What were your hobbies (art related or otherwise) before doing comics? Do you still partake in them?

I honestly couldn't gauge if you were being sarcastic but I was like nahhhh that's not it so thank you! lol

Well I do 3D/2D animation, drawing and music outside of comics. Comics is a hobby itself anyway so that's why I continue making them, its not really a job. My job is animation lol Might as well share some of my music :

Playing guitar and/or ukulele are more than just a hobby for me, they keep me sane and have been since my early teens. If it wasn't for those little boxes with strings on - well I don't even want to think about where I would be now.

I became obsessed with comics of all sorts from as early as I can remember, certainly before I could read. I don't know what drives me to continue. I've tried to stop once or twice, but couldn't hold out for long. It became a lot more fun after webcomics came along and I discovered I wasn't the only one!

Eh, mostly just drawing and sining. I still do both tho lol

It used to be baking outside of art but nowadays i've really got to be in the mood to do it. Apart from that it's mostly just video games, especially minecraft and building in creative mode.

I've considered taking up music or something but I haven't got any instruments or good software. There's also sewing but materials aren't exactly cheap much less finding old stuff that's still intact enough to reuse for something else.

Wow these are cool! How long does it usually take to make one?

My hobbies outside of art are beading, cooking and volunteer work.

I feel a bit nervous about posting on this site but some of my friends said it would be a good idea.

I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way (I know I did) but the community is very supportive You'll do just fine

[rubyjuniper]

I'm sure of it & thank you for your kind words.

I think my main hobby is drawing. I drawed a lot before drawing comic. I like doing fanarts and some original art.

Aaand I read a lot!! Is always important for me read a lot, every kind of books. Now I'm really into informative books and historical novels. Right now I'm reading The Terror, about the Frankin's Expedition, wich has a tv serie that is awesome, I reccomend it.

I like making plushies, gardening, cooking, and baking.

[teacup_creations]

I was and (and still am) really into ball jointed dolls I used to work on doing custom faceups and stuff before I had to keep moving countries and my money ran out...
For those wondering, this is the stuff I'd do:

I'd love to get back into it but for now drawing and comics are a nice, cheaper alternative....

[rubyjuniper]

You must have a lot of patience when doing those then!

[dawgofdawgness]

Thanks :3 it’s not so bad if you’re doing it while watching a video or movie !

[rubyjuniper]

I didn't think about that at first.

I have a lot of hobbies I guess, I like to sew my own clothes (helpful cuz I'm a 6 foot 4 inch girl so uh..hard to find good fashion) I've always drawn and drawn comics. I work for a game dev studio so i enjoy character design and writing and things like that. I also like to make crafts with resin to relax. mostly, i draw though.
