Actually it's really good question you've been asking. Personally I think the difference between top pro and aspiring artist is state of mind. I mean you have to be really passionate about what you do, so you can keep challenging yourself. I think Daniel Warren talk about it in one of his streams. Many artists stuck in (what i call) medicore purgatory. When they produce ok work but are so busy, going from paycheck to paycheck that they somewhere down the line stop improving and stagnate. I'm getting through this as well. I'm so busy with my day job and so tired that I barely have energy to study and paint after my work hours. I know I need to get out of this habit and start challenging myself to grow.

I also think your getting a little deceived by the numbers. You are saying that number of top pro artists is very low. And you are right to some extend. But it's not as low as you may think. Think about all those artists that are hidden in studios around the world, doing amazing proffessional work but are to busy/not willing to post online. So don't get discouraged and keep doing what you're doing. It takes so muuuuch time to get to the top and you'll eventually get there if you work your way through. We all will. Peace!

Oh and great update ;) As always I digg your pencils, they're awesome <3
