If you had two years to become a master artist or the world would explode, you would find a way to make it happen. You would seek out mentors, you would take art classes, you would constantly grill /ic/ for feedback, you would practice and study like a maniac. Given that fact, you should recognize how much you are underperforming and take it to the next level. You can approach your goals five times faster, maybe ten times faster, than you currently are.
