Do not worry as much for drawing, painting is somewhat of a different skill set. Though if you want to approach it via drawing, value drawing could prime you for it. Although you'd have to adhere to doing only values without any lines. So no shaded line art.
I mean, yeah, you can put down some lines, but the idea is for the drawing to be constructed entirely by values. Still, if you want to paint you shouldn't wait so much. I spent like 2 years at the atelier drawing before painting, and safe for value drawing, the rest didn't necessarily prepared me for painting. Though that doesn't mean there's no skills you could learn which would help. I mean, how to proportion things, how to represent space and so and such will of course help. Though you could still learn them with painting. So I'd advice you don't hold yourself back too much.

Oh yeah, I'm familiar with the annoying way to dry. Have you always encountered this? I'd swear that it didn't happen with my first set of acrylics, but the ones I've used more recently (pic related) did have that. It was not fun. I think it might be dependent on brand or manufacturing quality perhaps. Have you tried oils before? Also, if you used a medium to dilute the paint, do you remember what it was?
