I am a nerdy student of mathematics and physics.
Art is probably the hobby I spend the most time at, but I also take interest in solving riddles, music, mystery stories, computer games, cryptanalysis etc.
My current favourite media are pencil drawing and digital painting, however I enjoy other types of art too, mostly realistic ones. The fact that people can transfer something they see directly to the paper, in a precise way, fascinates me.
