My Hobbies & Interests

I have several hobbies that I try to make time for once every week.

Drawing

My favorite hobby, at the moment, is drawing. I got into it just before the Covid pandemic and it's something that I've found myself doing off and on. It can be a struggle since drawing and seeing that you're not as good as others can affect you mentally at times. However, seeing a drawing come out how you want is very rewarding. Because of that, I keep trying to grow as an artist. Below are some of the websites that I like to use to learn how to draw.

	Creature Art Teacher	A website featuring videos on how to draw, made by a Disney veteran.
	Coloso	A website where artists from different countries post classes featuring different information on how to draw.
	Draw A Box	This is a website that offers free instructions on how to get better on drawing as a beginner.

Gaming

Playing video games is my second favorite hobby. It is easier to get into than the others that I have listed and it's very fun when you have a good game that you don't mind spending hours playing. I consider it second to drawing, however, because I have noticed that there are times when I play video games and it feels boring just because I have an urge to draw.

Gaming is nice because there are so many different kinds of video games to play. Recently, I've been getting into playing games online with people. That's tricky because internet connections sometimes don't allow for smooth gameplay, but it's enjoyable.

Steam	This site has games that people can buy and play. There are discussion boards that people in the community can post to with guides on how to play individual games.
Twitch	A site where people tend to stream themselves playing video games.
Xbox	The xbox website has games to buy as well as a community forum for people to talk about the games and featuring tips on how to play them.

Knitting and Crocheting

Knitting and crocheting is my third favorite out of the bunch. It is not something that I do often because it takes a lot of time to finish a project. I'm hoping to get into it more in the next year so I can get better at it. I'm looking forward to do things like knitting scarves or making crochet figures.

	YouTube	A website where people posts videos. It's a very good resource for learning how to knit and crochet.
	Nimble Needles	This site features tutorials that are beginner friendly to learn how to knit.
	Sarah Maker	This site features tutorials on how to both knit and crochet.
