Get a piece of concept art you think looks cool, make a finished piece that matches that quality as best you can. Use heaps of reference. prove to yourself that you can do it once, do it again and again and again.

pick up fundamentals as you produce purposeful work.
someone that can draw excellent anatomy and poses from their head is still not equipped to be a concept artist. It's about ideas and expressing them visually so they can be understood.

this fundamentals chasing is so aimless. just work backwards from the result you want.

What is so hard about collecting some images you aspire to paint like so you have a reference point of what you are trying to achieve?

I really want to give up trying to help but at the same time i hope you can succeed because you obviously are trying.


I'm speaking from experience, whatever fundamentals I picked up, it was 90% through pushing images further.
if you don't want another 7 years to go by without having any finished work, start now..

because its always going to be hard!

use reference to supplement the gaps in your knowledge and make something, you will never feel ready so just make it happen NOW

alright good luck
