Remote live drawing
remote live drawing
Remote live drawing is when an illustrator draws “live” at an online meeting or at a conference.
In other words, it is the same as a live drawing event, graphic recording, or a live visualization – except that it all happens online – and is shared on a screen.
During Corona lock down, most companies suddenly understood the power of online digital events and the number of digital meetings exploded.
Today we do a lot of REMOTE and digital live recordings broadcasted and streamed all over the world.

Visualize your strategy digitally
There are many benefits of having an illustrator at your conference. And a lot of companies are gradually making the transition from analogue to REMOTE and DIGITAL visualization.
In fact, it is a service we have offered for many years. But it has now become one of our most requested services in a very short time, during which we have attended an incredible number of strategy sessions and workshops.
The value of bringing your strategy to life and making it tangible and understandable is huge.
The way it works? An illustrator from Levende Streg is invited to an online meeting, where we participate on an equal footing with everyone else – and listen and watch – while we drawing. This also goes for huge live events – where we draw remote and digitally.
Remote graphic recording
We tailor live drawing events to match your needs and your company’s profile. Below, you can find examples and learn about the benefits.
Research shows that people who drew during a test remembered 29% more information than those who did not. Imagine how effective it can be when the drawings directly support what you are reading or working on!
Make complex ideas clear and visual
Real-time visualization creates clarity, insight, strengthens collaboration, and provides an overview of complex processes.
Remote live drawing simplifies complex topics by turning them into visual images that are easy to understand. It creates clarity and makes it easier for participants to see connections and act on ideas.
By illustrating messages in the moment, understanding is improved and participants’ attention is maintained. This interactive form of communication not only makes the content easier to remember, but also gives participants a sense of being seen, heard, and understood.
co-creation
Remote live drawing is an effective tool for co-creation, mind mapping, and collaboration in digital spaces, especially when working with complex topics such as customer journeys, product development, and strategy.
Co-creative: The illustrator translates ideas and input into clear, shared visuals in real time, creating clarity and strengthening collaboration.
Mind mapping: Visualization organizes ideas and reveals patterns, making complex processes easier to understand.
Co-creation: Participants actively contribute to the visual output, fostering innovation and ensuring that all perspectives are included.
Visual communication creates understanding
All participants experience the live visual drawing in real time, creating an immediate sense of connection.
Benefits during the meeting: This sense of cohesion helps your participants gain insights and make better decisions as they follow the graphic facilitation—whether it takes place on a large screen or online.
Benefits after the meeting: When the meeting ends, you are left with a visual summary that serves as useful documentation of the content and outcomes. It can be used to strengthen communication and support follow-up after the event.
Co-creation on the sideline
Remote live drawing is the perfect tool for visual and iterative work with complex topics such as customer journeys, product development, or corporate strategies.
Engaging: Our illustrators work closely with your moderator, event manager, or facilitator and co-create with your experts. In this way, all perspectives are clearly represented.
Accessible: The drawing process takes place in the background, while at the same time serving as a central focal point for the event—a place where participants naturally gather to continue conversations during breaks. If desired, the illustrator can also take a more active role in summaries and group work.

Here you can see an example of what an analog visual summary looks like—compared to a digital summary, which is often created on a drawing tablet or iPad.
See the case of the analog visual summary drawn by Maria Prohazka from Levende Streg and Erik Petri.
Useful long after the meeting
With digital remote live drawing, you get a visual summary that not only captures the essence of the meeting but can also be adapted and updated afterwards.
This means the summary remains relevant and useful long after the event—as a dynamic resource for both internal and external communication.

Remote live drawing (vector)
Remote live drawing works by the illustrator working remotely from a digital drawing screen and livestreaming the result directly to a large screen during your event.
The drawings are created in vector format, which allows precise adjustments of elements and colours and ensures a consistent and professional visual identity.
Benefits of remote live drawing:
- Creates a dynamic and engaging event experience.
- Makes it easy to make real-time adjustments without starting over.
- Ensures unlimited scalability without loss of quality (vector graphics).
- Preserves clear and vibrant colours over time.
- Drawings can be reused for print or in new contexts.
- Fast to load and easy to edit afterwards.
- Enables content reuse across digital platforms.
Digital live drawing (iPad)
Benefits of live drawing on iPad
Live drawing on iPad (bitmap graphics) combines advanced drawing tools with great flexibility. It makes it possible to make quick adjustments and iterations in real time.
Benefits of live drawing:
- Takes place directly at the venue, creating a sense of presence.
- Easy to share and export the finished work digitally (bitmap graphics).
- During breakout sessions, the illustrator can move freely between groups.
- Creates a dynamic and interactive experience for participants.
- Simplifies complex messages and makes them easier to understand.
- Enables a wide range of brushes and techniques that create clarity and make messages quickly understandable.
Read more about live drawing
Live drawing on location adds an immediate and authentic dimension to any event.
A direct connection is created between the illustrator and the participants, where observers can follow the creative process from the very first line and become part of the creative journey.
Your audience remembers 65% more.
New studies show that people who only read text remember 10 percent of what they have read after three days.
Those who see text paired with images remember 65% more of the information three days later.
Most people have always known it – especially those who, as children, watched Jørgen Clevin draw and tell stories on DR1.
benefits of remote visualisering
Live drawing creates a platform for co-creation, where all participants can contribute ideas that are immediately visualised and brought to life.
This iterative process fosters creativity, innovation, and a sense of shared ownership of the outcome.
Make complex ideas clear and visual
Remote live drawing helps transform complex topics and abstract ideas into clear, visual images.
By using illustrations and graphic elements, even the most challenging concepts can be made accessible and easy to understand, so all participants quickly gain a shared overview and can move forward.
Strengthen collaboration through shared understanding
A shared visual language makes it easier for participants to understand each other and work towards common goals.
Live drawing ensures that all inputs are represented and transformed into something tangible that supports dialogue and strengthens collaboration between team members with different backgrounds and perspectives.
Create engagement and focus during meetings
When ideas and conversations are turned into cartoons and satirical drawings in real time, it creates a dynamic experience that keeps participants’ attention.
Visual storytelling makes complex discussions more interesting and engaging, leading to increased focus and better results.
From words to images: making strategies tangible
Strategies can often feel abstract and difficult to relate to. Remote live drawing transforms them into visual narratives that make them concrete and easy to understand.
The visual format brings strategies to life, helping teams translate ideas into action.
Faster decision-making with overview and insight
Visual summaries provide a clear overview of complex discussions and issues.
This makes it easier for participants to identify key points and make informed decisions more quickly, as they share a common understanding of the topic.
Increases participants’ ownership and engagement
When participants’ ideas are visualised in real time, it creates a sense that their input is being heard and acknowledged.
This process strengthens engagement and gives participants greater ownership of the outcome, making the solutions more sustainable.
Interaction creates shared ownership
Our Kahoot solution (or alternative apps) enables participants to interact live, chat, take part in polls, and join brainstorming sessions via a simple link.
Benefits of the solution:
- Participants remain focused on the content.
- Anonymity encourages more people to take part.
- Participant input can be integrated directly.
- Participants feel seen, heard, and involved.
- It makes the meeting more fun and engaging.
the benefits of live drawing
the brains loves visual communication
Our brains process visual information much more easily than written information.
In fact, we process visual information 60,000 times faster than reading or listening.
Therefore, using diagrams, graphs, infographics and tangible drawings ensures faster understanding.
the drawing effect
Many strategies and reports are so formalized and detailed that they do not make information vivid and memorable for your recipient.
Visualization, on the other hand, means that your recipient understands your strategy, your visions, must-win battles and gets the big picture.
It is called “the drawing effect”.
See the big picture
One of the great benefits of a live visualization is that you get the bigger picture – some companies call it the helicopter perspective.
It gives you the opportunity to see your company’s strategy, milestones, goals and visions in the short and long term.
It therefore provides the opportunity for an overview, understanding and retelling.
