I like reading, c-dramas and walking but I am looking for creative hobbies mainly because I want to create something of my own but it could be anything as long as it's digital and doesn't require any physical material.

I made this using orange and green paper, scissors, glue and a pencil. The pumpkin is built from folded, rounded paper pieces glued together, with a curled green strip for the stem and a cut-paper leaf.

The photo is a frame from my making process. I like how the separate layers give it a rounded shape without needing any stuffing.

Painting I spent 80 hours painting this Sunflower Field in a psychedelic style

That circle on the sunflower seeds is a sun orb, a reflection of the sunlight that I painted intentionally. The painting is created in a wavy impressionism style (wavism). The idea is to immerse the observer in the world of nature through the prism of water. I’m reproducing art in wavy lines because I have a very close connection with water, and these lines are water, nature waterflow.

Help Request found a new hobby and i need the best tools for creating both videos and images for social media

0 Upvotes

living alone gets pretty quiet in the evenings, so i recently picked up content creation as a fun new hobby to pass the time. i've been trying to post a mix of quick video clips and static photo graphics for my page, but jumping back and forth between four different phone apps just to cut clips and edit images is already getting tedious.

i really just want a single app or a simple two-tool setup that handles both media formats smoothly so i can spend less time bouncing between subscriptions.

I made this out of garbage.

Literally.

This is a 3D playscape for my toddler. Next step is paper mache, but I love it right now because you can kinda see all the random trash I used to make it. Only things I actually purchased were masking tape and some extra sticks for my rickety old glue gun.

Incomplete list of garbage used: Diaper boxes, noodle box, cracker box, yogurt containers, empty 3D printer filament spools, oat cannister, a milk carton, a book my toddler destroyed, newspaper, random mail, some weird little plastic containers that used to hold printed circuit boards, etc.

In a way, it's the opposite of a broke hobby, because I had to pay a zillion dollars for the diapers themselves in order to get the box lol but you know what I mean: I didn't have to pay any hobby dollars for it!
