Use built-in screen recording or software like ScreenFlow to capture your digital art process.
Create timelapse videos
Speed up footage to 4x-8x and trim to 8-15 minutes for maximum engagement.
Add educational commentary
Record voiceovers explaining your technique, color choices, and artistic intent.
Upload with SEO optimization
Use keywords in titles, descriptions, and tags to rank for searches like 'digital art tutorial'.
Digital Art Tools & Setup
Use Procreate, Photoshop, or Clip Studio Paint on a tablet. Screen recording is easier with digital art, making content production faster and more consistent.
Timelapse & Speed Painting Content
Record your full art process and speed it up to 4x-8x. Timelapse videos are highly shareable and perform well on YouTube Shorts and Reels.
