Drawing Live Online

UStream

Earlier tonight, the previously blogged Len Peralta drew a self portrait live online for fans of his burgeoning monster empire. He used a site called UStream.tv, which also allows for live chat so Len could respond to questions as he worked. Questions like “are you right handed?”, which was hopefully asked facetiously. (Click on the image above to go to the half hour video.)

It would be fun to have the posters bark orders at an artist as he or she draws. “Now draw a duck!” “Now a marsupial!” “Now draw me!”

What will the internet think of next?

    Yeah, the idea’s great, but the technology has a tiny bit of catching up to do. I had to remove the embedded video–it was automatically playing for some reason.
    I think part of the reason the audio went out is because he wasn’t talking the whole time, just when questions were asked.

    I’m having problems commenting. I left a comment before the last one, but it’s not taking.

    Needless to say, the process of live streaming is cool, but confusing.

    I had the same idea– started up a show on Ustream of me drawing but ended up not having the time for a regular show (it is summer after all!). But I am glad someone’s having a more successful time at it :)
