Recreating Artwork from 6 Years Ago... | Q&A / Draw this Again

[@Linz9011]

I honestly think it is so cool that you are keeping the baby names private. I respect that so much! I wish we had never shared the name we were thinking of because it came with so many peoples opinions. And now we aren't sure of a name anymore. But also, you deserve to have a private life outside of KZbin! ❤ Beautiful art as always! Hope your pregnancy is going well.

[@lindsayb2914]

I honestly just want to take the time to say thank you for not changing you channel into all things baby. I respect you want to keep your family’s privacy as well but so many of my favourite KZbinrs once they become parents their channel just becomes about being parents and although I’m happy for them that’s not the context I love. Thank you for keeping your channel about the art and not converting it to baby crafts and nursery design ❤️ I appreciate it even if that’s not the reason its staying the same.

[@christaboshoff6782]

I hate when people put their children on social media without thinking what footprint they are leaving. Just because people want to know something doesn't mean they should. So respect for your decision! Beautiful artwork, love the colours!!🌺

[@eshalsardar206]

I think the decision that you made about keeping privacy is a very very good decisions so just do what your heart says girl. We support you

[@CreativePhenomenonArt]

I love how you went in a different direction. Her hair came so good. Wow. In all fairness I do like and appreciate both pieces. 🤗💕

[@angharadlocke]

I Totally respect you and hubby for not sharing the babies on the internet and keeping their names private as well xxx

[@ThatAbigailGrace]

I love seeing how much you’ve improved, it helps boost my confidence that I’ll improve too, if I keep drawing!! 💕😊

[@tarynfin1263]

Holy crap this is amazing!!!!! I love your portraits, I love everything you do but I’ll this is so amazing. The hair, the skin, the colors!!! I’m shook🤗

[@LeanneRaina]

Oooh!! I got it wrong on the community channel when asked about this week's video. I thought it was going to be watercolors, but you surprised me! Honestly, I like both versions of your artwork but I can totally see how much you've improved with textures. Also, your highlights and shadows are a lot more polished as well. Thank you so much for sharing and keep creating, Mira!

[@shemer00]

Same here!

[@catherineetter2576]

Mira, total respect for you. I love your decision to protect your children.

[@milenaklien9308]

Sooo beautiful 😍 I love your decision to keep your babies private 👍

[@creationDragon]

I feel the same way about drawing people. I know I could but it's very daunting to me and anatomy is not the easiest to completely understand. I always feel like cartoons and nature art are usually more forgiving because you can mess up and it's less noticeable. I love your redraw. The brightness brings something extra special to it, I think.

[@ceilinh6004]

So cool! I've always struggled with drawing very dark skin tones, and I love the technique that you used for this piece. I'm feeling inspired. 🖌🖍😍

[@c.brackens9918]

Me too! I've been practicing for a few months. Laying down a dark rich color before the pencils is a game changer. 🤯

[@AnchoredArtDesigns]

Lovely video and such a great idea! Have seen this floating around a bit and am now feeling inspired to possibly try it out for a video myself!!

[@peachesyuson8989]

Super love the hair style. I also need to follow your advice not to be afraid to try new styles in my art. Happy to see you again here on yt. Hugs to you, Dorvan and to the twins 💐🤗🙏

[@lisagoetsch]

Love the keeping the babies private. That’s awesome. Maybe if you share a baby story or something call them baby acrylic paint and baby color pencil. Lol I love watching this piece just evolve and go from a flat color and drawing to such an amazing dimension piece.

[@SarahNewburyArt]

Hi Mira! I love how your painting turned out! I also love what you said about enjoying the process of creating rather than creating something for the end result which can be daunting. One of my art goals this year is to paint more and I think that keeping this in mind will help me to do that so thank you! Take care 😊

[@MiraByler]

Hey Sarah! That's a wonderful art goal for the year - I hope keeping that in mind helps you! I also hope you enjoy every step of the way. Sending you lots of love! 💜

[@WordsofaReader]

Beautiful work as always. Lovely to see the growth. X

[@robinstih1098]

I really enjoyed this video. I love it when artists recreate past works. Also, I love it when you do more realistic work. The contrast between your fun-loving personality and a serious setting is really enjoyable to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm there for all of the videos, but I'm mesmerized by the big ocean water oil painting and this recreation from today. I would love to see more videos like this.

[@creatingwithshanna8454]

I love the remake! the original was beautiful too, but the vibrant lively color on the remake is stunning!

[@sb51akalindy71]

What a wonderful piece of 🎨

[@dianeo]

Very striking art. Beautiful and rich. Plus the subtle patterned background really sets it off nicely. Sometimes I get so focused on the end result that I get nervous during my process, worrying that it's not coming out good enough. I really need to work on shifting that mindset and enjoy the process more. Good for you in choosing what to keep private. Glad this is going to continue to strictly be an ART channel. That's what I'm here for.

[@lunaazul5244]

I love it!!! She turned out gorgeous! 😍

[@Daisy_-dw2ms]

Ooh both versions look good!!

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

Love the way your 6 Year Ago Artwork turned out 💕

[@poemsbybow8104]

Please make this a print! It is just so beautiful

[@MiraByler]

It’s coming in March! 💕💕

[@GraphicKraken]

This is really beautiful, Mira! I enjoy videos like this where artist share their growth when making art. I think that this is a helpful way to keep me motivated when I see that others have made changes/improvements and it inspires me to keep going.

[@miameyer1365]

I’m in my first trimester and it’s tough.. I just keep thinking of you saying how important rest is. I do hope you are doing well and resting all you can! PS: both drawings are stunning! I love your art and your vibe!

[@MiraByler]

Thank you! I’ve definitely been resting a lot and learning to enjoy the little moments while I wait for their arrival in a couple months. I hope you’re able to rest too, and that your second trimester goes better! Congrats on your pregnancy! 💜💜💜

[@miameyer1365]

@@MiraByler thank you! I’m looking forward to the second trimester, I believe it will be much better. Rest well and enjoy the next couple of months of alone time with the hubby. Much love 🤍🤍

[@mimiadams247]

The 2016 piece is lovely. I found this new one to be SO beautiful! I really like how you not only went with vibrant colors, but that you went with such dark skin tones. The highlighting and detail really is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@rolandaj1219]

Beautiful congratulations being new parents you are right staying private is the best way

[@fatesfabel]

I love it!! Both are beautiful in their own way. I've been on a redoing/revisiting old artwork. I just did a piece today that was a redo of one I had done a long time ago (just finished it during your video).

[@TheCrazysingingurl]

Both pieces are beautiful, but I really like the new one. I think the bright colors are very pretty.

[@randomartshorts39]

I like doing this when I’m bored lol it’s really fun to see the progress so yeah and I rly like the vid it was really fun to watch:)

[@carmanpashawn7465]

I love them both.... but the new is amazing 👏🏼 thanks for sharing!!!!

[@hannachristmasplayersburke6651]

What can you improve in your heart that you did in the past that you could do now?

[@liesbethartlife]

WoW this is amazing drawing ! Style hopping is the best way to improve your art and not being stuck at just one part

[@jollyverma2363]

That looks stunning! 😍

[@tiffanymercier4049]

I love your videos when you color because I like drawing and painting or whatever you do is practically I like to do, so I love your videos there amazing ☺️☺️

[@elecheal7826]

stunning

[@dalila-k8o]

Hii early so excited to watch! 😁

[@morgancalloway3683]

Absolutely stunning Work Mira 💗 I really enjoy watching you draw portraits, there always so unique and bright. It was be really cool if you did like a portrait challenge, where you fill your sketchbook with really unique looking people

[@LapostropheAura]

this piece came out stunning! I love all of the textures

[@mearchdesign]

So relaxing all the process and the result is just amazing! *.*

[@realisticdreamer4726]

I love the outcome of the artwork, I just finished my Home work and feel so inspired to draw now, Thank you.

[@tziporapinson1172]

Your the most amazing, awsome, most creative artist u ever saw. Your the best!

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing, and keep on keeping your privacy. Your art is enough. 😊

You are so gifted Mira I love this 💗 Congratulations on your babies beautiful 🥰🥰

Love it Mira! It's fun to see how much you've grow.

[@christinescoloringandcrafts]

I love them both but the background of the new one just speaks to me. I love it!!

[@jenna4678]

Both pieces are so gorgeous!!!!

[@missrobinhoodie]

Wow I LOVE the finished piece!

[@teamorn7539]

I love it so much

[@blackrose538]

It's always good to see you :) Hope you and your little ones are doing amazing and I respect your decision to not put your babies out there for everyone to see, but keep your private life private. I think it's a good decision. When they're old enough they might want to pop in and say hi, but... they don't have to. Would've loved to know the names you picked, because I'm that curious, but like I said, it's good to protect their privacy :)

[@genaw3563]

I think my currently favorite art supply to use is colored pencils.

[@kelseys90u90]

So inspiring thank you so much for sharing with us your time and energy.

[@michellefang0223]

Yay! I feel so happy to watch your new video on my birthday!!!

You inspire me. You’re a great artist 👩‍🎨

[@melindarivera6598]

That is beautiful! Great job!

[@shaunaartsandcrafts3330]

I love your art whenever bc I can’t even get close to the one from 2016! I hope you’re doing well in your pregnancy. I am a twin mom so I remember feeling so much not in my own body. It was great but weird. The lack of being able to breathe properly was so different. Sending you love!

[@MiraByler]

Oh my yes I am out of breath so much!! I’m ready to feel like my normal self again haha

[@nicolebiel6678]

Such a gorgeous piece!!

[@c.brackens9918]

Wonderful, Mira!💓

[@justg1226]

The 2016 art strikes me as a teenager and the new one is the grown-up version of the same lady. Probably because you have also grown in the last 6 years. They are both beautiful women in their contrasting times of life.

[@MiraByler]

I love your interpretation - I never thought of it that way!

[@artsynora5682]

It looks beautiful 😍👏👏 I love it when you draw and color with colored pencils, bcz it's my fav kind of art supplies 😊

I love this piece so pretty both are amazing ❤️😁🥺

[@aspinimahapatra9183]

love this video ❤ and tc of ur babies and yourself ❤ God bless all of u 💜

[@recoveringsoul755]

I heard you the first time about keeping baby things private, as you should. I admit I have wondered about how you're decorating the nursery, but with your needle felting, cute art creations and knitting or crochet. I'm sure it will be adorable so i Don't ask. You'll be busy enough once they're here you may not even be able to sketch them when they're sleeping. Just focus on your health and theirs. I wish only good things for you.

[@britneydeford9573]

I hope we get to see one picture of the babies tho! We all want the best for you and would love to know what they are and that you’re all doing well.

[@PataPtichou]

This piece is amazing !

[@creativelychandra]

Both prints are super nice. You can definitely see your growth in the new print. ~ Where did you get the marker storage unit in the background?

[@MiraByler]

Thank you. I found it on Etsy a few years ago. There’s a lot of cool custom marker storage solutions on there!

[@catherinecostello4315]

I respect that your keeping the babies private, but hearing how you were talking your going to a awesome mom.

[@Littlewings1211]

Hi Mira! I heard you say about not being able to use oil paints at the moment (I assume this is because of the fumes and keeping the bubbas safe but as someone who has never been pregnant I could be completely wrong 😂) - I recently found out about water soluable oil paints and wonder if they would be something you can use? I have always wondered what using oil paints is like but honestly I know I am far too lazy to be responsible enough to clean it all after use. I have had to throw out a shameful number of paintbrushes because I forgot/couldn't be bothered to clean them when I am done (this is also one reason that I sway towards using watercolour or gouache more often 🤣). It would be really cool to see if the water mixable ones are able to be reactivated after they have dried. It also means that you don't have to use hazardous solvents as the oils in the paints are modified to use with water, leaving everything else comparative to regular oil paints (eg consistency, drying time, colour depth, light fastness etc). If you do decide to try them out (I'll chuck a link below to a small set by Windsor & Newton) it would be really good if you could do a video testing them out and reviewing them, then after the babies are born maybe adding a part 2 where you literally do side-by-side comparisons with regular oil paint? I absolutely love both of these pictures, I think the older one has a kind of Elfin feel, like I can imagine her with pointy ears and living as one with a huge, dense forest. This new one though definitely shows your huge technical improvement, especially with the skin - when your first layer was really dark I was thinking "Mira's lost her marbles" 😂 but then you brought out the light with pencils and I was absolutely awestruck, it looks incredible! 💜 Lastly, I just wanted to say that I am not in the slightest bit jealous of your Christmas present to yourself and have never once dreamed of owning a full set of Prismas..... 😶🤥🤥🤥😔🥺... Ok, that may not be 100% accurate. 🤣🤣 Sending love and best wishes to you, your husband and your two little nuggets from the UK! Stay safe and healthy! 💜💖💋💋

[@emmq_yt]

I really liked this video :) It was really inspiring and it gave me a boost a motivation to go and draw something! 💜

Beautiful

[@janesmith1917]

I like the first one more.

[@HeatherBryant22]

I think that the names baby a and baby b for now (until you give nicknames) should be enough info! Also MAYBE one day you can write your own children’s book and the twins being rainbow babies and the miracles they are:)
