If someone starts digital drawing and painting today (from a complete noob that can make a circle look like a egg), performing at least 4 hours of training a day, will he be able to earn money with drawing in 3 or even 2 years? It doesn't have to be a formal job, it can be with commissions on twitter or similar things. What do you all think?

This is probably a better question for /r/artbusiness or perhaps /r/artistlounge. This subreddit is reserved for those working through the lessons on drawabox.com, as explained here.

That said, yeah. 3 years is a lot of time, although it's hard to give guarantees given that the individual brings a lot to the table in terms of what resources they use, how they spend their time, etc.
