Yes, I'm already taking action (ie attending school, working on commissions, learning new stuff on your own time etc) and have plans to work in the arts/entertainment industry
Yes, I'm trying at the moment but it's tough times getting to where I want to be in the arts/entertainment industry (school is too expensive, I have graduated but applied but got nowhere still - what am I doing wrong it's frustrating! etc)
Yes, I am creative and would love to work in the arts/entertainment industry but I gave up a while back and decided to pursue something else/a new career - it's too hard
I give up and I need help (lots of it - where do I even start?).

This is probably going to sound pathetic to those who are already working hard on their own drawing/animating skills. But still I'll throw it out here. Maybe it i'll work as a warning to keep working or else you'll become just like THAT guy XD

my choice was: I give up and I need help.
I never did draw before (aside form childish scribbles when I was young), but I always wanted to be able to and in january this year I decided that I wanted to become better at it. I bought a book, scoured the internet for some (hopefully) useful videos.

I got all that, but I find it hard to get myself actually finishing a drawing. I like it but whenever I draw something, something is always off. I'm a beginner its probably natural for stuff to be wrong in my drawings. I usually get frustrated like hell from that, try to fix it, usually ruin the rest of the drawing trying to do so and eventually I just give up on that drawing. Fully convinced I'm not able to draw that/anything anyway. Quite frustrating.
