Hey man, like ben said above Bridgman anatomy is pretty awesome for learning how muscles fit and how limbs move. The forearm is super tricky so don't beat yourself up about not getting it straight away, but yeah, Bridgman defiantly helped me.
Those x ray studies look pretty cool too man, you've already made some decent progress here so just keep hammering those studies!
As for the parent thing, ive been in the same boat man. I finished uni with nothing and chose to move back into my parents to hammer the studies. I also have to work 2-4 times a week to put food in front of myself amounts other stuff. At my parents I don't have a bed or a desk or anything. I work off a dining room table and sleep on the sofa. It all sounds shit, and well, it is! But in all this you gain something others with better positions don't. You gain desperation and that will force your back against the wall which will MAKE you take action. There's always going to be people in worse positions than yourself who make it work out and succeed and people who are after the same dream as you are working harder, so you have to ask yourself, completely honestly, what is it you want? And what are you willing to sacrifice to get it?
That got pretty deep lol but it hope it helps man. You'll be surprised how many are in the same boat man so don't feel alone. Just put that work in and never give up on your dreams.
I have a sketchbook before this one, which was when I first started with my back against the wall. It might help coz I had very similar thoughts as you at that point - http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthr...sketchbook
and hannes is always a good inspiration - http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthr...Sketchbook!
