Uncomfortable

This question is likely better suited to communities like /r/learnart and /r/learntodraw, as this one is specifically reserved for those working through the lessons on drawabox.com as explained here.

That said, the answer to your question is a solid no. It is not too late. I have students who range from their teens to their late 50s and probably older still. And furthermore, back when I switched careers from programming to art in my mid twenties, one of my roommates who attended the same school (where I learned from Peter Han) was a 36 year old ex-architect. This is his work now, almost a decade later.

I should also mention that the way in which one draws at an early age is often fundamentally different from how one approaches drawing when they're older, and actually learning. I spent over a decade drawing before I started taking it "seriously", and once I did I was able to achieve a greater amount of growth in a matter of a year or two that I'd covered in the initial ten. I wouldn't worry too much about the whole "started when they were children". Kim Jung Gi's probably an exception, with his famous obsessiveness towards drawing from an early age, but there is a pretty vast sea between "learning to draw and sketch" and "being Kim Jung Gi". It's not all or nothing.
