Yes, life often gets in the way of art. I've been working at all the things you mention for 15 years. When I got back into art, I gave myself 5 years to accomplish most of the things you speak of.
You're doing the right thing by learning from Daniel and getting familiar with online tools. But relax and enjoy the process because it takes years to get very good at art. Daniel is an exception, but young people seem to learn faster. I'm in my 50's and my brain is getting rusty.
Approval in the art world is slow coming for most of us. If it were easy, everyone would do it and it wouldn't be worth much. So I advise you to be patient with yourself, and be sure to enjoy the creative journey with whatever "talent" the Lord has given. He only asks that we put it to use.
