I prefer the more lenient hobbies because art is such a Goliath, just thinking of going in depth in another subject is earth shattering to me. Most of the hobbies I had I dipped my toes into, like I used to like voice acting and I don't even know what the fundamentals of that is.
Inspiration wise I like learning of historical weapons, i'm no history buff just a layman with above average knowledge of such a thing, this taught me that movies... aren't really that accurate and how silly the sward clashing is and how easy it would be to parry such a thing. It also taught me how ridiculous most fantasy weapons we create are.
Casual hobbies like watching movies and playing videogames really taught me a lot as well, you watch a late dreamworks movie you can see the mood lighting and figure out such compositions, I learned a lot about armor and design by playing darksouls as well. As for my latest hobby which is language learning, I do not see how it will help in art just yet, perhaps I will find a program in another language which will inspire me.
