It's actually easier to sell 'traditional' art offline than on. (By traditional I mean portraits, paintings, sketches etc.)
Check out your local art community. I knew one guy who only started drawing and painting two years ago, and now regularly sells large paintings for £4000+
Online, it's easier to sell stuff like anime and 'posters' and the like, and possibly commissioned sketches from photographs people send you. At least in my experience. It is definitely possible to make a living at, but I really would start with the local scene as you're competiting against far less people.
