What have you learned the most about yourself in 2020?

[therosesword]

always been very critique and negative forcing me to do only the things I knew people see from me as "good"

My dad gave me the best advice I've ever had "never compete with the other guy, only compete with yourself."

And don't forget, in science a "failed" experiment isn't considered a failure, it just teaches you that that particular method doesn't work so try something else.

Wise words, thank's for the comment!

The fact that I can actually work on something for over 5 hours at a time without feeling tired out. Seriously my work on the comic has been long and hard yet I can only find myself enjoying that time no matter how difficult it is in the moment. Before I had no patience for doing anything and everything, focusing on one task for less that 15 minutes at a time. Now I know that if I enjoy something I can sink deeper than I ever imagined.

Apart from that, I can actually be an entertaining person. When I stream I actually have the sentiment that I am fun and enjoying myself which is something that I never imagined could happen. I've learned that to get good at something practice is necessary, that if I push myself and say that I am getting better I actually will and that despite all of the better works out there. I can one day push myself to reach their point of storytelling genius.

[therosesword]

despite all of the better works out there.

My dad once told me that no matter how good I was at something, someone will always be better but the only thing that really mattered was that I strove to be the best that I could be and not worry about the other guy.

I took it to mean develop my own talent, my own unique way of using it and not compare myself to others.

Kudos.

I’ve learned that my super power is limitless patience combined with bottomless willpower. With enough dedication I can do anything. I mean besides developing laser vision. But maybe that too if you give me enough time.

[Pomms]

I've learned that I am much more resilient than I thought I was. Many things collapsed during COVID for me and not only I managed to get back up (though things never got to be like before), but also, I didn't give up until I did.

[DiegoPalacios]

That i reeeeeeeaaaaaaly love working from home.

On a deeper example: i often heard the old saying about crisis also meaning oportunities, but actually started putting it in practice.

[nostalgicroxas]

That the pandemic only really affected me in that I need to wear a mask to buy milk now? Happy introvert hermit powers, activate!

I think I learned that I really just enjoy being able to work on the things I want to and not being distracted by stupid things like being unable to sleep because I have to flip it for a work shift. No more "day shifts" in 2021.

[mlocik97]

That, I still suck at programming like year before, even when I'm programmer... and same goes for drawing...

[rajillustration]

I learned I'm not a true introvert.

[therosesword]

@rajillustration

I learned I've taken it to a new level never before seen in the annuls of history. LOLOLOL

[ble]

That despite sucking at making comics, there are other things that i suck at even more.

[OffBased]

I’ve learned that I love masks and I will be adding them to my regular wardrobe after all this blows over

[kmlangleyauthor]

I learned that I’ll never actually be ready so it’s worth it to jump in anyway (sometimes). And that it’s easier to cover up a panic attack while you’re grocery shopping when you’re wearing a mask

[foxnflames]

I learned that I’m way more talented than I give myself credit. I also learned that I have this weird knack for all my scrambled ideas to make some kind of sense and I can organize them on the fly. I catch onto things quicker than I think I do and if I put my mind to it, I can produce great things. And I also learned how much I miss drawing/painting and creating in general.

I also learned that I need to not stress so much and trust myself in my creative processes.

[AmandaJ-art]

I learned that I can complete an update if I give myself more time. I never realised how stressed I was from a weekly comic that takes a lot of effort. Still kind of figuring it out with my other comics.
I also learned that it's okay to relax and not to worry too much about my comics.

[Puck]

That´s good advice.
Making art, music, writing etc is also about finding your own voice to speak in.
Nobody is better at drawing Charlie Brown than Charles Schultz and also to bringing
Charlie Brown and his friends to life.
Charles Schultz found his voice as an artist and created something than can not
be compared to other work

[Puck]

I learned to accept my weakness and strength as a comic artist.
I had more time for drawing this year because I´m not able to work in
my regular job at the moment.
My weakness is anatomy & proportions, it´s really hard for me to learn
and I feel like studying biology and architecture when in reality I just
want to draw crazy, dynamic cartoony figures.
So I´m focusing on that right now. I learned perspective and I also
know enough about anatomy and proportions now, I just need
to accept my flaws as an artist and create

[Ordinaryaverageguy]

That I can be an attention-whore.
And that it is getting worse.

[njacqurs]

I can open a door and unlock it with my toes.
I have mold inside my house.
I can text my friends.
Tapas has a forum.
I can scream loudly enough so that my friends will ear me even if where 2 meters away

Sorry that's it's not very self-discovery, have a good day to any one who reads (or not) this!
