Back to the Basics

I've been torn for quite awhile now about getting back into art. I feel that I had so much potential back when I was fresh out of High School, and here, 14 years later, I feel I wasted alot of my time on unimportant things that did absolutely nothing for me. I worked jobs I hated, with people I loathed, and for what? I ended up right back where I started, jobless, and wondering what in the hell I'm going to do with my life. I've decided to do what I should have done from the day I graduated High School. Pursue a career in art, doing something I thoroughly enjoy. So, back to the basics I go, to relearn all of the stuff I've forgotten over the last 14 years.
First off, I've started working on Values, once I can grasp values, I will then move on to anatomy and proportions. Once I have a good base in both of these, I will tackle color. My plan is to do a massive array of sci-fi/fantasy work, that will be put into a portfolio, and hopefully garner me the attention I should have strived to attain back in the day. I'm 32 now, and I hope with all of my heart, that I have not missed my opportunity at true happiness. Art makes me happy.
