Hey Redmoxie,
You know what's funny? Working as a line cook made me realize I wanted to do art so badly. I hit that realization around your age too. I had breaks where I just whip out a piece of paper and doodle if I wasn't tired enough for a nap. When I left, I was immediately on my way to doing comics for our local comic book convention with a bunch of friends.
There's little to no difference to the approach in cooking and illustration. They are essentially both arts and crafts. It's a lot of self-awareness and self-dedication. Like cooking, illustration is about making mistakes, realizing that you did, just working on it until you get it right. You will go through a bunch of overcooked, dry chicken before you can achieve and deliver consistent juicy succulent ones.
I am babbling.
Welcome to the Crimson Daggers and hope you'd find your experience here meaningful!

If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!
