In the VTuber era, what is the right way of thinking to make a living with illustration? What should you do to become better at drawing? How can you turn drawing into a job?
The latest revised edition of that "Techniques to Live off Illustration," which unravels the method of thinking, learning to draw, communicating it to others, and connecting it to a job—rather than relying on mere talent or sensibility—has finally arrived with the majority of the text completely refreshed.
Sensitively capturing the changes in trends among people who want to draw illustrations and those who evaluate them, it reveals a comprehensive survival strategy for illustrators, including what to pay attention to when working on art and what needs to be done outside of just drawing. While updating the copying practice methods to reflect the latest art styles, the revised edition also features newly recorded content on how to interact with the VTuber theme, which has become the biggest motif in the illustration industry. Catch up with the times through Niritsu's verbalization.
