As a 16 y/o self-taught student, I can't go to concept art school, I can't even have an ArtStation portfolio, the online courses are too damn expensive, and I don't know what to do. I've done many Schoolism.com courses, but all but a few have really helped me. I know how composition and lighting works, I know how depth works, I just can't translate it very realistically onto a canvas. I have a great idea inside my head, but the lighting doesn't work. Or maybe I have good lighting, but then have no clue what should be in the drawing. I want to just graduate high school which is pretty dumb overall, and just get into concept art school. I'm stuck in a rut repeating the same damn routine every day in school to learn something that I won't apply in later life, especially as an artist.

I don't know of any concept art programs for young students, and if there is, certainly not where I live.

Ok bye.

EDIT: refinement in drawing.
