/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I'm 27 year old and I'm trying to make drawing my hobby even though I have never drawn anything for myself except some engineering drawings.

There's one art studio/atelier 60 km from my hometown, it mainly prepares students for the architecture studies (and is boasting with 100% exam pass), but there are also courses for drawing and painting for "hobbyist" there, it's 28 hours of obligatory meetings + 160h to attend whatever courses you are interested in, there's also possibility for 3-4 6h meetings/month with naked model drawing/painting.

My question is - is it worth it to attend such place if you are absolute, total beginner? Would it really help me, or should I try drawing for 1-3 months and THEN try to join such place? It's also a question of spending money, that place will cost me local equivalent of $400/month and I'll have to join for minimum of 3 months. (I'll probably will be looking at $2000-2400/month in my job)

I'm thinking about it now because I'll finally fucking finish my studies (oh my god, why at such age) in 2 months and I'll have a choice to seek a job and relocate respectively to that city, a big academic city where my gf is and where I study/-ied or to my industrial hometown (where I think there might be some minor basic drawing course starting in autumn).
