My best advice would be to create work that matters to you personally, be brave and to show it to the world, for example on Instagram or by participating with some of the competitions. Keep showing up and keep learning. For example by following a great program like the one I did. If you see any books you really like, look at which publishers they come from, and what the background is of the authors and/or illustrators that make them. Read some of the interviews they may have done. Possibly you can take away something from that. Having all that said, If you draw and make stories every day, you are likely going to get better at it so you can always start there. All you really need is some paper and a pencil, and enough motivation to make it your priority to create the time for it.
