I'm not an artist, but I'm sure it depends on what kind of art you're talking about. Becoming a graphic designer is likely wayyyy different from becoming a painter.
There are probably a million books you could read about this, like this one:

There are probably a million subreddits and forums specific to art. Consider posting / searching on there for more information.
It's never a bad idea to have a good core education. Many artists need to supplement their work with "real jobs," so you ideally want to have a solid basis and understanding of business, etc. Business in particular could help you manage your own art as a business too.
Consider whether to apply for / attend an art school.
If you have particular artists you look up to, consider trying to reach out to them for advice/mentorship.
More than anything, PRACTICE YOUR CRAFT. Study art. Visit art museums. Try different mediums. Learn different techniques. Art, like most things, takes a LOT of hard work. There are a LOT of talented artists out there, and only a small percentage of them make careers as artists. It will take dedication and determination. But it can be done!
Good luck!
