How do you spend your non-comic free time?

@Greg_Dickson that's why I've held off on getting a PS4; ever since I started doing comics again, I barely have any free time for anything else...but this Final Fantasy 15 may make me get a PS4.

Procrastinating....jk. I like to watch videos on Youtube, go to stores and just walk around (even if I don't buy anything) and look up stuff on toys, dolls, and other collectable things. I sometimes do little crafty paint projects (nothing too artistically challenging). I also hang out with my younger siblings. I don't have friends so I don't really do common social things most people do.

@Shanny8 - I'm the exact same way! No time for console gaming for me! It's handheld or nothing. Although I do kind of want a PS4 just for Sonic Mania. I'm so disappointed it won't be on Wii U or Vita.

@Greg_Dickson I cant do PC games or cellphone games(unless it's something easy like Solitaire or Tetris- LOL)...my attention has gotta be locked on a big TV screen.

I watch a lot of paranormal/ ghost shows and they give me inspiration. xD
Play Pokemon on my 3DS. ( My readers won't be hearing from me in a week once Sun and Moon come out. )
Sometimes do fun things with my friends.
Go for a long walk.

Art has become my only free time as of now. Although now not working on anything personal I will watch online videos or read silly posts.

I spent about 3h~4h doing a page of my comic, and even 6h+ if I write a chapter, I try to do 5 pages per week, so its around 20h. Usually when I'm not making my comic, I'm playing Pokemon OR or Shin Megami Tensei, those are the games I play the most, I wish I could get a ps4, only to play Persona 5 T-T, I'm not a TV person, so I watch movies on my pc.

Video Games. Sleep. Trying to draw.

My non-comics-making hours are spent playing video games (right now it's a bit of Overwatch, Tales of Zestiria, Broken Age and Gone Home), trying to catch up on One Piece - I'm some 30-40 episodes behind - digging through Netflix to see if there's anything to watch, catching up on all the movies I missed when they were in cinemas (finally got around to watching Zootopia the other week!) and also reading. A whole bunch of reading.

I'm currently tackling Joe Abercrombie's Half a King-trilogy, and I just got finished reading Dune.

As for how many hours I spend making comics... I'm a freelance artist currently between big assignments (I'm flatting a friend's pages, but that's about it right now), so I devote most of my days to my comics. So I'd say I spend 8-12 hours a day on my various comic-projects? Not all of it is drawing pages, though - I write, I thumbnail, I research, I plan, etc.

Also, somewhere in the middle of this mess I find the time to a.) draw stuff that isn't comics, and b.) play Dungeon World once a week.

Yeah, same. I work on my comic when I have time, which is why I update so slowly. Other than that, I translate academic work for a scientific online website, go to university and work.
Most of the time I just hang in the forum (as you've probably noticed). I like to think I learn a thing or two while listening to you people

Hmm, well, I try to fit in a lot of stuff. Most importantly i want to spend time with my wife and friends. Video games are a life long interest. I've been playing Marvel Heroes 2016 recently and just got No Man's Sky yesterday. I'm currently also working/studying to get my diver's certificate. I also get to fit in running and the gym. In-between all that I probably spent an inordinate amount of time cuddling with our cat.

On my comic I expect I spend about 15-20 hours per week.

Either gaming, going outside or making music

Lots of things, really, but I mainly go to poetry nights. It's a really welcoming environment to be in and I love hearing new poetry and showing people mine.

As for time spent on the comic.... well, I spend a lot of time procrastinating but when I get started on the page making, it usually takes up most of my waking time.

I have no social life so I spend my free time sleeping. :I

scullpanda 2016-08-14 03:29:24 UTC #35

Hahahaha What free time

TheKawaiiGarden 2016-08-14 03:49:20 UTC #36

Youtube.
Lots and lots of Youtube...

Triple_Horatio 2016-08-14 04:20:39 UTC #37

Comics are my free time. My social life has suffered a lot since starting work on my comics.

Jrej 2016-08-14 04:40:31 UTC #38

Comic free-what?
Just kidding... I hang out with my wife the rest of the time.
Hiking, watching movies, travelling...

Tanimation 2016-08-14 06:38:12 UTC #39

I spend most of my free time making my comic lol.
but on the off chance, I usually play video games, sit outside with my dog, or make random stuff in Blender.

6ooey 2016-08-14 06:45:05 UTC #40

I think every single day I think about my comic, even when I'm not working on it. LOL
But when I'm not working on my comic I would draw other things, play video games, spending time with my mom n online friends or catching up on sleep.
