Hey Zesiul,
I am no pro, so please feel free to disregard everything below...
The first thing I would do is start looking for something that may provide a steady income stream that will support your living expenses. If your part-time job doesn't cut it, start looking for something that will, unless you feel that sporatic freelance gigs will get you by in the near-term.
Trying to find a steady stream of freelance work within a four month window is an EXTREMELY tall order, in my opinion.
If you are solid in graphic design, that may be a place to start, as this will provide you with the peace of mind, and a bit of additional time to flush out your portfolio, and build a name for yourself.
Just don't lose sight of what you really want to do. I stopped drawing for almost 10 years, and now there probably isn't much of a chance that I will ever truly be able to transition into the art field...too many expenses to take the pay hit...
Best of luck pursuing your dream job.
Regards,
Brian
