Being passionate about something doesn't mean you're good at it. Likewise being good at something doesn't mean you're passionate about it. In the field of art, whether drawing, painting or sculpting there are lies that seem to be popular among the artist crowd that, if nothing else, justifies their lack of initiative and laziness.
One lie is that you will one day be discovered. Truthfully you won't be discovered, ever. Your success, no matter what you do, is 100% your responsibility and passion has nothing to do with it. It's all about finding your niche audience and marketing to them.
The fact of the matter is there is no substitute for hard work and there are no shortcuts to success; It must be earned. Don't make the mistake of sitting around waiting to be discovered when you already have enough to do for ten life times.
