They don't know. If they did they'd say that it's a waste of time, blah blah, and to be serious about my future 
Hmm, you have a very beautiful things in your gallery, I don't think they can call it a waste of time 
:- )

well, if it doesn't help me survive then it must be useless 
My parents were very proud, because my grandma used to send my art to TV shows for kids about the age of 3. She told me I used to win many prizes. Grandma keeps all what I have given her, and my mom shares FB albums of my art with her colleagues. They aren't worried about my career choice, since they think I'm eligible for a job in the film industry. They are proud of how I do in school and hope to gather for a scholarship for one of the best film academies, but they trust I could even get it on my own by enterring all those art contests we have here and winning them. They know that I haven't found a match in art in my country and they believe, if I gather enough time, nobody in the world could go against me. I think I am improving in everything thanks to their attitude towards me. They had feared for one period for my success, but I made a back-up plan for my education.
Wow, you're one of the few whose parents give such a support of their child's hobby! It's a really good luck!
I feel blessed too! But I am so stubborn that even if they didn't support me, I'd do what I like.
My parents hated it. I have been arting since I was like, 4 years old. My mother used to do creative projects with me as a kid like make a fishtank with paper fish but once I got to about 10 she started harping at me that I should grow out of "kindergarten" drawings and stop showing them to her for criticism. When I turned 14 it got worse, they'd confiscate all my art supplies and force me to spend most of my free drawing time with the family because art isn't a legitimate career. I ended up getting kicked out and here I am now in my own private rental still making art, shitting all over their views.
Yeah, unfortunately such an attitude is not uncommon, as I know from other answers.
But your drawings are so nice and I'm sure that many people like them! :- )

My parents don't understand nor appreciate video games, but at least they don't think they're used to worship Satan.
God, I'm glad I don't have that type of family.

Wow, you have such an interesting hobby! you're the first person here who work with jewelries :- )
I do? haha... I hadn't realized that. It's just fun to do. The jewelries is extra fun because I've actually made some money out of it, and even if it's just a hobby, one can never complain if people like it enough to pay for it.
I've many hobbies like photography, painting, making things, writing, learning languages - but my parents know that I only paint. And my dad thinks I've no extracurricular activity But I don't mind much... If someday my hobby takes me to some platform, they all will get to know and will be amazed probably. If.
