Twitch is best known as the go-to platform for top-tier gamers streaming titles like Dota 2—check out our guides on 3 of the Most Noob-Friendly Dota 2 Heroes (and a Few to Avoid)—League of Legends, and World of Warcraft. Our beginner's guide to Getting Started with World of Warcraft has helped countless new players dive in. But now, Twitch is expanding beyond gaming with painting and more.
In partnership with Adobe, Twitch has launched its Creative category. To kick things off, every episode of Bob Ross's iconic 'The Joy of Painting' is streaming all week. It's unrelated to esports, yet utterly captivating—much like the non-gaming streams we highlighted in 7 Twitch Streamers to Watch If Sports (or Esports) Isn't Your Thing.
Viewers are already embracing creativity, from painting sessions to woodworking projects. If you're new to woodworking, our article Woodworking for Beginners: 5 Skills You Need to Know covers essential techniques to build confidence.
Head to the new Creative landing page to watch the Bob Ross marathon, the most-viewed channel right now. Interested in streaming your own creative work? Use Twitch's new tagging system to categorize your painting, woodworking, or other activities. Tools from our guide Run a Better Twitch Stream with These Tools can help elevate your setup—success comes from dedication and quality content.
