Music, Book or Television?

[SakuraFujio]

What do you prefer doing in your free time when nobody else is bothering you? Is it reading books,comics, novels, or listening to music, watching music videos on YouTube, or just pizza and television? If you like doing something different then don't be shy and tell us about it!
Well as for me I'm an indoor person and I stay at home all the time so I like doing all the things an indoor person would do~

Since I work and have a kid at home, I don't have a lot of free time. However the free time I do have is spent almost entirely making comics. Comics is my hobby not my job, so it makes sense for me. Some times on the weekends, my husband and I will load up the kiddo in the stroller and go out pokemon hunting. So that's sort of a use of our free time I guess?

its a mix. but i think when i really want to relax, i like to read and go cycling. the other stuff - youtube, music, podcasts, tv - is really big for me, but i tend to multitask with it, put it on while doing something else. not proper relaxation, that.

It's mostly a mixture.
I adore reading stories online (some fanfic, but mostly original stories), as well as watching some videos on Youtube.
When it comes to working on my comic, I either have the TV going (with the cooking channel on or watch the same movie for the umpteenth time) or have some music playing from my Windows Media Player

Music is big for me, I have music going almost all the time unless I'm doing another activity with audio (i.e. games, tv) but sometimes even then! xD

Otherwise my biggest non-drawing hobby is playing video games, hands down. It often gets in the way of drawing, but I've been finding a pretty good balance the last few months I think~ Sometimes I'll get really hooked and neglect drawing for a while though ;n; particularly since I work full time doing CAD drawings for architecture, so sometimes when I get home I just don't feel like drawing more xD

I've currently been binge watching Netflix for the last month or so, but I usually don't care for watching shows.

Normally, I listen to music 24/7. No joke lol. I listen to it during all of my free time, when I'm working or studying, and even when I indulge in reading comics on here!

Mix of all three. I listen to a lot of music or just have TV turned on. I need some background noise or else it feels weird to do stuff like reading books/comics. Not watching a lot of movies because I can't really focus on something longer than 20-25 minutes unless I find myself really drawn into it, so mostly it's just youtube videos or one episode of something.

In my free time I also go for walks, draw for myself or play video or mobile games. Sometimes I even try to excercise but then I regret it. XD

Youtube mostly. It's very convenient to sit at my desk and watch while eating when I take breaks from work (since I work at home).

[Bosque]

I love to read, novels, comics, any book is ok, if the story gets my attention... and if not,
a mix of everything depending the mood, (hang out with people, think for hours, doodles, music, video games, anime) see tv it's the less thing in the list I do

[Penni]

It depends for me too, I tend to listen to music if I'm cooking or cleaning and the TV usually runs while I'm writing. Reading about 30 mins before bed really helps me sleep though

[BobbyjoeX]

with me it is all, i need music to draw my comic, i need to read comics to draw my comic (when i get lazy, it usually gets me interested again) and i need to have a video playing to draw my comic (and honestly, to go to sleep too)

i just need something running to do anything since silence makes me feel uncomfortable

as for reading, if you were looking at more novels than comic books, my attention span is terrible, i cant pay attention to a novel, only novels i seem to be able to read are biographies on people i generally am interested in but eh...

[ChanYE]

i draw. i draw in my free time and i draw when im working. other than that im playing with my animals or sleep

[rmdooley]

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!
When I'm working on the comic I listen to audiobooks. When not working on the comic or anything else, back to the books!

[danrafter]

Lots of music. I've found that the Amazon Echo -- and Alexa -- are great tools for listening to music. It's not much good for anything else, except for the weather, but I love it for music. I live a block from our local library and a nice, big park. So my son and I spend a lot of time checking out books and playing touch football in the park.

I used to read a ton, but it feels meandering nowadays.

For simply relaxing, I don't watch much of anything; instead, I almost exclusively play video games. Usually I'll have some youtube video/music playing in the background.

Although, even video games are starting to feel like a waste of time. I wish I can start to draw like I can start playing games. Personally, I need to wait a long time to "get into the mood"; I can't just pick up a pencil and start immediately. It's been getting much better (making comics under a schedule have been pushing me) but there still is some kind of mental build-up required.
