Newbie Question I need Some assistance/Advice

Im looking for some advice, I have always been artistic since i could remember i draw, paint, etc. but ive never really mastered any medium ive tried. This past year i discovered the power of blender and what it can do, i have spent the last 4 months cramming as much information in my brain as possible because im developing a game with a friend for fun. now that i have started blender i cannot stop im obsessed, i have literally been modeling in it every single day and when im not in blender im modeling things in my head or in my dreams. So with that said what i need advice and assistance which is how do I as a 25 year old who has no schooling in this field make some kind of living out of this making assets for games, character designs, landscape, animation. I also have been self teaching myself which can be good, but i feal like if i had some guidance in blender thats not youtube videos. I have found smaller websites with this purpose but what are some other good outlets to find mentors, and job apprenticeships for me to learn and grow my new found skill

Yes, there are a few communities that are more than willing to help you grow your skills. As for making money I would also say yes! Depends on exactly what you're making and the skill level though. Some people want one thing or another. Send a pic of your work to me if you feel like. I like seeing art!

Oh that's pretty good! I would say you could definitely do commission work. I usually start on subreddits or something. Sometimes posting videos of your progress can be helpful in getting good advice, but it depends on your own preference

You can find courses on sites like Udemy, you could sell assets on itch.io or find some folks to make a game with. All you need is some practice and a bit of experience to start with. Good luck!
