Practice, Practice, Practice
You're very young, which means you can't exactly take any college art courses or anything. More so, you can't really kick off your career, even selling things locally just yet. So, what you need to do is practice constantly. Anytime you're watching TV, just sketch too. Work on your graphic designs, if that's your thing. Or your animations, clay models, or paintings. Whatever it is, do it. A LOT. Every single day! And don't be afraid of trying out other kinds of art. You want to be versatile.

Build A High Quality Portfolio
You've been working on your art for years, and it may be tempting to want to collect everything you've done and showcase it as a portfolio. But you know what? It's time to try something new: it's time to consider everything before as practice. Make all the new things, applying what it is you've learned over the years. And then select only the best of the best to be in your portfolio. Once you're done, you can show local galleries, online shop owners, or even offer your work to local stores.

Seek A Mentor
Sometimes you just need a guiding light. Someone to kind of. . . tell you what you should be doing next, to get to where you want to go. And being an artist, well, it's hard work. It's tough, regardless of talent. Finding someone who's not only done it, but done it well enough to succeed is key. You want to replicate their success.

Start Creating For Your Own Online Shop
You've been making art for years now, and your portfolio is amazing. But for some reason, you've kind of been stuck there for a while, not knowing what to do next. Here's the answer: open up your own online shop! It's easy these days, and it gives you a platform to showcase your work, make some money, and get some space back in your home, so you can fill it with more inventory! Just make sure you spend as much time marketing yourself as you do creating your art.
