Practice your art. Do some stuff for friends, that sort of thing. Find that balance p oint where you're not going to develop a reputation that dixiedyboski does stuff for free. Display your art, be proud, and don't be afraid to take criticism and flames with the kudos and accolades.
In this way, when you hit that mark when you're 18, you're well practiced, have refined your technique,
Also, advice from K'sharra - work on a schedule. Start by doing art trades; this gets you in the habit of drawing what others want you to draw, and you get the barter thing going (i.e., you get art back! =D ). Also, if somebody REALLY wants to pay you for art, they can send a check or money order, or wire transfer the funds.
Note, too, that tax liability doesn't start to factor in unless you take more than $600 from one source; even then, you will probably find that washing out in the standard deduction of your 1040.
One more bit, as well, that she and I both agree on - make it clear that you do NOT do porn.
