I understand!

Most of the time people watch streams to learn tips and tricks.
I havent had this happen but if it makes you happier hun go with the flow.

Well that's a shame. :c

people seem to forget that its fine to learn and reference, but in the end you need to throw your own work into your art. that's what makes it "unique". They keep stopping short x_x

Sorry to hear about that, but it is quite understandable. ^^

I've debated doing this for the same reason.

Only reason I don't is because I wouldn't get much work done and is lose customers. Why not just crop your brush settings out and layers out. When I stream only my canvas is visible

They find out how I do.. I don't get how they do but they do and they see how I line and color and guess the brushes since it's an obvious difference. ; - ;

I do that and people still do it ; n ;

That makes it hard yeah.

I agree with symphony. There's no way to stream without people learning from it and d unfortunately having those that duplicate or try to.

I wish more people had respect for artists and their styles

I actually have watched a few streams to understand certain aspects of what they do. I at best really only go for the coloring/effects ones because I want to understand emulate certain qualities because, frankly, I can't figure out a style I want and just go for what I'd like to see more of that I could create myself. Most people's style is based on how, if not completely as, the way they were shown by an instructor or guide. I can draw all fine and well and there are certain things from the people I study that I don't care for, so I don't incorporate them. But sometimes one can't just learn from the word and still images from a book. Hell, that's why cooking shows can be better teachers than cookbooks.
