Hey! I feel exactly the same as you. I am not a professional artist but thought maybe I could be. I am in my early 30s and going to give this a try!
Looking forward to see your results! Do you have set aside a schedule for this?
Moving to the next piece of Term 1, training my accuracy to draw what i see by using my pencil as measurement.
Overlaying the image at the end to see where the inaccuracies are.
Nice work with these consistent studies! Keep it up!
I don't have a set schedule. But I keep track of the hours I spend every week on it. I want to make sure I spend atleast 10 hours a week. I know it's not much but it's a start.
I'm not sure if i should upload all my warmups and gesture drawings and all that stuff... what do you guys think?
I have done my gesture drawing practice for the day and go ahead to do another male-female proportions one, to do as the assignment suggest and do them alot until it becomes second nature 
Personally, I just upload everything I do for the week including warmups. I guess I do it to show the entire journey? But in the end I think its whatever you want to do! It certainly doesn't hurt to post them.
8 days later
I have returned from vacation. 5 days with the family. Now I've gotten sick and am pretty knocked out for big parts of the day.
It's making drawing real challenging guys, but i'll just have to take it how it is. Just have to recover and see if i feel well enough to draw inbetween some.
Since last i posted, there were some assignment pieces and sketches tho.
Including cake, because why not draw the cake im eating. And did some perspective.
These are my humble vacation-offerings. being dependant on my notebook completly gives it a different feeling. But it was nice doing some art without being distracted by my PC (only by the phone, hehe).
Always make sure to take care of yourself! Keep it up and feel better!
Over all look awsome, hope you get better soon!
I am also recovering from the sickness. The exhaustion is gone, only the coughing is really annoying. But now my sleep schedule is wrecked again, which makes dedicating time for drawing and work really an extra chore. i hear my inner thoughts wanting to be lazy and play videogames. To take it easy.
I want to get back on schedule and do them daily, also to continue watching the Term 1 videos. I told myself i'm gonna set a fulltime workschedule for doing art, but Instead of spending 8 hours on art, i've been at best been doing 1-3 hours per day, with some days skipped inbetween.
I will remind myself, this is alot more than I committed to previously, and I have drawn alot and learned alot already, so i don't want to be down on myself.
But also I dont want to give myself a "free pass"... how do I consolidate this?
