Well I play several instruments, I also enjoy researching and making spreadsheets, tabletop game design, and laying Dungeons & Dragons in the unlikely event that I have enough friends too.

I've always wondered how people grow up playing several instruments. What was the learning process like?

Well, I took lessons for bass and guitar for several years, then taught myself mandolin and ukulele with my existing string-instrument knowledge, and then taught myself tin whistle and theremin with the help of my general music theory knowledge. Currently trying to teach myself piano but it's much more difficult because unlike the others you often need to play two different parts with each hand.

So what you're telling me is that the piano is your final form

I don't like the word "hobbies" to be honest. It implies things you do that you are not making money from are less important and amateurish. I write short stories, poetry, I'm studying anthropology. My hobby is making money on Web Development :wink:

Naw, final form is when I've mastered every instrument to the point where I must create a new one so complex that anyone who tries to master it goes completely mad.

Video games (currently playing the FF XII Zodiac Age and LoZ Breath of the Wild)
Writing
Reading (although I usually go for audio books cause I can listen while drawing)
Playing the Flute (and wanting to learn Violin)
Play tennis

Unfortunately, I have little time to enjoy any of these, and when I hear about retired people being bored at home, I really don't get it!

Um..I want to learn how to play games seen in different consoles (like Overwatch), and play them as well as any esports master.
In other words, achieve proficiency in moving, jumping, shooting, etc. in ALL consoles.

There's a lot of stuff I'm into, which made choosing a career really hard:

  • I'm not sure if I'd call it a hobby, since I treat it much more seriously, but I'm super into music. I've been playing the guitar for about five years now, and also have a basic knowledge when it comes to drums, piano, and bass.

  • I haven't done so in a while, but I really like designing and creating my own games. My programming knowledge is a bit rusty now, but every once in a while I'll refresh and start on a new project.

  • For every comic I've made, I've probably read a hundred. Not only do I have a lifelong obsession with graphic novels and comics, but also a general attraction to words on pages.

  • I really enjoy writing! Unfortunately, every time I get into the process of making a longform story the way a write has a habit of changing from chapter to chapter. So, in the end I usually go back to writing solely for comics.

  • I collect retro games.

  • I collect animated movies and series on DVD.

Aside from drawing, I like to..

  • observe human behavior
  • longboarding
  • snowboarding (not lately, don't have money for it)
  • lock picking (LEGALLY)
  • gaming, PC
  • reading manga
  • daydreaming
  • watch Yogscast (I will love you if you know who I'm talking about), I'm a Simon person mainly
  • playing with programs like CS or Blender or Sketchup
  • practicing martial arts (not lately though)
  • playing handpan (will also love you if you know what that is

  • learning new things I come across. I love learning stuffs

Besides the whole read and write thing:

  • Kandi Bracelets (Im an EDM fan)
  • Minecraft (I normally just build XD)
  • Read manga
  • Watch anime
  • Create interactive novels
  • Video games
  • Cryaotic
  • Dying inside
  • Earning unnecessary certificates online????

Cooking
Crafting things for B-Days and holidays.
Popping bubble wrap wither at home or in store while people just stare at me like I got a screw loose
Coloring
Or simply enjoying a day out in the sun

I guess you can also write short stories and collect them. I love short stories.

Aside from Drawing and Making Comics, I also love:

  1. Listening to Music and building the ultimate Window's Media Player Library. So far, I've got music from most genres. But my favorite genres so far are 80s J-Pop, Classic R&B/Soul, Classic Rock, Indie Rock, and Psychedelic Rock.

  2. Cooking -- I've taken up cooking these past few years, and I've slowly gotten better at them! Though, I love watching cooking shows even more, hehe XD

  3. Watching and Reading Horror -- My first Horror author was R.L.Stine and my first horror movie was that 1985 movie Aliens (it's Sci-fi horror, but still horror XD). Ever since then, I've had a taste for exploring the genre and getting some ideas from it as well for my comics. So far, my favorite authors are R.L.Stine, Stephen King, Itou Jinji, and Emily Carroll. I've also dabbled into some of the Gothic horror classics like Dracula and Frankenstein.

  4. Legos -- It's been a while since I've built with them, but when I was a kid, I LOVED building with legos. I rarely built the actual items intended to be built and just went about making my own things with my own imagination. At the same time, I also watched a lot of Lego animation and tried (and failed XD) at making my own. Don't work with them now, but I do watch those animations every now and then.
