I know that feel, but don't despair. Ill tell you this

I'm 29, and I only got back into drawing last year. Interestingly enough I used to draw tons from 14~19 but gave up because I stagnated hard because I didn't know how to improve (the big problem was inability to learn fundamentals and recognize what I needed to work on). As of now I have more focus and discipline than I ever did as a teen, heck the fact that you realize that vidya was taking up too much of your creative time is a good first step. Getting gud means time management and cutting away as many distractions as possible.

>By having the diligence and discipline to be consistent and to develop a critical eye I've improved loads.

Cannot stress this enough. With /ic/s sticky, lurking tons, LOOOMIS, and taking note from the harsh but fair feedback as seen in threads, I have improved more in one year than I did in all of highschool. I'm still nothing special, but damn its an accomplishment. I just need to get a scanner to show some work as I work all in pencils.

Another thing is that I have a family friend who started drawing in his mid-30s while raising 2 kids and working as a doctor. He now does phenomenal medical/anatomical drawings. With the right self-discipline, willingness to learn and continually improve you can do it.
