Hi CGhub. I guess this can double as an introductory post. My name is Justin. I'm 22 and I graduated last year. I went to ITT Techinial Institute for the Bachelor's of Digital Entertainment and Game Design. Upon graduating, I realized that the majority of what I learned wasn't art related. This disappointed me greatly because I really want to focus on the art side of things. This is an area where I always wanted to get better at. During the summer that I graduated, I got into some bad habits. I got really lazy and I never improved on what little that I knew. Finding a job in my field is a nightmare because I don't nearly have the experience that I would want to qualify for one. For now I'm stuck doing a job that I really don't like, fast food. This made me feel even worse. Every day I visit facebook, it makes me mad to see my peers passing me up in life. It makes it even worse when I see people that are years younger than me doing amazing things like the stuff I see here and other sites like DeviantArt. What should I do to get out of this rut? I really want to get better at 2D art as well as 3D art. Where should I start? I feel that at my age, I should be pro by now.

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. the extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning!

Don't envy or be jealous of anyone and be responsible to take a stand and dare yourself.
As you are the only person to make your own destiny. Stop whining and start working.
Learning is the ultimate place of PEACE AND ZEN....So learn and work hard to pick up the momentum and cover the distance which took others so many years.WOrk work and work and stop complaining!
And regarding the age- It's not the age, it's the Mileage

It's just motivation and i would suggest you to read
