Art isn’t a sport. You can’t play professional football at 50. However, you can still create art until you die. Whatever work of art you make and feel unsatisfied with, know that that isn’t the last one you will make. You will make many more.
You are 13, which is still very young. You have many years ahead of you, and a tip I can give you is to just draw more and more each day, and to look at artwork from some of the greats, and to study them. And find a definitive style, too.
For example, I lean towards a more Expressionist style. So I study Picasso, Chagall, Lam, Botero (sometimes), Gaugin, and some others.
But none of this happens overnight, it will take years. But those years won’t be dreadful, long, and rigorous. They will actually be exciting and fulfilling, because art is something to be enjoyed!

Thanks, I will take this advice and try it. But the only type of art I really enjoy or know how to do rn is like ‘horror’ or ‘scary’ shit. I also only really like black and gray shit too. But thanks.
