Easy Sketchbook Ideas that take Less than 30 Minutes

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

I really needed this video!! At 48 years old, I've taken up doodling recently for the first time... and I'm quite enjoying it!! So relaxing, so fun. It's a great new habit to replace mindless scrolling on my phone. Will definitely try these ideas in my sketch book. Thanks for sharing! Much love 😊

[@MiraByler]

So glad to hear you’ve been enjoying doodling!!

[@Larems879]

I just commented about wanting a studio day with Mira for my birthday in June… I will be 48. I love seeing that some of my peers also enjoy her channel and engage with art!

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

@@Larems879 Yayyy!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one 😊 Sometimes my husband looks at me like I'm crazy 🤪 I'll be sitting on the couch quietly doodling in my book each night... I've got little smile on my face full of joy and peace... And he'll walk by, "You doodlin' again"?? Then he laughs, shakes his head and smiles. I suddenly feel like I'm 8 years old again. It's marvelous!! ✨

[@Tastykake83]

Omg congrats! Same!! At 40 I'm learning doodling, acrylic, and watercolor. I hope to be able to afford the gouache set mira showed us with the 52 colors it's only $43! So hopefully in the next couple months I can get one of those! It's helped me process alot of trauma from a very very traumatic 12 years that I narrowly escaped with my life! It's been so good to watch these videos, read the comments, and see some other folks who are a lil older and learning like me!

[@cheriekarley2479]

@@Tastykake83 Hi I’m so sorry for your past. I do identify with you with this. I do art journaling for the same reason. It’s not writing (unless I put it under what I’m making and I only know it there and what it means) For me I use it to put my feelings on the page and do my best to leave it there. I’ve black pages red pages with nothing on them or I’ll put texture and mix it on the page. I call myself a mixed media artist. I gifted and sold some canvases. But mostly it’s just for me. I loved this video from Myra because I’ve had art block for well over a year and I’m needing help or prompts to get me going again. What she has done here for me is perfect. And a perfect way to start again. Bless you keep moving forward at your own pace you’ll get your head above water and fight your way to stay there. Not fun but definitely worth the journey. Cheers ♥️🇦🇺

[@michelleannette7994]

Can't wait to share with my 3 year old granddaughter. She absolutely loves your videos. We watch them together, and she just loves them. We just finished watching you paint the cute little kitty in the sleeping moon, and the plant in the pot sketchbook spread, and Lorelei, my granddaughter, couldn't wait to get out her art supplies to start painting what she saw you paint❤ thank you for sharing so much love and fun for all of us, love Michelle, and Lorelei❤❤

[@jaimezimmerman1670]

That is so sweet & you will create so many wonderful memories! ❤

[@jenemar14]

I love the blue-beary, particularly the idea of leaves for hair! I enjoy seeing your simple sketchbook ideas and hope you do more.

[@MiraByler]

Thank you! Will do!

[@KelliHediger]

I love your work. But I have a soft spot for teddy bears. The blueberry one was my favorite!

[@jaeleaphoenix9203]

As a busy adoptive momma of 6, who is learning to take time for herself, I loved these simple ideas! Please continue to share more easy sketchbook ideas that make me feel encouraged to continue drawing when I've followed along! I absolutely love your work! I live near-ish Columbus and want to go to Blick sometime - hopefully I'll run in to you there. 😁

[@KatieMAmador]

I love the quick easy ideas - definitely! Thanks!!

[@cherrildavidse2868]

Love, Love, Love these ideas! Sometimes the reminder that creating should be FUN first!

[@TechnicolourFlamingo]

The fish scales drawing idea is reminding me of a book from my childhood called Rainbow Fish. I am definitely going to try these ideas out to fill the rest of my sketchbook up. I love your videos Mira, such uplifting and positive vibes.

[@jaimezimmerman1670]

My son loves the rainbow fish book. We both love the colors so much. It's a great book! 😊

[@JacJaxLurks]

One of them has given me the best idea for something! Its been months and I've been stuck what to do next. Everyone needs quick sketch ideas at some point. Thanks so much for all your videos, especially given the fact you a busy mum and wife. Your content and the way you address the audience, you speak to the everyday person. Everything of yours makes me feel like I can try as well! Thank you 🥰

[@86naiky]

I couldn't agree more. Thank you!

[@cheriekarley2479]

Oh Mira This is fantastic what a wonderful idea. As someone who’s had Art block for such a very long time now. (Mental health husband surgery and many other things that interrupt life in not a fun way) This is a wonderful low or no stress idea no pressure to fill a full page simple but very beautiful ideas where I can sit on my bed or lounge and just draw. Love this and I’m so very grateful for all these ideas. Thank you kindly 🇦🇺 Not after a potty party or anything it’s just facts and my gratitude. Cheers cherieK 🌈🇦🇺

[@edc9864]

Love the blue-beary!❤

[@tanwencooper6928]

Some great ideas here. Just shows you can create something nice without having to spend hours on it.

[@Julsieannie]

Love this type of video. I’d love to see more like this.

[@Jgilbil24]

I love these sketchbook idea vids so much - they’ve taken me from watching to doing ! I just had to share - I was drawing my own blueberry bear and my 6 yr old son puts down his phone to see what I’m up to and got SOOO excited he painted his own “orange” fruit bear. I’ve never seen him put so much detail in a drawing with flowers a bee clouds and sun and his adorable bear and we both have a list of other fruit bears we want to draw ! I even got him some paint pens for his birthday this week. It was such a heartwarming moment for me as a mom and a reminder that the power of creativity is life changing - my child jumping off his phone to try something else with me just made My day and we have you to thank for inspiring us!! 🎉❤❤❤

[@jaimezimmerman1670]

That's awesome! You'll make some great memories! ❤😊

[@CrystalBerrios]

I really liked the pencils & Blue Bear 🥰

[@canadakaren1131]

Love this Mira. These are nice and easy for me to do at work during lunch so I can relax and clear my mind 😊

[@kimberlyechols7280]

They're all so cute. My favorite is the flower eyeballs. I love watching whatever you do. I like how you mix it up with a nice variety of projects. ❤

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

The pencils are adorable! 😍 In the middle of winter, from Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day, it seems like it needs red to add love and color to the surroundings. Vermillion fits right in! ❤️ The blue beary probably shows why polar bears eat out of berry patches!! 🤣 Eyeball flowers and the strawberry bunny are cute! 🤗 I thought the arches were gonna be bunny ears, lol! 🐰 That would make awesome scrapbook paper!! 👍 I would be more likely to do rainbows in mostly primary colors! 🌈🥰

[@dorisberry7907]

I LOVE the 30 minute sketchbook ideas!

[@whitewave1480]

My Favorites were the fish scale and the bluebear, was so cute.

[@keithauer5685]

I'm in highschool, I go to a dance studio almost everyday, I also take piano & ukelele leasons. I love making art but I find myself not having time. This past christmas you inspired me & I painted wooden ornamants for my brothers(there maried & have kids) and one set of grandparents.(the other set lives really far away & I wouldn't be able to give it to them) so I'm REALLY loving this video idea & would love more. God bless you & your family Mira, you've gotten me thru some tuff times. ❤🙏 Plz like so Mira sees 👀

[@PurpleWillowArts]

I love this video!! As a Mom of 3 and a person with disabilities (MS and RA) I love to see the quicker art ideas so they are manageable for me. Thank you for this!!!! ❤

[@ChantelleArts]

so many fantastic ideas, I love them ☺☺

[@kaliehall-to8im]

Nice artwork and the stickers to guys night out

[@Aneres225]

That iridescent paint is a game changer! Is that unicorn milk? Such cute ideas I can easily sketch out to test out supplies and relax, I love it.

[@MiraByler]

It is Golden Heavy Body Acrylic brand. I neeeeed to get more unicorn milk! I blew through that stuff haha!

[@jaimezimmerman1670]

​@@MiraBylerHmmm, what's unicorn milk? Sounds strange. 🤔

[@peachesyuson8989]

Bunny and Blueberry bear are both cute sticker ideas 😁

[@jaimezimmerman1670]

👍😊❤️

[@robertadias2020]

I love this kind of video, not for the ideas but to see you drawing whatever without pressure or perfectionism ❤

[@dgs788]

I loved this video idea. I drew the bunny, but the blue berry is so cute too!

[@Becky_One]

Yay! Finally another left handed artist!❤

[@deniseramirez9706]

I like them all. The bunny was extra cute🥰

[@beechball82]

I love this stuff, but I love all your stuff! I appreciate your insight, perspective, and opinions ❤ keep it up, mommax2!

[@MiraByler]

Thank you!! 💜💜

[@maryzefo3801]

I love the idea of theme sketch books 😊

[@rachelmeyer526]

I literally have one of your stickers on my sketchbook right now. It's one of your wildflower pieces and it makes my cup so pretty!

[@andrewengelbrecht8873]

That’s the very sketchbook I’m using it’s my favorite 😍

[@MiraByler]

It is soooo good!!

[@katelyn8092]

Love this!!!! I'm a busy student, always wishing I had time to draw, so I can't wait to do them all. 😊

[@SandraEAvila]

Loveeeee these quick ideas!!! Thank you and if you can please do some more 😃

[@BlessedForever888]

favourite was the blue-bear-y. How adorable is that :)

[@miiaproductions]

Love both your more complex sketchbook ideas and “easier” ideas like in this video 😄 I love to create and spend time on a piece, but some days I don’t have that much time but still would love to create something, ideas like this is perfect for those days! I really love how you simplified all the shapes, you made everything look so approachable and easy to do 😄 Drawing in my sketchbook right now, I’m definitely going to try some of these ideas 💜✨

[@4chencookie1]

Love it! More please. I feel like I start and can't finish...so this looks doable. Maybe like ADHD sketchbook ideas.😊

[@jaimezimmerman1670]

I know what you mean! 😅

[@jadaclark9440]

Really loved the pencil idea! I'll be using that one soon! I have some other simple ideas that you can use :) -Instead of the fish scales, do a honey comb pattern. cut out a hexagon with cardboard and trace it over and over. -A cute bookshelf with plants and knick knacks -a patchwork doll or stuffed animal -draw geode rocks -draw a pair of sunglasses with a phrase in the lens like "summer time" or "beach babe"

[@jaimezimmerman1670]

I like your ideas! Might try some. 😊

[@LenaGoller]

Love these videos!!!! please do more

[@Chickabick]

These are perfect for busy parents ❤ can't wait to add these ideas to my sketchbook!

[@kategraham6792]

I like all your sketchbook ideas. The quicker ones are just as good as the longer ones. I loved the rabbit, bear and scale pattern. Especially the shimmer on the scale pattern 😍

[@MiraByler]

Thank you! So glad you liked them!

[@bookshelfhoney]

Yay i need to get out of my art block slump lets go!! Love your sketchbook videos! Also i have that artika sketchbook and it is really nice! It's such good quality for the price

[@MiraByler]

It is such a good sketchbook! And I hope some inspiration strikes for you!! 💜💜

[@maryzefo3801]

Oh I just love the blue beary. I think I must give it a try.. I love blueberries and I love bears and blue is my favorite color 😂💙💙💙

Amazing. Followed along to this one. I accidentally used a different shade of blue for the bear but it came out good.

[@tabethafrick7102]

Yes please! I love these videos. When I finish a major project I enjoy taking a couple of days to doodle. Your fill a sketchbook videos are so much fun. BTW I loved the Bluebeary❤❤❤

[@Artkittyk]

Love these types of videos ❤

[@reganstandlick7520]

love your sketchbook videos. Please do more dice videos and vlog videos, I am going to try out making egg biscuits for breakfast this coming week thanks to that video. Also have you ever considered linking where you get some of your clothes. The blue bear especially is adorable

[@MiraByler]

Aw I will definitely have to make some more of those videos! I thrift a lot of my clothes but always happy to link things when I can! 😁💜 I hope your egg biscuits turn out well!!

[@emisaurushex]

I feel like this is also good for trying out new art materials that you’re less familiar with, it takes the pressure off making a super fancy detailed sketch right beforehand, which you then fear ruining with your new materials that you don’t know how to use properly yet 😅

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

great ideas. 😊👍🏼

[@emxeliz]

these videos are always such go tos for me 💜💜 so inspiring, thank youuu

[@MiraByler]

Ahh so glad to hear you enjoy them! I hope this one provides a lot of inspiration!

The bunny

[@Larems879]

If anyone wants to know what I want for my birthday in June, it’s a day with Mira (and Sophia) in her studio!

[@erikshappywife]

Now I have to find my sketchbook 😕 I lost in after taking it to the hospital when my momma was in the hospital a couple months ago and I have never seen it since 😢💔 I REALLY hope I didn't leave it there because it was at least a third of the way filled ..maybe more...and I loved it and my artwork inside so much...uugghhhh!!!😫 I hope I can find it because I wanna sketch now. You have inspired me and now I need to create!!! I also WANT YOUR STICKERS SOOOOO BADLY!!!! But, I am sooo broke I couldn't afford to buy if you gave me 95% off...ok...I would SOOOO buy them then, like ALLLL of them!!! LOL, But that ain't gonna happen 😔 anyway, love from an Ohio girl who now lives in misery...I mean, Missouri 😂 ❤ Ya BUNCHES!!!

[@jaimezimmerman1670]

I so need a bunny & a bear sticker! Think about it...🤔! I think the fishscale page would look pretty with like shiny mermaid colors. Does anyone have any tips for keeping my colored pencils from looking streaky? I have the exact same sketchbook as she is using & it's really nice & affordable too. That's actually why I got it, but it's a good book. 😊

[@verap8792]

Do you place anything under the page when you use alcohol markers?

[@colorcrazi4016]

So many markers...where do I start?

[@BalaenopteraMusculusLover]

Ok so I'm watching this late but I pick a color everyday by random and chose Vermillion only to come to this video and you were constantly using it 😅

[@jodiewilson3681]

Hiiii

[@MiraByler]

Hi! How are you? 😀

[@mermiefasmart1387]

It irritates to no end that markers bleed through danged paper in my similar sketchbook and decided to use a GLUE STICK and glue every other page together so that the pages are thicker and I can do both sides
