i just pirated lil post.
but that's ^^ what you need to remember.
what you've been doing is important, at least to someone else if not you, but it's ALSO life changing
for you 'cause it's life experience. the last year must have even helped to better you in some ways too.
that said.
just do it, i say. you are scared to leave your job, yet have the tools and materials and reference books to test out your skills? who said you have to leave your job? just try it on the side. practice it as a hobby when you can. and make some time for it!
you also said you have no formal education, but last i checked, you don't need one to be an artist.
my advice, though, is that when you do finally start getting good enough to sell your stuff to the hoity toity...and i have no doubt you someday will...don't call them that to their faces.
