Also, try not to spend too much time looking at those people's art when trying to learn. I was super guilty of this and it's really hard for me to not compare myself to others.
I would get on tumblr and see someone who says, "Oh man, I'm terrible at art." and they are posting this amazing stuff, and then you find out they are like... 14 years old. I'm 31. It would feel crushing to see that and be like, "I'm so far behind."
So just don't worry about where you are in relation to other people, just work on getting better, and every hour of time you put into your craft is an investment into your future as an artist. You'll never regret the time you spent on learning a craft, but you will probably regret playing video games or watching TV for hours on end.
