I would think twice about quitting your job really, not my place to say of course, and I'm sure some would disagree with me, but building up a routine of doing art in your spare time after work first might be a good idea.
My experience is that once you start to study and aim for improvement, some of the things that made you like the idea of doing art are lost, replaced by a sense of achivement every time you see your own progress instead.
Besides, if you quit your job and move home, it's all going to be about how focused you can make yourself become and stay on the task, it's very easy to just wake up and come up with justifications why you don't need to do stuff today and play games or something isntead (I'm guilty of this time to time), because nobody will be there to tell you what you have to do.
What I'm trying to say is, get a taste of what self study would be like, prove to yourself that you possess the discipline you will need!
Again, the livestreams I mentioned are a wealth of information and motivation!
