/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

How do you cope with basic needs anon?
Do you live off NEETbux or somehow find time to git gud at your primary work?
I'm asking because my own happy NEET days are coming to an end, but I can't get money from art yet, no one would buy that awful shit.
I'm leeching off my parents and they are constantly telling me I'm never going to make it so I have to find real normie work and forget about art.
But art is the only thing that keeps me sane and gives me purpose, I cannot just throw it away, it always ended badly. Last time I was wagecuck, it ate all my time, fucked up my progress, will to live, soul and ended up in hospital in exchange for small amount of green devil paper.

I believe I have almost perfect curriculum set, all I need is to survive two years to get on my feet and start working with my buddy who is currently junior iOS developer-in-training.
Unlike him though I don't know any form of wageslavery that will let me learn and get paid for it at the same time without fucking me up.

What are my options besides obvious rope? Please do share.
