Hey guys I'm turning 25 tomorrow and I'm having a mid-life crisis.

Are there any examples of artists who made something out of themselves later in life?

Not just pen and paper, anything from 3D to music even science / tech. I just want to know what's the limit of neuroplasticity.

/ic/ nerds are probably the most experienced with this kind of thing, the other boards are too busy discussing porn

What's making it? Can you get good? Sure. Most people are limited by freetime, family, and the physical neccessity of laziness. Most determined people don't reach the summit of what you're asking regardless of age.

Different Yuko Shimizu.

She went to SVA. At 35. After dropping a successful office career and moving to the other side of the world.

Van Gogh didn't start doing art until he was 27 and you have thousands more books and teachers at your fingertips than he did.

Neuroplasticity is a meme, you're constantly learning new stuff all the time without even thinking about it. It would be impossible to function otherwise. You'll probably never be one of "the greats" if you start after you're 30 but consistent practice will still make you better than 90% of /beg/
