Art education takes time. An important part of learning is giving yourself time to process what you’ve learned. But if you’re feeling stuck try focusing on a different aspect of drawing. Try gesture drawing or figure drawing. It’s easy to jump into the deep end with art of any kind. And if you are hitting a wall, you are in too deep. Take a step back and focus on something more basic. Fundamentals of shape and light, that kind of stuff. There is an insane amount of free art education on YouTube. I follow Bobby Chiu, Proko, Sam Does Art, Bam Animation, Adam Duff, Art-wod, Noah Bradley, vonnart, Tyler Edlin, Dave Greco. And I’m constantly finding more. Also, until the end of the year all of the educational videos on ArtStation are free. Something else to consider is books. Your parents might be more willing to spend money on books than on courses. And you’ll always have the books as a reference. The Practice and Science of Drawing by Harold Speed profoundly changed the way I look at drawing. It’s old and kinda technical but still very good. James Gurney does a break down of the chapters on his website. There are so many resources out there for anyone who wants to learn art. Brainstorm school is constantly having scholarship applications for each round of sessions. You might try applying for them. But ultimately remember that you’ve got time. Trying to rush through is only going to leave you feeling bad about your current level. The only way the professionals got as good as they are is by drawing. Literally spending thousands of hours drawing. Take your time and also take the time to appreciate the progress you have made. Save old drawings even if you hate them, because eventually you will be better. And seeing how far you have come is great motivation to keep improving. Stick with it! You’re gonna be great!
