What is a good hobby/skill that most people should give a try, and why so? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?

i feel like this is a descent question i guess.

Drawing! We all start life drawing, scribbling, experimenting etc. But often we drop the activity or don't think were good enough to try. But everyone should take a pencil/pen and paper and just try to draw things, if you want to try and improve quickly look into https://drawabox.com

Pros - It's cheap, easily available to most and often very cathartic.

Cons - if you get into it it takes a lot of time investment to get really good.

Thank you for this suggestion. Taking drawing classes has been on my back burner for awhile, and this site is perfect for a beginner. I also love that it was created due to community demand from r/ArtFundamentals. I just signed up!

So glad it's helpful! I really enjoyed doing drawabox and it builds your skill level in manageable steps. I would also say, have fun, just try things and don't be afraid of messing things up as its all learning!
