Awesome. Straight-forward and simple, with no distracting filler. Thanks for making this.

any time you use livestream to brodcast, it saves it to be viewed later at any time on your livestream account, accessible to anyone who visits.

I have never live streamed. What is it?

foxshine In reply to EllisArts [2011-07-21 20:36:36 +0000 UTC]

its a website that hosts a streaming service and the recordings of those streams. they have a weblauncher but also software you can download to stream live video and audio of your computer screen or, using a webcam, any natural media or televisual concept you can think of. they have several quality options to stream with, so you can adjust your quality to what your computer can handle. It also has its own chat feature, and both facebook and twitter chat feeds, so you can interact with your watchers as you broadcast.

www.livestream.com should take you to their main page. I use livestream, and I find it pretty easy to use. All live shows are recorded as you broadcast, and when you stop, it asks you to name the broadcast. After, you can visit your own livestream page and view it later, and so can everyone else.

foxshine In reply to EllisArts [2011-07-21 21:25:02 +0000 UTC]

its also free. You can get better options with a subscription, but there are so many available to a free account that you wont need the other options unless you're doing a hardcore webshow.

So mгср steps... I just never get to your level, because I do not have so much patience x.x

Time = patience
No patience = no time = no practice = no art like yours x.x

What program do you use out of curiosity? I'm purty skint so I can't really afford the latest Photoshops, etc. Also do you use Graphics Tablets?

EllisArts In reply to CoffeeGrunt [2011-07-21 20:19:19 +0000 UTC]

CoffeeGrunt In reply to EllisArts [2011-07-21 20:33:06 +0000 UTC]

I don't know what the first one is and the second one is expensive. XD

How about Paint and a laptop Touchpad?

I kid, what's a good, fairly cheap tablet to get?

You could download Hypercam or Camstudio, which record what you do on-screen. You could record your drawings then upload them to youtube.
I prefer Camstudio.

Anyway, I really love this, especially step 8. ;)

I may have to try this. It may be more helpful to folks rather than just pics of it.
