    30 plus here. I just started drawing everyday. Little gestures to work on people. I will caution you not to take too long of a break once you have a roll going. I worked everyday to get to a certain speed and skill level then stopped for a while due to issues and lost some skill but I can still draw okay.

    As you improve there will be a difference between what you can see and what you can do, your perception will improve faster than your hands. This will be frustrating but every artist deals with it and it is a sign of clear growth. If you really like what you are doing that is great but if you bage what you have made and can only see mistakes, take note of the mistakes learn from them and move on. You have more to draw.

    Also please study from photo refs and real people for a good while it helps build your understanding of how things fit in space and especially the structures people and animals.

    I recommend adorkastock.com for references of real people but there are plenty out there.
