I never would have imagined how complicated the process is, how many types of pens, etc. the mangaka uses, and how much of it is a trial and error method. Bakuman really hasn't done it justice.
Also, turns out that some of the "white dots" on the SFX that cleaners tend to remove thinking they're there due to poor print quality are actually intentional - I watched Murata drawing some SFX last week. After the sketch was done, he first outlined them with a marker, then filled them black, after which he used a white out pen to add some "noise".
Anyway, I can watch it for hours, it never ceases to amaze me. Though, you need to catch the time when he's actually drawing and not staring on a blank page for half an hour xD
I think that he's making the first sketches earlier in the week, and inking nearer Friday/Saturday (not sure, I've only had time to watch it three times so far).
Oh, in case you want to see some of his older live streams, they're also available as videos on his ustream channel.
In any case, here's the link: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nebu-kuro1/

Being the lazy person that I am, I'm not likely to accept anything long-term though.
