“Illustrators, VTubers, and Management. Don't you want to know what illustrators are thinking?”
In the VTuber era, what is the correct mindset for making a living through illustrations? How can one improve their drawing skills? How can one turn drawing into a profession?
This is the latest revised edition of the acclaimed 'The Art of Making a Living with Illustrations,' which delves into methods for learning, communicating, and connecting art to work, not just through talent or sensibility. A large portion of the text has been updated and it is finally here.
This book keenly captures the changing trends for those who want to draw illustrations and those who evaluate them, revealing what to pay attention to when approaching artwork. It also comprehensively discloses survival strategies for illustrators, such as what to do besides drawing. The practice method of copying has been updated with the latest art styles, and the revised edition newly includes how to engage with VTubers, who have become the biggest motif in the illustration industry. Catch up with the times through Niritsu's articulation.
