing turned out great!!

Another lovely video! Warm hugs from Ukraine ❤

I enjoyed both the drawing and the book discussion quite a lot - some I had read and some I would like to read. Here's my 2-cents to add to the discussion: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke === Virtual Reality/Cyber Worlds === William Gibson: Neuromancer, Mona Lisa Overdrive, … Neal Stephenson: Snow Crash Tad Williams: Otherland Series === Encountering Alien Civilizations === Arthur C. Clarke: Rendevous with Rama Greg Bear: Eon Series Ray Bradbury: Martian Chronicles === Terraforming === Kim Stanley Robinson: Mars Trilogy === Ethereal === David Lindsay: A Voyage to Arcturus E.R. Edison: The Worm Ouroboros, A Fish Dinner in Memison (These came to mind when some other commenters recommended the very good Eddings Belgariad series.) === Castle Gormenghast === Mervyn Peake: Gormenghast Series (Life and adventure in an enormously sprawling castle - if ever there was someone to draw the castle described in the series it would be Peter Deligdisch.)

It’s good to see pencil get the respect it deserves

The 3 body problem series of audio books are a great listen.

I think you would love the book Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, it hits a lot of the things you said you're interested in: humans living indefinitely with cryo-sleep, the evolution of an alien race from their POV including how they develop scientific understanding and eventually make it into space (in a much different way than humans do), and I think it's classed as hard sci-fi, plus it's one of the best written books I've ever read, blew my mind!

Maybe if you take the glass out the drawing won't have to fight the reflections for attention? Douglas Adams (author of Hitchhikers Guide) reading his own novel Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency was great fun. I love when authors read their own novels because you know this is how it plays out in their head lol. Also Adams is my brand of humor so that helps a lot

Nice video Peter! I highly recommend the original Dune series followed by Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune by franks son Brian Herbert. Sorry I only watched about half the vid so maybe you mentioned these but they’re incredibly detailed. The series expands with each book and truly develops into an amazing story filled with incredible ideas!!

Yes, it's a good drawing! Vinge was great. Glad you're enjoying him, too! I think you'd enjoy reading through Neal Stephenson's work--if you haven't already. His brand of "hard sci-fi" covers many of the bases you described across various settings and time-periods.

Hey Pete, A couple of books that are fun to read the words of: Trout Fishing in America - which I think you already own ;) as well as The Road, and finally House of a Thousand Leaves

The drawing is marvelous, and it's a milestone... Books: Loving them since I was a kid: - "The Dreaming Jewels", by Theodore Sturgeon - "Ubik", by Philip K. Dick Recent reads: - "Ice", by Anna Kavan - Auto-da-Fé, by Elias Canetti - "The Invincible", by Stanislaw Lem Next: - Something by Ursula K. Le Guin, but not the Earthsea cycle because it's fantasy Talking about books setting you up for something and then when it happens you lose interest: 2020's "Piranese", by Susanna Clarke, is one of those, but it's a must! just forget I wrote this, and read it for the mesmerizing universe until...

I love the hypermobility representation in Fourth Wing. The first one is so good. I also think it's less like Hogwarts cause it's a military school essentially.

I read Fairy Tale, and I liked it. I already like Stephen King's writing, I find it easy to read his books, it's like he is a master storyteller or something. You'd think he's written a lot of books or something. Anyway, I found it pretty great. I do agree that it's a slow burn. I feel like you may appreciate The Talisman, it has a much different flavor, it's one of his earliest publications, and Peter Straub co-authored it. It also has a very interestingly parallel theme. Several of Stephen King's books do that 'people from reality find a portal into the fantasy,' but to me it really works. I think he has a subtle and unifying theme of allegory in the things he writes. Talisman immediately became my favorite book of his. I tried to listen to Stranger in a Strange Land as an audio book years ago. I generally prefer to read rather than listen, but listening isn't so bad. It's also something I can do while doing something else, so it's kinda like, when I refuse to take time aside to read, I look for the audiobook instead. Anyway, Stranger probably has a lot to offer, I just got bored before it got going. a final little observation about Stephen King... and not that I claim to be an authority on psychology nor on him personally, but I bet that something which makes a book successful actually can work against us. As in, what makes a book successful is if it grabs attention, and, I feel like a storyteller develops a fear of being boring, and this all leads toward writing "spicy" novels instead of ones that just fit like a shoe. I think some readers want to be titilated, and other want the shoe feeling. Silly analogy maybe but anyway the observation is just that he's mellowed out. Most of his works involve fantasy, but with a very dark twist. And now that he has mellowed out, he produces things without even caring if they 'make the cut,' the 'cut' now is just his internal compass. That isn't a critique of his later books, of which I have only read a couple, it's just an observation. I thought that in Fairy Tale, it taking (if I remember correctly) half of the book before the "adventure" starts is telling. It's like we are to be strongly anchored in reality, so that the fantasy world bears full contrast with it. It also felt very unique to read from his other books because it simply didn't feel sinister. I guess I felt like the bad guys in it had already lost, almost like they didn't make me afraid, but simply threatened the world as we know it... yet there was this kind of sense that it is impossible for the bad guys to win. An overwhelming confidence in the side of the good, and the main character rather than fighting to survive (like usual in his style of books), is fulfilling an ancient duty, and winning the battle is a matter of taking out the rubbish. Anyway, blah blah blah lol just my thoughts on it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, kinda makes me want to go back and finish Fairy Tale, but we’ll see. There’s so many good books out there, I don’t want to keep going on one if I’m not enjoying it!

@peter_draws READ ENDER'S GAME. The first book is like a slightly more intelligent YA novel (Not the best), but the sequels are where its at in my opinion. Speaker for the Dead (second book) is a very grand philosophical sci-fi, and is probably the best book I've ever read. Also the whole series has a quite competent audio cast.

Yeah Enders game is one of the first great sci fi books I read as a kid, it definitely left a big impression on me

Hi peter, a good audiobook series I'd recommend are The Witcher books - the first two are a collection of short stories so you can try a few to see if they're to your style. The books strike a nice balance between grand affairs of state and personal struggles and are overall very well written, so are definitely worth a read Thanks for another great video!

I'd love to recommend a scifi author that I've come to love, Peter: Harry Harrison. I have only read a few of his books but I have been loving them so far

Peter, you're cool.

Love all of your art Peter. Keep up the good work. As another fellow commenter recommended, I would suggest the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. I cant emphasize enough how good it is.

Yo, Peter. thanks for the content. You should definitely read some Stanislaw Lem's novels if you didn't already. "Fiasco"is one of my favourite sci-fi book.

u should look into "daim". hes a graffiti artist from germany. he does awsome 3ds... reminds me of him

Peter you should check out the book "geometry for ocelots" very interesting. Sci Fi philosophy with animal gods. Very fun

For be, the best of hard SF is the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson: from this book has been defined the flag of Mars, used by every missions going there, whatever the originating country (USA, China, etc...). you will leran tons of things about many sciences, mechanics, biology, botanic, psychology, politics...

Philippe Druillet out - Peter Draws in😁

1. Did you fix it? If not I would worry that some graphite would transfer to the glass over time. 2. About half of Neal Stephenson's books are hard scifi. I was impressed by Seveneves. He's the only writer I've encountered anywhere near the scope of 3-Body Problem, my favorite.

I wonder if you'll ever use up all of the pages of every notebook you have (minus skips for ink bleeding)

Enjoyd the video!

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini.

OUR COSMIC ORGIN BY ISMAEL PEREZ ♥️

Hail Mary!

I recently read, Roger Zelazny's Dream Master. Its scifi, with a good sense of realism. But the basic premise is a future where psychology and therapy have created a technology to connect mental imagery from patient to doctor. And a doctor meets a patient who was born blind, so theyve never seen anything. Thats the basic plot point it revolves around. It released in 1966, and its pretty cool to see how they saw the future of technology then. And how some things are very similar now. I found it pretty interesting, and also listened to it on audiobook format. A youtube video actually. Hope you check it out, its a pretty quick book, maybe 5 hours or so! ✌️

You might like Jeff Long books :)

Thanks for the book tips! I don't know if you've read any Neil Gaiman? "The Ocean at the end of the Lane" is beautiful I think. I also enjoyd Isaac Asimovs classic "I. Robot" if you haven't read that one yet. I'm not sure wich ones of John Ajvide Lindqvist's books have been translated to English apart from "Let the Right One In" but he is my FAVE author. Love his mix of fantasy, horror and mystery. And whatever you do AVOID the Witcher series. Sorry, the books are just poorly written and WHO CARES about the boob size of every single female character? (slight exaggeration) If you want to read something that isn't sci-fi or fantasy I would recommend trying out the Swedish author Jonas Hassen Khemiri, his "Everything I Don't Remember" was truly gripping. Long time since a story really captured me like that. And I figure you already know about and have listened to "Welcome to Night Vale" podcast and/or book? If not I think you'd like them. Anyways, keep on keeping on. You're terrific Peter!

I also didn’t finish Fairytale by Stephen King. I wanted to like it but just couldn’t. Nothing happened.
