My goal is to make art and make some money on the side, to show to my father that I'm working hard trying to improve my art to prove I'm serious about going into an animation course.

School is still next June, So I need to make the most of my time practicing and learning about art and animation so I'll excel...

Right now I'm confused on what to do... my short term goals are all over the place with practice.
Often I interrupt myself telling myself I need to get a drawing out so i gotta stop practicing and just make something while the opposite happens when I do start making something....

I'm so pumped to learn but at the same time I'm conflicted with putting out art for views,critique, and contribution..
