Thanks guys the feedback I reckon I will pursue illustration through SVS Learn and other online tools for now, I'm still looking into art school but it's tough to find something. I was advised by a friend whose field or work is illustration and they've also recommended art school, having an actual teacher and peers around me would help with the development. - I do have the equipment to take my work to another level and I reckon now it's time use those to my advantage than lounging around, make my work at a professional level rather than a hobby.
Edit: Just realised I did the exact thing I shouldn't have; I should have been a little more interactive in the forums before asking for advice, giving it more weight. Thanks Jake for that advice from the 'Critiques' episode.
