6 Colorful Ideas to FILL Your SKETCHBOOK *happy art inspo*

[@hcondrack]

I never thought I'd say this, but those triangles make me happy.

[@MegaPotters1]

I just live the simplicity of your sketches. I'm new to art, well I'm only 72 years old so you have to start early 😂 I get so much inspiration from you, thank you so much xx

[@Chickabick]

A nintendo switch sticker would be so cute ❤ My favorite game on the Switch is Animal Crossing. When I was bedridden after having my daughter I spent hours and hours on my island. It really helped me get through a dark time in my life. I'm going to do all of these ideas in my sketchbook and I can't wait to draw something Animal Crossing! Thank you Mira ❤

[@MiraByler]

I’m so glad playing Animal Crossing helped you get through a hard time in your life! I relate because I played it when I was on bedrest while pregnant with my twins. 💜💜💜

[@lydiataylor2343]

Stardew valley is such a vast source of creativity for me. Fan fiction and painting are my favorite though. I like to draw everyday items in the style of each character. Working on what Stanley each one would carry.

[@Neo0x1]

I am too a stardew valley artist!!!

[@OneWeighorAnother]

Omg I love stardew, just curious who is your favorite marriage character?

[@shellysanders8983]

Your lack of perfection is one of the many things I love about you. I'm not perfect and watching videos of people who want to appear perfect is not inspiring. My favorite of these pages is the landscape. I'm going to do that one in my sketchbook.

[@MiraByler]

Totally relate with you! I love seeing the imperfect side of people! It’s inspiring and beautiful 💜

[@kimberlynewsom9876]

I LOVE Stardew Valley!! I was never a gamer at all (I'm 56), but my kids suggested Stardew to me, so Nov 2022 I started playing and I've already logged over 1000 hours!!! LOL I'm slightly obsessed. I do play on a laptop though. Also I love every one of these ideas - you've given me so many ideas for my art journal. Thank you!!

[@MiraByler]

That is awesome you play stardew valley! I’m glad you enjoy it! 💜

[@EllaEmerson-ey5bh]

Oh my goodness that strawberry idea was the cutest thing i have seen in a while! Definitely trying it!

[@MiraByler]

Hope you have fun making it!! 🍓

[@nancyloomis3046]

I mostly do fine art now, but sometimes I just can't get my art engine going. I will swatch colors or do easy abstracts just to get myself into a more challenging creative frame of mind and it usually helps. So no matter what kind of art you do or how experienced you are, "playing" with our paints & markers by doing simple artwork that is pleasing and stress free is good for us all! Thanks!

[@lisariordan2784]

This was great! It really got my creative juices flowing. I love that you focused on having fun and enjoying the process. Thanks!

[@MiraByler]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

That Boba tea looked so simple!! 🥰 Thank you! ❤

[@katietruppa3348]

You look so beautiful Mira! Red is a great color on you ❤😊

[@SlothDaan]

You've inspired me to actually go paint something. You made it feel less intimidating, so thank you for that ❤

[@quest42good]

Hi Mira, I'm so happy I found your channel. Not only I just love your sketchbook ideas, but also you are such an amazing positive person, so I get my regular dose of happiness and optimism just watching and listening to you. Thank you for your work and greetings from Armenia!

Thank you for showing a way to blend paint colors! Cool!

[@stephfiore2119]

[@debiblair1912]

I like to use eye shadow in painting. Especially shimmery jewel tones, they make great accent touches.

[@ChantelleArts]

oooh drawing a game console, that's a great idea!! kind of making me wanna draw my old DS for nostalgia now 😍

[@CreativaArtly]

All the pages turned out so cute. Will definitely be trying a few of these for sure.

[@fuzzydragons]

ive never had bubble tea, it looks so good, and def make for nice simple drawings/paintings 😀

[@Littlewings1211]

I am glad you made the point at the end about using the ideas as looser inspiration if the style isn't your thing. I love watching your videos and think the art is so cute, but my personal aesthetic is more gothic/darker, so I often adapt your ideas when I do them (or add them to my art ideas list). For example, your animals wearing clothes style of paintings I want to do with similar clothing to yours, cute suit and bow tie or snuggly sweater etc but then adapt the idea to draw a semi-realistic animal skull instead of a fluffy bear or squirrel etc. You could also do little cartoon/kawaii skulls in the checkerboard design instead of strawberries. These ideas are great because you can adapt them to your own style or mood at the time, so it's a good reminder that your art doesn't have to be the same as your inspiration and your sketchbooks in particular can be somewhere just for you to express the things you love, for yourself and no-one else even has to see it.

[@dianeo]

Such cute ideas! The bear and strawberries are my favorites. I like how you encourage people to use any art supply you already have, even if it's nail polish. Maybe you've done this kind of video but it would be fun to see sketchbook ideas with art supplies EVERYONE has in their home: Pencil, blue pen, black Sharpie, tea, coffee, book or magazine pages for collage, etc. or a combination of these materials. The only video game I play is June's Journey. Kind of addictive!

[@MiraByler]

Wow, that's a great idea! I will take this into consideration! Thank you for making the suggestion, Diane! Also agree with June's Journey!!! It is soooo fun, even replaying finding things in rooms I've already been in!

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

I love love love that abstract landscape idea!!! ❤ I'll definitely try that, thanks! 😊💕

[@Sparklove1]

These are fun relaxing ideas, cant wait to try them out, thank you!

[@emmabergelin2870]

[@mariemosley3694]

I’m learning watercolor and the boba doodle would be fun to do as swatches! Your sketchbook idea videos are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@hpdanfan14]

I’d totallybuy a tablecloth with that strawberry pattern on it. It’s so cute! 😍 It reminds me of those cozy cottagecore style paintings of like a bear baking a pie. 💖

[@raewynduffy4183]

Oh Mira I love you so much💕👍🏻❤️I would love to have you as my neighbour. Every post of yours brightens my soul. God bless you and yours

[@silverhoney6969]

Hard to pick a favorite - the triangles is such a cool look. (& The colors of the boba tea were perfect) Those Arrtx paint pens were so dreamy and nice in the landscape-y one.

I love this series. I did the abstract landscape in my sketchbook this morning! I cannot make my marker strokes smooth and my paint pen spilled out a bit, but I still like it. Thank you so much for the inspo!

[@MiraByler]

So glad you’re enjoying the sketchbook series! What colors did you choose for your abstract landscape?

[@maryzefo3801]

I think this is my favorite sketchbook ideas so far I loved the long lines to make a landscape and the triangle one that looks like so much fun and when you were done I would put a frame on it and hang it that was beautiful now I want to get a set of those cool markers you have some of them are almost look like there's a brush on the end😊

I LOVE your embroidered top! And Stardew Valley is my favorite video game ever!! It just makes me so happy. I remember you talking about loving board games...I've never played the game you've talked about before, Wingspan, but I've wanted to ever since you've mentioned it, because I also love board games.

[@MiraByler]

Thank you!! That’s funny you say that, because most of my friends who enjoy Stardew also love Wingspan! I hope you love it if you get the chance to play!

Mistakes are usually only mistakes to ourselves, others see creativity; anyway, I would rather have a sketch book full of colourful, happy accidents and mist-akes (mystics), than a sketch book filled with blank pages. 🦄🦄🦄

[@Joliepinkyswear1]

These were awesome. I especially loved the boboa teas

[@julieketchum9551]

Hi Mira! Thank you Soooo Much for such Cute & Simple ideas. I pretty much have No Free Time in my personal life. Most break i get is break time at Work! Some of these look easy to work on for a bit & come back next break& finish. I Love the Boba Tea 😂 Strawberries are also Super Cute! Have a great evening .

[@MiraByler]

Thanks for sharing! Have a great evening too! 💜

[@JayofallTrades]

I really love the sketchbook ideas because i tend to rip pages out of my book and I just don't know what to draw when I feel creative but don't have the motivation to. It inspires me to do something fun and still be creative I do art and puzzles for fun. I play jackbox games with friends too

[@nezukoismywaifu]

I had to draw the Bubble Tea. It's one of my favorite drinks. ❤

[@MiraByler]

Yay, so glad you drew the bubble tea one!

[@heavenlylulow7641]

These ideas were all amazing tysm

[@hghayhay7]

All of the ideas are good. I’ve never heard of stardew valley before but it looks like my kinda game. I mostly play the teenage mutant ninja turtle switch games, five nights at Freddy’s, Mario, kingdom hearts. Reading, drawing, and writing is what I like to do for fun as well as watch old sitcom shows.

For games, I enjoy Stardew (looking forward to the update on Switch when it eventually arrives), Minecraft, FPS like Bioshock and Resident Evil etc, but my current obsession is an MMORPG called Palia. It's like a combination of the best parts of games like Stardew, Minecraft, Animal Crossing, and The Sims that has a really cool building/decorating aspect to make your own house with tons of furniture and decor to craft or buy from NPC characters you interact with. The most unique aspect for me is that the entire focus is on collaboration with other players. If you chop down a tree with other players, then everyone gets the wood from the tree. If you mine an iron node together, you all get the same resources, so it's geared to make collaboration as rewarding as solo play. You can gift resources and stuff like a certain fish you catch to others if they need them, and request items you may need (eg if you run out of arrows for your bow mid-hunt someone can send you 20 instead of you having to go back to your plot to craft more or grab from your storage). There are bugs and fish to catch all of if you want, and 3 main species of creature (each with 3 variants; a regular one, a slightly more difficult one, and a 'magic' one which is the hardest) to hunt - all of which are passive, nothing in the game can harm or kill you. There are a huge variety of quests, challenges, skills, and characters to level up and complete, too. Best of all, it's 100% free! I thoroughly recommend it. My character's name is Ilyana Gilfaren. If you want to be friends and say you found me through this comment, add me!

STARDEW VALLEY! I already loved your channel. I love your combo of sharing life and art. I love your honesty and posivity and the way your Light shines through. But when you said that you play Stardew Valley, it confirmed it: We would be best friends if we went to the same church. ;P But for real, I love your channel and the stuff you make. It always makes me want to get a sketch book out and put color on a page. And typically, if I am in my studio working on something, you're on the day's playlist. Thank you for sharing with us!
