I'm in my 30s, and I'm planning on taking up drawing for the first time ever. I don't even doodle, but I think it would be cool to be able to do simple concept/placeholder art for my projects. I'm very much expecting to suck at it, but I'm entirely okay with that.

I started making whacky artistic progress after I started sketching shitty little project plans. Weird improvements too, like now I can imagne taking something apart and picture all the individual bits fitting together. Learning by doing rather than practicing just to practice is like night and day for me.
