Express to your parents what you've expressed in this message?
Write it all down and ask them to sit and listen. Maybe let passion for the art career you want to pursue show through.
Any kind of formal training you can sign up for, be it night classes or something if you are worried your folks won't get on board with what they might perceive as ditching education entirely.
If you have a lot of work show it to them, and/or tell it to them. Explain what you have learned thus far and maybe the next few stages your tackling and why so many hours need to be put in consistently etc etc.
I really think honesty and putting the time into writing something very clear just to say, "I'm making a big decision here and your support is going to really effect how I move ahead with it"
This is just a gut reaction to reading your post.
If it is of any help I am very glad!
