Galaxy brain right here, Jennifer is a queen.

25 isn't too late if you've been drawing SOMETHING since you were young and stuck with it, even if it wasn't remotely good
Doesn't matter if you've drawn nothing but shitty symbol art with no understanding of fundamentals, you've gained a feeling of how the pencil moves (since we're talking about drawing), you've gained the ability to put your mind to paper, and all kinds of other subtle stuff that takes years to refine; like I said, you don't have to have been good at all, just that you need to have done it for making a foundation for future learning
If you haven't drawn since you were 7 and suddenly wanna start now at 25, you're NGMI; if you've been doodling in every one of your notebooks throughout grade school and uni, you're GMI

Yeah so the OP is bullshit but serious question: if you need to use references, ask for critical feedback or do major corrections on paid work, but the client has approached YOU to make the artwork, are you really ready to be a working artist?

I’m in a position where I can get work but my work takes way too long, because I still haven’t nailed some of the basics but I’ve made some cool things anyway. If I was paid on a per hour basis I’d be making $4-6/hr. Doin a hard think about whether or not I want to take on more client work or if i want to spec harder into the basics.
