Our Favorite Flipnotes from last weeks Topic "Quarantine Hobbies"

A DSi gets very jealous when it is replaced by a singing voice synthesizer as the favorite quarantine hobby, in this very droll Flipnote by Hanahaki.

The lip synch for the talking DSi is really exceptional! And what a great idea. I'm sure my DSi gets angry too, when it isn't used enough!

Here's a really great hobby for the quarantine lock down; Getting good at darts!

Why not take a leaf out of our next toe-tapping entry, by jack, and give darts a go! Practice does indeed make perfect. And there's so many different ways of throwing darts, we were truly astonished.

But beware of the advance Ninja technique! It should not be attempted by an armature darts man.

A rather over weight kitty cat has the bright idea of getting really fit with exercise, in this Flipnote by Puchi.

Now that's an excellent activity for the quarantine lock down, and look at him go. What a feline physique!

We especially loved his sweat band, and little cat-dumbbells.

Awesome kitty, want a saucer of milk? It's got protein powder in it!

Sonic the Hedgehog has a seriously re-evaluate his running activities, now that the lock down has taken effect, in this comical entry by Sega01.

But what will he do, if he's not allowed to run?

How about writing fan fiction perhaps! Now there's an idea!

Another great quarantine hobby is drawing. But it can be quite difficult to get a good likeness, as we see in this very nicely made entry by mayoyo.

We loved the animation of the eyes, to show the artist looking from the subject to the drawing. And the tearful effect, with pencil #5 works very well indeed. Nice technique!

This chucklesome animated drawing by Buckley, just about says it all!

Getting some daytime zzzzs is definitely one way to pass the time during lock down. But who knows, maybe he's a night owl.
