I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but where can I find Vilppu's books? And instructional books on drawing in general?

I’m falling apart fuck I love this lmao

If you guys post socials I’ll follow you. I want to make frens and shit can be pretty raw out there. I’d rather have iron sharpen iron.

I’ve been dealing with a recent death in the family and a make-or-break deadline, I’m wicked stressed and browsing /ic/ of all things is the only thing that’s calming my anxiety while my hands are tied by travel and family obligations. I feel you.
Having been in your shoes not even a whole year ago I would actually persist and keep on drawing, as long as you’re not living like shit and you have your expenses covered. Even if you started working and it was a serious time commitment I’d still continue drawing seriously. I didn’t start making real money off of my art for at least that first 5-6 years of drawing, and I didn’t go pro until this year and I’m 26. I’m not even as good as half of /ic/, I’m probably half the draftsmen you are, but it’s paying my expenses and I’ve moved out, and we’re still going, it’s like a life raft that has a fixed supply of food and water and I don’t know if I’ll actually make it to land. But I’m afloat right now so I’ve gotta paddle.

That’s a pretty tight deadline for something that’ll always be a continual life journey, be a bit easier on yourself.

You’re already great man. I seriously mean it, and I want to see you continue. Whatever is eating at your body, all I see are 1) very well constructed bodies for Otachan(I think?), I could be fooled into thinking these were production sketches, and 2) monumental triumph of raw skill and craft, and triumph over whatever disability you’ve got.
And you’re definitely a better draftsman than I am despite whatever illness stops you from drawing more.

I’m a sappy max character limit blogposter but I hope that both of you guys will be alright. You seem like real lads and it’d be cool if we became friends.
