It kind of happened by chance actually.
Since a young age I knew I wanted to make video games but wasn't sure in what way. I didn't want to be a 3D guy or programmer and thought they wouldn't hire someone to come up purely for the ideas(lolwat?) I sort of gave up on my dream for a few years and didn't know what to do, as my plan was always "make games." Sometime last year I stumbled in front of Sickbrush's stream by pure chance, I had nothing to do with art before that and I'm not sure how I got there. He was painting a swamp environment, not the most interesting thing to non-art people but I couldn't stop watching. I kept coming back to watch him and over the following month and grew to like art more and more. I learned of concept artists and Crimson Daggers, and just really wanted to start drawing. Around June I had enough of this art block business and forced myself to start drawing. I managed to do something for the first time that wasn't a scribble and since then I haven't stopped painting. My old dream of making games has come back and poured over into my already growing interest in art and well...here I am.
Through the pure luck of coming across it, Sickbrush's stream kind of gave me a direction in life, haha
