Drawing

Description

Drawing is using a pencil or a similar tool to make lines and marks on a paper or screen.

Connection

I've drawn ever since I was a child, my first official piece was painting my mom's couch with colorful markers at the age of 4. It never got put into a musuem though. I collected all the other art forms as I grew up, I still plan on expanding my range to music and videography.

Involvement

No pressure, no commitment, anytime, anywhere. You can pick up a pencil, turn on your phone, or find a nearby computer. All you need is a positive mindset and an idea at hand. Art is extremely achievable, it doesn't have to be some masterpiece, it just has to express what you want it to.

Some examples, though, not my own work. I'm too much of a perfectionist.

Fancy birds.

Video Games

Description

A game played on a screen using a controller, keyboard, or hand to control interactions.

Connection

I grew up watching my Dad play Batman games, Assassin's Creed, Hitman, and etc. This led to me picking up a controller and trying games out too. Only, of course, I played hardcore games like Minecraft and Little Big Planet.

Involvement

You'll need a computer, console (either handheld or standard), or a phone. Then you'll want to buy a game, or don't, go on Roblox and find the same game you want to play under an unsimilar name with worse quality for free. Like the rest of us.
