Feel like dropping out of university to pursue dream career. Any advice?

Hi. So I'm a 19 y/o, and am currently in my second year studying Biology at uni.

I've always loved everything about the subject, but recently studying just feels like a chore in order to not get kicked out from the course, because of how much work I need to do, and I end up leaving studying or coursework until the last few days, just putting enough effort to get the pass mark.

I also have a goal of being a concept artist (digital), but my initial plan was to pursue it after I finish my degree. However, after being bored the hell out from uni, and spending £1,400 on a professional drawing tablet a few months ago, I have been addicted to drawing and have loved it so much that I've skipped 4 whole days of University just to stay at home and draw. This isn't an infatuation btw, since drawing has been my main hobby since an 8 year old.

Don't get me wrong - I love everything else about uni and have alot of friends. It's just the demand to study so much for something I have lost interest in - I hate it. Overall I have just basically lost motivation to study or and finish my degree because learning is not fun anymore. I haven't studied and have hardly done any coursework for my deadline in 1 month. I just come in for my attendance to not get kicked out.

I've also realistically thought about it, and am 100% confident and sure that I will be good enough at my skill to start earning money after 2 years of constant practice, so I can transition it from a hobby to a career (I'll just be working normal retail jobs til then).

Problem is I'll feel really bad about dropping out, and everyone will see me as a failure or as having made a mistake for not finishing my degree - and I've honestly lost all motivation to finish uni - but I'm confident that I can use the talent I love to also make a living soon.

Any advice?

How are you going to pay for living expenses and stuff during those 2 years?

Retail job + left over student loan (a few grand). I'll be living at home, so won't need to pay for rent. Just other expenses which I can easily pay for.
