I’ve only watched the first one so far, but I used to trace my hand as a kid and do stuff like this! It brings back memories, so thank you so much for that!

[@MiraByler]

Glad to hear you enjoy the hand one!

[@sadist8902]

@@MiraByler Yess! It gave me nostalgia but I’m sure I’ll love them all! Thank you for being an inspiration 💗

[@sadist8902]

@Rainshadow & Co. It’s so cute! I hope little things like that never change so we can hold up some hope for the future! (sorry if I offended anyone with that statement, but I’d rather have my child trace their hand or finger paint than do tiktok dances so that those things still exist make me happy)

[@ellied5668]

Same! And my mom showed me to color in all the little spaces in the scribbles so then I started doing it as a little kid…memories :)

[@jessicafairey]

I used to draw my hand and put nails on them and design them. Try it it’s so much funnnn

[@21ruevictorhugo]

Art supply hoarder - yes!!! 😂 and I love every little bit of this or that, every pencil, pen, paintbrush, odd little bit of charcoal, almost-empty tube of paint. I love them all!!!

[@ZoeShears]

In my life I have always been told I'm not good enough and that stuck with me. I love doing art but because of my self belief that I'm not good enough I gave it up and got lazy. So now I'm trying to get back to it and do little things but I over think and get frustrated that it doesn't look right. These ideas are so helpful and as a type I am doing the hand :)

[@MiraByler]

I’m sorry people have told you that. You definitely are good enough, and you are capable of pursuing the things that light up that joy inside you!

[@tabbi888]

Never give things up that you enjoy. I guarantee Michaelangelo's first attempts at art would not have been good, if he gave in we wouldn't now have the many wonderful works he had left for us to admire. Remember everyone has to start somewhere and enjoying the journey is more important than the destination. Best of luck stay strong and before you know it you will reap the rewards.

[@nayonikapatolia10]

ok we all know that mira is a really good artist/art teacher but can we just take a moment to look at mira's beautiful hair it looks just amazing mira rocks that hair color and stlye

[@arnavkhtri]

Stlye (👆Sepling wrong)

[@advaitsingh8074]

Monet captures a whole world with his soft colors; a world so vibrant although the muted colors bring out the strokes he used to paint them.

[@mareebee7046]

I’m actually the most inspired during the spring and summer months! I feel the most inspired by flowers and colors and nature and especially during spring I all just come flowing into my mind!!

[@cubcakecreations]

Your hair looks beautiful! Love having these sketchbook ideas! Especially when I have art block! You are so inspiring! Love your videos! I also love how genuine you are in your videos ❤

[@kaytiej8311]

Fellow art supply hoarder. And loved your simple but philosophical approach with the waves. BEAUTIFUL.

[@liesbethartlife]

Oh WOW your hair is so pretty 😍 You look amazing !!!

[@MiraByler]

Thanks Liesbeth! 💜

[@spaghettibete4286]

Ooh I'm a big art supply hoarder haha-- I'm always like "But what if I need it in the future??"

[@paranoiarpincess]

LOVE the dice idea. OOOOH an entire page of dice, where you can't even see a background would be a fun challenge!!

[@Sharkgirl-kr2wl]

I LOVE your hair Mira! It looks so good on you!🤍 Question if the Day: I am definitely a art supply hoarder as well😂 It is an addiction😂

Mira I am a big fan from india

[@butterflies372]

[@musicmom7889]

I appreciate your words of encouragement. Anxiety and worry can be such a burden sometimes, but I feel that creating art helps to lighten the load🌸

[@marymulligan3653]

I am not only an art supply hoarder but also a yarnaholic. I love art as you do but I also enjoy knitting and crocheting. My last hobby are books and thank goodness my collection is fewer than what I have for my other hobbies. Good ideas in your podcast. Thank you.

[@rien9265]

Yes! More ways to fill a sketchbook!

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Hoader here!! 👍 Loved the rainbow!! 🌈 Thank you for sharing anti anxiety ideas!! ❤️ I love the idea of waves washing them away! 🌊

[@debraspeed]

Love your hair! For my family, we have been doing a sketch book challenge. There are 6 of us (3 young girls, my daughter and her husband and myself). We rotate the person that picks a theme and we all have to sketch something. We have done "animals", "happy family", "flowers", "garden", "Fairies" etc. It is so fun to see what each person thinks of and it doesnt matter how perfect they are. We do it for fun. We are all about half through our sketch books now and plan to keep going.

[@evadiva9689]

love your hair!

[@MiraByler]

Thanks Eva!

[@Hereismyhandlehereismystout]

I'm so excited you always come up with such good ideas!

YES HARRY POTTER

[@Happinosis]

I have Parkinson’s and like the waves, I can’t keep still either. I’m going to try the waves page because although I’m learning to draw and doing pretty well, my lines are so shaky today which is why I’m fed up. By the way, I always stay to the end. You inspire me. Thank you for everything, I’ve learned so much and I make art because of you.

[@LeanneRaine]

I think it's so awesome you're doing so well and overcoming that challenge! The fact your lines are shaky adds personality and tells your story within your work, from my perspective. Sending good vibes through the universe to you :)

[@Happinosis]

@@LeanneRaine thank you so much ❤️

[@alostwanderer2578]

Excited for this!Love you! And you are looking amazing, love your hair!

Thank you!

[@srivaaridesigner7420]

10:15 the leaves are so realistic

[@angel4ever1]

I’m definitely an art supply hoarder. 😅😂 I just want to say that I love that you use colored pencils for shading after using markers. Thank you for that tip! Also, I’m a gamer still playing TLOZ series and the Final Fantasy series since my early teens. Thank you for all your videos! 😊

[@BeckyTregear]

As someone who has bouts of moderate-to-severe anxiety, I really appreciate the leave your worries on the waves idea! Also, if I were a dragon, I would sit on a hoard of art supplies instead of gold. 😂

[@MiraByler]

Can I be a dragon with you and help guard the art supplies?! 😂💜

[@BeckyTregear]

@@MiraByler Sure! But only if the hoard is double the size to accommodate both of our art supply obsessions! 😆

[@lisahopp1112]

I mostly like to watercolor and have never been one for doodling. I really like your sketchbook videos and often watch them for entertainment while my husband hogs TV with baseball. Recently tho, he had (successful!) bypass surgery. There was a lot of time in waiting rooms and sitting in hospital. I did a bunch of your doodles! It was good for me to be able to create SOMETHING with just a small sketchbook and pen, maybe 3-4 colored pencils. It was so good to give my brain a break and have your ideas to copy. Thank you. People always offer “what can I do to help” when others go thru something like this. I wanted you to know that you provided hours and hours of “help” to me when I needed it!

[@koustubasandeep]

the first thing I see is your hair really good choice you know you can do another art sketchbook of all your art supplies into comic characters and then make a little page of your comic characters in a comic strip of a whole sketchbook page.I hope you liked this idea

[@gracefulannie-grcflannie-]

I totally had to save this video to my art playlist. I love the hand tracing idea!

[@HarleyWithWings]

Ooooooh the blonde!!!! 🤩 Thank you for being a constant inspiration. 🥰

[@cassandranoveen5152]

Your words in the wave section meant a lot to me. Thank you for all this wonderful content.

[@novajellly]

Wow Your so pretty and talented! I wish I had art supplies.❤️✨ Also in your next video can you make something with mushrooms or jellyfish in it?🍄love ya❤️

[@ronb4008]

if you want art supplies just GET some

[@delaney3655]

@~ eva draws ~ That's the same thing as telling someone that can't draw to just figure it out themselves, stop being rude. They probably can't afford it. Jeez

[@winkwink9412]

OR.. a mushroom jellyfish😏

Who doesn’t hoard their art supplies?

Mira you better come through with the hair, yass. This video made my day cause I was definitely one of the people who asked for the sketchbook ideas videos. Your sketchbook ideas videos are super calming to watch. I love when you paint in your sketchbook. I watch them even when I can draw/paint along.

[@creativenerves5013]

I've been stuck in art block for a while so I'm definitely going to do my version of the hand tracing idea. Thank you Mira for sharing your ideas! 💚💙 You can never have too many art supplies.

[@jaychu12]

Hey Mira I was just wondering about when you will be posting a video and you just did..Cant wait to watch it..Have a great day!

[@supersonicracer19]

Thanks so much for these ideas! I really love the wave one,because having all my worries just rattling around in my head is something I really struggle with,and sometimes I have a hard time expressing them and getting them out,and of course releasing stress about them. The wave one is such a simple way to relieve some stress,it's amazing. I also really love the hand one because it has some nostalgia of being a kid and tracing your hand but with a twist! Thanks again for these cool ideas. :)

[@aceelmohamednagybassamsabe5273]

I love your hair Mira ,I love your ideas 💡

[@LisabettaMedaglia]

I'm actually just scratching the surface of rediscovering that art can be fun again, and that not all art *needs* to be made to sell as originals, prints, made into merchandise. That, combined with my depression, anxiety and all other things, it's been hard getting back to my roots of WHY I like doing art. These Sketchbook ideas have been helping me out, and I wrote a small list of things I want to do in my sketchbook. I've done a few so far, but still working on some, and trying to take my time and not rush through it. Seeing more sketchbook ideas would really be wonderful, and thank so much for all you've done so far! I'm looking forward for more in the future :)

[@LeanneRaine]

Oh, you changed your hair!! LOVE IT!! I put all my art into a collage book and I'm up to page 300/600. I used different papers, stickers, and washi tape to highlight my work. It also gives me a reason to buy from artists so I can add the artwork of people I admire on KZbin to compliment my pieces. I'm trying to teach myself to use a sketchbook and not put everything into my collages though just to be able to things both ways. These videos really inspire me to open my sketchbook and keep my things in there. Thank you so much for the fantastic ideas, Mira!! I hope your house hunting goes well! Also, it would be fun to see a drawing of your D&D character. Take care till next time :)

[@reyam4070]

I love how there is always a meaning and message behind each art piece.❤️😌

[@tushitaagarwal627]

Thank you so much! I had so much fun with this!💖💖

[@dianeo]

Art supply hoarder? Oof, you hit a nerve. Every time I buy art supplies I say to myself, that's it! No more for awhile. By the next week I'm loading up my Amazon cart with more supplies... sigh. Your last two artsy ideas were my favs. The waves to alleviate anxiety may be simple but visually appealing and therapeutic. The 'Monet' piece is beautiful. To Mira and everyone reading this, I hope your troubles melt away in the pages of your sketchbook...

She helped me keep from freaking out and getting anxious. So yeah I'm pretty sure mines stress but It always hurts, making me freak out more, and now my cats not here to calm me down.

[@juliabrown2479]

Love your hair. Fun changing things up . Especially in the summer.

[@michaelabeneker4534]

My favorite is the Worry Ocean. Art is natural therapy, like making your own music. This artwork is the best exercise to confront your fears and Explore What the essence of your fears is. It helps to unwind as well because it takes you to the roots of your fears so you will find solutions for them, since your Mind is more relaxed and open to them. And it might also take your Mind off your fears and into momentum of relaxation,and be a good starting point for a drawing session against art Block.

Wow, you actually painted one of my all-time favourite paintings!! I've had the great fortune of seeing it live in London once and for some reason it really spoke to me and moved me, even though at the time I wasn't really into art necessarily - I certainly had no such strong emotional connections with it, anyway. Thank you, it was beautiful :') Also, the whole video was very inspiring, as usual.
