Do you think it's right for me?
I appreciate how good looking a piece of art can be. I appreciate all the different textures, shading techniques, and line art etc. I find the improvement process interesting.
Sometimes when I look at certain pieces I just get really excited, especially fantasy or fantastical art that has breathtaking landscapes or worlds you are viewing. Art can really serve as a great reality escape for me. I can just suck myself into the worlds I viewing.
I'm nervous about the networking and self promotion involved to be successful but art is one of the few career options I've considered where I don't really think about money or prestigious positions relating to it.
not gonna make it

Why?

Well, you still can make a living without being a marketing whore. You just have to be good enough so people actually cared about your stuff, and not your persona. Sure, you can get yourself to a better jobs with a shittier skill level, if you know the right people and don't feel any shame in self promotion. This doesn't mean that it's impossible to get those jobs by being good. It is slower though. You will build up a network of clients naturally over time, just by being an okay person and having good work ethics.
You definitely don't have the spark. That's for sure.

This is the new meme.
I enjoy watching movies and looking into the why of its design choices, but that doesn't mean I'd necessarily make for a good director, if at all.
Also, >>2425383 sounds cunty, but chances are that an admission teacher to even the most down-to-earth illustration study would tell you this. If you really were passionate you'd already be into the act of drawing for a while without even considering thinking of asking the Internet about approval. Art is extremely competitive and for relatively low pay too, yet before you there are thousands who wouldn't think twice about it.

I disagree. I think considering whether it's worth it isn't due to a lack of passion, but a sign that your brain isn't rotted.

same here bro, the only difference it's that I've learn what I want when I was 18.so I went ahead and finished my economics high school and tried to get into an art college, didn't make it tho because of lake of skills, and now, at 22, I am in job which I hate, but at least I get time to draw with access at internet (right now I am waiting for my boss to leave so that I can draw)

This is a simple answer. Do you like to draw? If yes, then you do.
>>2425736
This.
All those fucking words in the OP and not one of them said you actually like to produce art.
>>2425736
"Do you like to draw?" is a question you ask high schoolers fucking around in art class because they hate woodshop.

You want to do art as a career? Do you like painting and drawing enough to dedicate thousands of hours of your life working an 80, 90, 100+ hour a week job sometimes trying to work 10+ hours a day for decades? The first 2 - 3 years at minimum of that will be just trying to get good enough to even get your first shit level job. Can you sit there in front of the computer/easel and grind away with out even thinking about it and just know this is what you want to do for a job? Thats the question, if the answer to that is no, then no you don't have it.
In reality you shouldn't even have to ask. People who have passion for something just do it, they don't seek outside approval to know they love doing something. Sounds to me like you're in love with the idea of being an artists and not actually making the art.
If you have to ask random people on the internet whether you're passionate about something you're probably not that passionate about it.
Learn to make up your own damn mind.
