Well for the job side, just look at companies you'd wanna work for and create a portfolio that would match their style, then send your stuff in to the art director. I think Rigney said, "other people will see it before you do." as far as being ready. You'll start getting commissions when the stars line up, but it takes that good sense of proportion. (and make sure youre on social media which presumably you are...)

I know this will sound crazy, but just give painting a break, nothing but lines for a while, just focus on basic shapes, do Drawabox from the very first lesson, learn how to draw cubes right, straight lines, curved lines. That stuff comes back and will make your stuff so much more cohesive. I promise you dude, look at all the pros, their drawings alone are enough to excite the hell out of people. Gotta get that first, the painting should just be an afterthought. A drawing should look good even at its roughest stages and look three dimensional. All the shading in the world will not save a bad drawing my friend
