Adverb modifying an (adjective? ) phrase?

Hi. Would you say we could use the adverb "more" to modify what looks to be an adjective (adjectival?) phrase like "grown up" or "drawn out"?

eg,

I am more grown up.

It is more drawn out.

Certainly. It may not be very common but I see no grammatical reason not to use more before a past participle. CB
