Holy absolute shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie- Doolio...
Had I been more active during April, I would've seen that post :/
Look, you know what? Doctors don't know what they're on about sometimes. I mean they even stuffed your diagnosis up a couple of times. I can relate to that.
I reckon you're gonna prove all of them wrong and you _will_ get back to drawing sooner than the time they allocated. Seriously man, I believe in that 100%!
I would suggest not to aggravate the nerve -- if you're fighting fire with fire with nerve damage - let me tell you, things can only get worse. Take your time, take it slow. Maybe limit that 30 to 10 and just do drawing exercises like straight lines, ellipsis', etc, just so that you don't lose drawing skill.
I wish you all of the absolute best in your recovery man <3 <3 <3
In relation to your idea:
Fck yes! Lord Shia hath given you thy answer.
It sounds like a fantastic, original idea. If I was totally into becoming an anime artist, these tutorials would be something I would drool over.
Now, in regards to sharing your work, Amit made some great points. I would like to add that Instagram and Tumblr are huge platforms. I have seen intermediate artists reach 10k followers on Instagram, it's insane - however, they do have over 1k posts on Instagram... so you've gotta take that into account. Hashtags are important on these sites, more so than Twitter - but at the same time, don't abuse them. I would suggest you target sites that are anime loving, such as Tumblr, deviantART (them journals) and whatnot. Perhaps if you send notes to bigger name artists on Tumblr/dA, they could help push your tutorials.
So that Hootsuite is an excellent idea, I'm gonna have to try it out m'self. I've been using "If This That That" (IFTT), an app that allows you to create recipes such and then activate them when you wish, such as "When you post on Instagram, also post on Twitter, as a native Twitter picture", meaning if I choose to have this recipe turned on, when I post to Insta, it'll simultaneously post to Twitter the same pic, but as a Twitter pic so that it's visible to all (77 lmao) of my Twitter followers and won't redirect them to my Instagram, if you get me?
Anyway, there are tons of recipes, you can even make you own. Might come to good use in your pursuit.
If you're gonna post to Facebook... yeaaaaaaah I'd use an app like Hootsuite. Facebook is so dirty and such a time waster. So much spam and eugh... Just sync the posts you write on Tumblr/Medium/Twitter/whichever, to get the ball rolling with that. Though perhaps contacting people like Amit suggested could come in handy. Probably dudes interested/have a similar style to what you're going from.
So yeah, I reckon it's a bloody brilliant idea Doolio and something that you could really focus your recoup time on (as opposed to fighting fire with fire o:< if your body is telling you to something like I dunno *ouch*, you better well rest <3 <3 I say this because I care and I don't want things to get any worse for you man!)
Take care and I'm looking forward to updates on this project! o/ o/
