Having many goals to hit isn't bad. I think putting them off by working on something other than your goals is. Not that it's a sacrilegious thing to do, since I believe every member here shares that same predicament at least one point in their lives. It's probably why people fall off the art wagon for the most part..
Regardless whether or not you're at the skill level you imagine yourself to be, I think you should do your illustration, or painting, or comics, or whatever it is you got cooking up in there.
Good luck. Welcome to the Crimson Daggers.
Thank you!
What I wanted to say with that statement is that usually having an art goal is useful in the sense that you know what to work towards and it gives an idea on how to prioritize your skills set and all that... It basically gives an idea of "ok to be a comic artist I need to be good/decent at this and that"... whereas not really having a goal leaves you in this place where you're not really sure what could be useful to you in the future, so you end up (at least I do) thinking that you have to develop a lot of skills and invest a lot of time in a lot of things just in case y'know...
