How do beginner artists deal with being unable to draw what they want for their first 2 years of learning? I just finished a list of books etc. I need to finish before I can even begin to make my own stuff that isn't complete garbage. It's Aguri's guide mixed with some other stuff, even then all of this is just basics. From my experience I know that I can't do shit as long as I don't learn everything from all of these books.

I feel very unsatisfied with the feeling that I have to suffer for 2 years (at best), how do you people cope with the fact that you can't make good stuff that you can show to people in 2 fucking years? And no, I don't want to draw anime.
