Clip Studio Paint Live Drawing Party
On November 17, 2020, I was officially invited by CELSYS, creators of Clip Studio Paint, to participate as a featured artist in their Creative Together! Connected Ink 21-hour Drawing Party. This global livestreamed event was part of Wacom’s Connected Ink—a major international forum exploring the future of creative pen and digital content technology.

YouTube Livestream – Ian David Marsden: “The City at Night”
Broadcast live from my studio in France, I illustrated the theme “The City at Night” using Clip Studio Paint on a Wacom Cintiq 27 QHD Touch. The 90-minute session allowed real-time interaction with a global audience via live chat. Viewers followed the entire digital workflow—from sketch to final render—while asking questions and exchanging insights during the broadcast.
About the Event
The Creative Together! Drawing Party was an official CELSYS event showcasing the global illustration community through Clip Studio Paint. Over the course of 21 hours, 60 selected creators from around the world took turns drawing live in rotating groups of four. Each session offered a unique, unscripted glimpse into the techniques and styles of professionals working across disciplines and cultures.
The event was part of Connected Ink, Wacom’s annual international summit on digital pen technology, education, and creative innovation.
