Believe
in yourself. You will also be changing your social identity from how
you used to think of yourself into seeing yourself as an artist. Some
people will get angry about this and reject your pursuing your art.
They'll call it silly or self indulgent, they'll insult your work and
tell you art isn't real work, call you a fraud, call you lazy, try to
tell you to go back to being whoever they thought you were.
Never pay money up front to an agent. If they don't get you work, they do not deserve any money. If they ask, that's a big red flag that they're not to be trusted. Do a background check, and if the agent sounds too good to be true and talks you up like you're the next Picasso, it's likely he's too good to be true. Just walk away.
Relationships can become unstable if your romantic partner is jealous of the time, attention and emotion you devote to your art. This may or may not be a resolvable conflict. Try to be patient with your significant other, but if it doesn't work, find somebody more compatible who enjoys your being an artist.
Personal change can be frightening. When powerful feelings or uncertainty overtake you, you can use paint as your way of facing the fear and working through it.
One of the worst ways fame can destroy your life is if you decide to live out the stereotype of the drug/alcoholic spoiled-brat celebrity.
THINGS YOU WILL NEED TO START
Pieces of paper/canvasses
Art supplies (paintbrushes, paint, pencils, etc.)
