Interesting development i will be looking at it in more detail thanks to your post. This is a very cool stuff and it will profit the communication levels on the web.

It just needs the right content to go with it. Traditional blog posts or even podcasts won't do. You need to think like a teacher in front of a class. How about sketchcasting on improving the transfer of communication through both audio and visual stimuli, and the immediacy and intimacy of a sketch rather than a screencast. This matches the informality of blogging. Good, intriguing stuff. I was blown away by this. It just needs the right content to go with it. Traditional blog posts or even podcasts won’t do.

I think I will try it in future but using a paint package and screen recorder. My machine didn't like the interface very much. In the real world drawing and talking seemed natural but thinking about it I am not sure if it was the fact I was recording that put me off - I am still not used to recording my voice and it locks me up somewhat :) @Randa - Heh, my drawing ability is usually marginally better than that :) @Vyoma - Nice yoda :) @Steven - He's a real nice bloke, a complete diamond. Better not say too much though as we don't want him to get big headed ;) @Karthik – Yeah I have seen it done before. I think I will try it in future but using a paint package and screen recorder.

I think I'll be using this a lot because I blog about beadwork, and it is often important to show the order the beads are added to the project Joann I had less problem with sketching using the graphics pad, but I think that’s because I often use the pad to navigate, rather than the track pad on my laptop.

I hadn't really thought before that it might be difficult to talk and draw at the same time, but I can see where it could trip you up. I've been impressed with skecthcasting in general and have liked most of the ones I've seen. It's a great idea. I've yet to try one myself, but looking forward to one day giving it a shot. By the way I've been watching Darren's videos too and one thought that occurred to me last week is that Darren has to be the most genuine person in the industry.

It can be <a href="http://kmaheshbhat.com/blog/sketchcast-fat-yoda" rel="nofollow">fun</a> too. I just stumbled across it yesterday. :P Sketchcasting can be useful. It can be fun too.

I'd like to try it sometime if I happen upon the right topic. Nice job with your first one, although for a minute I thought you were drawing a guy giving someone the finger! ;) I think the idea of sketchcasting is totally cool.

I'd read John Chow's post on the same yesterday - like I mentioned in the comments there, Sketchcasting has been around for sometime; honestly, I ran into it over a month or two earlier. I guess I can associate to your problem with speaking while sketching - the idea didn't exactly gel with me either, but its certainly worth appreciating. In fact, if I remember right, there are blogs that use this technique *alone* to teach concepts. They say it achieves what conventional classrooms could do. But honestly, I don't know how different it is of taking a video of yourself while doing the same thing on a whiteboard!
