Peter Deligdisch (Peter Draws) is a Greensboro, NC-based artist known for highly detailed black-and-white pen-and-ink work. He's been drawing daily for over 15 years, published a book through Penguin Random House, and posts process videos spanning pen, ink, charcoal, acrylic, oil, colored pencil, and pyrography.
A large part of Peter’s practice is sharing and documenting his work and process online, where he has posted thousands of videos and accumulated over 1 million followers. His videos are slow-paced and quietly narrated, drawing an ASMR-adjacent audience. Peter's stated goal is to make art-making feel accessible to anyone, not just trained artists.
His most recent book, The Incomprehendium (2025), is a self-published 500+ page hardcover collecting a decade of his ink, pencil, and mixed-medium work, with a foreword by artist Kevin Ward.
Every Monday at 12pm ET, he adds a new page to Sketchbook Monday, an ongoing series of consecutive sketchbook drawings posted weekly.
1,300+ Videos
Peter has been making videos for almost 2 decades. Most of the videos are art related; time-lapses of him drawing or doodling or sketching. However, there are many detours into other strange obsessions. Wherever his brain leads him, he follows, and tries to document and share it.
