How to Increase Your Skills with Hobbies

Drawing

Buy a drawing notebook and a pencil. With those two items you can: Design clothes, draw portraits, draw manga characters, etc... Maybe at the end of the year you'll have a comic book of all your drawing creations.

Show it to your friends and they'll be amazed by your skills.

Painting

Take a brush and some colors and start describing your full-colored world by painting. Maybe this is your talent and you have never known.

Don't paint something someone else tells you to.

Paint your feelings. You'll feel freer.

Sculpture

Try sculpture. Have you ever made a soap sculpture? It's not hard at all.

Combine your inspiration with your talent and there it is. Maybe it's your face or your friend's face. Show it to them and make them laugh.

Make some paper mache, blow up a balloon and try sculpting that!

Keep experimenting.

Listening to Music

Turn on the radio. There is no person in the world that doesn't like listening to good music. But composing good music is a whole other topic. Have you ever tried playing an instrument?

Save some money, buy a guitar and have free lessons on YouTube or other online websites that can help you.

Start songwriting too. Maybe this is your best skill and you haven't known until today.

Writing

Read (and write) books. Some people like books. Some read them just because their teachers tell them to. Books are a great way to have fun and learn too.

Find your favorite genre and start reading! J.K.Rowling was an English teacher when she wrote Harry Potter. Maybe someday when you'll be traveling by train from a city to another. Maybe you'll get an inspiration and you'll write your own book.

Use your imagination and start writing your book.

Write a poem. Have you ever tried writing poems? This is also fun. Try writing a poem to your mother or to a boyfriend or girlfriend and make them cry; make them proud!

Play sports. Who doesn't like body activities? Football, basketball, baseball, swimming, cycling, etc. You just have to choose. Buy a ball, gather some friends, and start playing. What are you waiting for? It'll be fun and by the end of the summer, you'll have a body to be proud of. Yoga and gymnastics are also good body activities as well.

Learn to cook. Cooking a great meal you've read somewhere or trying to experiment is a great way to spend your time and have fun. Maybe invent a great dish too.

Do gardening work. Gardening is a great ability and a very productive skill. Flowers, fruits, trees, vegetables; you can plant them and eat them all with your family. Maybe use a search engine to get inspiration. Maybe ask your grandparents about gardening, just keep thinking and have fun.
