Cozy Sketch with Me // Q & A

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- I thought it would be fun to do a paint with me video, and perhaps the start of a sketchbook session series! I asked you folks questions on my community tab, so I'll be answering your questions in this video while we draw and paint. I hope you enjoy this and feel like you're "hanging out" with me! Let's make some art!

Hi there! I'm just going to comment on the portrait at the end of the video. I'm not a perfect artist, and I too have things I'm trying to improve every day! Sadly, the skin tone did not turn out as dark as I had hoped, but I have learned from my experience and will try again in the future! The best way to learn and improve is to just jump in and try! The watercolor base for the skin tone was a bad idea for my page -- I should have either used something else, or painted on a page that didn't already have a ton of paint on the other side. I didn't want to cut the portrait out of the video, because I wanted to keep it real with you folks - I'm not perfect. My art needs improvement in many areas. That said, I've been striving to paint and honor my brothers and sisters of all races and improve as best I can. I'm very passionate about racial equity, and I like to celebrate that through my artwork when I do happen to draw/paint people. I understand I am not the best at skintones, but that does not reflect my beliefs in any way. I am so terribly sorry if it came off that way! My channel is, and always will be a safe space for EVERYONE. My channel is also a place where you are welcome to correct me if I am wrong. I love you all so incredibly much and want you to feel valued here!! 💜
We understand
Understand the thought, but I'm also trying to figure out human skin tones and anatomy, so I was so relieved to see that I don't need to start of huge.
PS u r already pursuing ur dream of encouraging, because u r literally my hero ❤
Just was thinking how courageous you were to put watercolor on that paper😳. Lmao
It’s not the best for that medium.
Also I love the fact you used soo many different types of mediums for that piece. Super cool, it’s actually my favorite from this video.
As for skin tone 😩 when I try to do light tones they end up too dark. We all have our hurdles.
💕Art is a Journey 💕
Happy weekend
Mira,you are PERFECT,everyones PERFECT and everybody learnes from their mistakes so you never have to be sad if something turned wrong.I also love your videos and you so much.😊😘😃
I think we could tell you weren't quite happy with the skin tone but it still looked good even for a practice piece. You're improving and I'm proud of you for trying anyway. You help encourage a lot of people to keep trying
Idk if this is weird but Mira just haves a smoothing voice
She really dose
I know right and she makes art so easy
Feel free to take breaks whenever u need to !!
Will do! 💜
Who else missed her?
💜
Mmwa
Hi I've just started watching your chanle and I think you're so inspirational
Glad my videos inspire you! Also welcome to the art family! Glad to have you here. :)
Same 😊
Same I just started only today and I love it already!!!
I love that you are open about your love for God! Your video's have helped me so much through my husband being deployed and a 2nd miscarriage while he has been gone. I just wanted to stop by and encourage you with you are helping so many people by just being you. I am glad you did not choose the dentistry path. Because of your videos, I started creating again. For this, I thank you!
Hey Tanja, thanks for sharing. I’m glad you started creating again! Also, I’m very sorry to hear of your miscarriage. Sending you so much love, and I’ll be lifting you up in prayer. That really is one of the hardest things to go through. 💜
@@MiraByler It is. But His grace is sufficient and He is near to the brokenhearted. Thankful for the prayers and love more than you know ❤
Mira is literally a whole different vibe (vibe queen)
IKR
Fr fr I like it , it’s inspiring 💚
I literally just got hurt by a icicle and I got cheered up when I saw Mira posted a video
Oh!
Oh no! I hope you’re okay. The icicles this year have been wild! We have a 4ft one hanging from the corner of our house right now 😂
@saanvi khare I feel you. I made two trips to quick care with a skin infection and tendinitis in my bicep. Later that day I fell down the steps with laundry and sprained my ankle.
Ouch! Hope you are alright.
"Cozy" is the definition of Mira's channel.
I agree
the story about you and your husband made me mushy! you’re too cute!
Me too! Such a great a cute story
Oooh, this video seems to be packed with some of my favorite things. Sketchbooks, Coziness, Painting & Mira! 😮♥️
I hope you enjoyed it!! 💜
can we just admit mira's art is literally amazing and so pretty!
- getriya
Aww thank you!!
The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense -Pablo Picaso❤️❤️
I think that I speak for everyone when I say that Mira is a very inspiring personality and that I can't wait every week to see her new video. 🌸
Hey Mira! We love you! Whenever you need to, you can ALWAYS take a break! It is not....law....for you to be posting for us. You do you! Can’t wait to get out of school to draw along! Keep up the great work my friend and stay warm! ⛄️❄️☁️✨☀️🦔
Not me painting my wall while listening to this
Hahahehhee
This sounds fun!!!
I’ve always wanted to paint something on my wall but my mom won’t let me :/ when I live on my own I’ll probably do it 😂
You are so inspirational!!I feel very relaxed when I see your videos,they are very refreshing and uplifting...
WOW did not expect my question to make it, i posted it rather late :D Thanks, Mira! I'll try to record in advance, though it's pretty hard while working a full time job :(
Hi Mira! I know I’m REALLY late to this video, but I love to watch these kinds of videos while doing art myself, and I’ve been super busy. I know you probably won’t see this comment, but I relate to you so much. I’m only 13, but I love art so much and it’s one of my favorite hobbies. I feel very much that I am a style hopper as well, I haven’t found what works best for me. I’m not sure I ever will. I’m not that good at realism, my dad always describes my style as “abstract realism.” My colors are really bright and I have a weird cartoony type of realism. I know this is really weird, but I love it! I’m also a perfectionist and struggle with not making a masterpiece😂. You are such an inspiration to me and I love to watch all of your videos and do art with you. If you need break of course that’s fine! but we will always be waiting for you when you come back to see us😊 Ilysm and see you soon!
Love these chit chat videos! Today we totally worked out together Mira! Had to get my stretches and crunches in! As for answering some of your questions, I can totally relate to the one about having a hard time creating art because you want it to be perfect. My best advice for this is to play a scribble game with someone. I do this with my kids all the time. One of us will scribble a few lines on a piece of paper and then it is the other person’s job to figure out what to turn that scribble into. It is good because it takes away the fear of a white page and makes you think outside the box. You can twist the paper in any direction you want till you see what magical creature or fun character or epic scene is waiting to hop out of those lines. One of my favorite creations that came out of this is an iguana lounging in a robe. I’ve never drawn iguanas before and certainly not one lounging but there he was hiding in the lines and I brought him out. Let me know if you ever decide to give this a try. I’d love to see what you create!
Glad we worked out together!! How fun! I absolutely LOVE the idea you shared so much! That's a wonderful activity to overcome perfectionism, and a cool way to spend time with others. Thanks for sharing! 💜
Sadly I have to go to sleep now due to time difference. I will watch this as soon as I wake up and right now I just wanted to ask you how are you feeling Mira!! ^^
I hope you sleep well! I'm feeling great after my little break. And we have lots of snow, so what a lovely excuse to create some art while sipping tea and enjoying some candles! Hehe.
@@MiraByler That is nice to hear! Its very windy where i live but no snow. It did rain alot so I painted a little while watching your sketchbook tour 2020 (its one of my fav videos i watch it regularly lol)
I usually don't whatch art videos because it puts me down as im young and my art isn't the best but your videos are just amazing and definitely inspire me.
I've watched you're videos for a long time and never realized you were in columbus! Me too! That's exciting! Great to know there's such talented artists in columbus! Love your artwork!
Columbus buddies!!!
I fudgin' love the first painting, it's so peaceful and calm ❤
Mira, I loved the video! The part where you said you wanted to inspire people really hit me and even though you might not see this I just wanted to let you know that you really have inspired me do create more and do what I love! I also love your sketchbook videos🤩
Aw, thank you! That makes my heart happy! 💜
Omg so cute I can just hear the smile in Mira's voice when she is talking about your husband❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love your artwork Mira!!!!
You are such an amazing person Mira! I love your art and I hope you never stop doing what u love!
I’m so happy I found your channel! Love your content, it has inspired me to pick up painting again!❤️
Ahh so happy to hear you picked up painting again! :)
I always enjoy watching someone else paint and see their process. Your prices is so interesting with each layer providing another interesting painting! Thank you for sharing some of your personal life! It did make me happy to know you are involved in a church and went to a Bible study in college! You seem like you would be a really sweet friend!
I feel so refreshed each time i watch your video and i just love watching you paint and draw! It makes me feel the creative energy too!💗
Can we just take a moment and say that she has the best voice in the world ❤️?
About the last question that you answered- you encourage me a LOT with your art and with your TH-cam videos! I've followed your content here on TH-cam for a handful of years now and it's artists such as yourself that inspire me to keep creating even when I've felt like giving up. I would have never gotten to the point where I am at with my art today if I hadn't started to watch TH-cam or continued to. Thank you so much for every video that you've ever posted!
Ahh thank you for sharing that. It really warmed my heart to hear a little bit about your own journey. 💜
@@MiraByler you’re welcome, Mira!! 🤍
I really appreciated what you were saying about style-hopping. I have tried for years to nail down a style to stick to, and genuinely thought that there must have been something wrong with me cause I just can't do it. I go from old-school disney animals, to semi-realistic landscapes, to calligraphy, to fantasy creatures. I try any medium, pencils, acrylics, oils, watercolours, markers, pastels, digital... just can't find my "one thing". It's very reassuring to know that I'm not alone in this, and that it doesn't make me any less of an artist. From now on I'll try to focus less on finding a consistent style, and more on just doing whatever makes me happy at the time. Thank you Mira!
Reading your commend made me so incredibly happy. I’m glad to hear you’re going to embrace hopping from thing to thing and just go for it! There is so much value in your creations! Keep up the good work. 💜💜
Omgggg hii I love you so much and just by the title I kniw how much inspiration this is going to give me tysm for posting such amazing videos I love you so much and have a great day everyone and anyone reading this 💖💗❤❤
Thank you! Have a great day too! 💜
I just found your channel like I month ago, and I'm hooked 🤩 I'm not astetic at all and every time I try, I get so frustrated that I can't be free and let go, my whole mindset are in lines, balance, symmetry and systems 🙈 But when I look at your videos I get my share of art 🤩 Thank you for make me feel satisfied 🙏
I absolutely love these type of laid back chit chatty videos because I love being able to draw and listen to someone else talk while seeing what their making!! It just makes me feel so happy that I'm kind of doing art with another person instead of by myself!! :D
I kinda put off watching this video as I enjoy watching your videos and I have been in such a foul mood and I was waiting to watch because I knew that I would not watch you and be unhappy! Yep, sometimes you gotta let your anger out! I have continued to make art in as many styles as I can. Having only one style is death for a freelancer. You have to be flexible with as many different mediums as possible. I know that my watercolor paintings have a certain “look” and I am learning about soft pastels as I have a desire to loosen up and try to create in a more impressionistic manner. I enjoyed watching you create each and every one of the artworks you did in this video. Please take care and be safe and say Hello to Dorv!
I also enjoy encouraging others. Also giving constructive critique, helpful advise, tips and teaching. Reaching personal goals. I hope to make a living off my art and TH-cam sometime soon and constitute to DM, worldbuilding, write, create various art, etc. There is also so much to study and learn!
Enjoyable relaxing video.
I did some chores while watching.
Thanks.
This was fun and relaxing to watch and listen to. Each of the pieces is different. Hard to a favorite.
im so glad someone like yourself is able to express the normal in style hopping as i feel i dont have a style and i love so many different kinds of art i dont want to seclude myself to just one category, so thank you for making my varying abilities and styles as a artist feel normal. i love you channel and you art
Anytime!! I think it's really cool that you style hop!! Keep at it! :)
@@MiraByler thank you so much and recently i have been becoming more aware of people who do style hope so its quite powering so i definitely have the confidence to keep pushing
The portrait at the end is beautiful. Amazing work.
Wonderful video 👌 will watch the full video afterwards , I have to sleep because I live in India. Looking forward to another qna soon.
I'm a style hopper too! You explained style hopping so well. I feel like so many people prefer when people have a set style and I think the way you explained it may help people be more interested in those of us who don't have a style. I think my favorite page today was the cat. Loved the multiple eyes! I forgot you started a new channel. I'm going straight to it now and get subscribed so I don't forget again.
Yay! Style hoppers unite. Hopefully it encourages people to embrace being a style hopper too! I hope you're doing well by the way. 💜
@@MiraByler aww! Thank you! I hope you’re doing well too!
I was wondering what to do for the LAST page in my sketchbook!! so excited I think I found the best inspiration!
thx Mira! you're the best
I literally love your content so much, Mira. It makes me so happy and I get so pumped when I see that you posted a new video. You are so talented and amazing and I really hope you have an amazing week!
I always find your videos so relaxing. Always a pleasure to watch.
I love these kind of videos its so relaxing and enjoying and Mira's personality is so comforting and happy i just love your videos like these
Thank you so much for the tips and for responding to my question, Mira! Your videos always inspire me to create. Also, I really like this type of chill video -- it's so chill!
Hmm... Columbus area restaurants. I’m vegan, but a few that I’ve enjoyed are Eden Burger and Loving Hut.
Love your videos!!
Thanks for answering my question. You inspired me to get back into my art.
Shout out from Cleveland!
Great video. You are a lovely person. Spending time with you is joyful. Thanks.
Painting relaxes me and so is drawing. I even listen to music while I paint and draw.
I love the peachy stickers. When they go up for sale i hope to get them. I just learned that some women going through uterine & endometrial cancer use peach to symbolize themselves. I like that idea. Beyond the physical aspect, i love the beauty, sweetness and fragility of the peach as a symbol as well as a its history in art itself; peach pit sculpture comes to mind. You may have just had the cuteness as your inspriation, but dont you just love that about art? ,that it can be transformed by the individual viewer and take on life beyond the creator's original vision. Looking forward to shopping!
I am so excited to watch the whole video☺️🦋🥺🥺
I believe one of your questions slipped into the video too! :)
@@MiraByler Yes!Thank you so much.Honestly,like you said,I jump between different styles and recently,I have been loving Realism although maybe a month ago,I was really into abstract backgrounds and you really inspired me and now I feel like I can express those styles whether I am confident about it or not.😊
omg, I love these types of videos. so fun to watch and do painting with you
Hi Mira! I love this longer chat and paint style video! I also love that you switch between realism and a more illustrative style. It’s so fun to watch. Have a great weekend 😊💜
Mira!! I kind of stopped watching your videos for a bit which i will regret forever, but I am so glad your back and happy and healthy and the same positive Mira you always were and always will be! Looking forward to seeing more of your masterpieces, and as always, stay Mira!!❤💛💚💙💜💖❤💛💚💙💜💖
Thank you Naomi!! 💜 I hope you're doing well!
@@MiraByler You too! Thank you for hearting my comment!❤❤❤
Loved this video, and I felt free to create. Your channel is a hangout for me, whenever I’m feeling unmotivated or tired, your videos calm me, and make me laugh. I feel motivated and uplifted whenever I watch one of your videos! Thank you Mira.
I try to avoid watching other art you tubers 1) bc Mira Byler is my fav 2) Bc it changes my art style if I watch someone else who likes maybe realistic or sketching rather than doing more illustrative vibey stuff like Mira. LOL
That's a cool door painting!!
Ahhh!!! You answered my question!!
I want those notepads!!!
I love style hopping ... I'd get bored just doing landscapes all day.
Style hoppers unite!! And yes, I couldn't resist answering your question Renee. 💜 I hope you have a good weekend!
@@MiraByler AWWW!!! I didn't know what to ask but wanted to participate!! LOL!!!
I really love the vibe of that first one!!!
I wasn't planning on sitting down and doing art with you but i cant resist it looks so relaxing:)
Ive been struggling with a really bad art block and i just didnt want to take a break even though i knew its what i needed, but i took the break and focused on school and today i painted stitch from lilo and stitch and got out of my art block!!! :) i hope this helps other people struggling with art block!
Yana that’s amazing to hear!! Thanks for sharing. 💜
I love the hangout artwork questions and answers, this is perfect....I'm glad someone asked why you went to college for Biology but you do more art, it's good to have a back up but also I can see the other side of how you wasted time and money on a university, but then again you would have never meet your husband. Well I still love your art work and looking forward to more
I love travelling myself, one of my biggest travel goals is to go to japan, or just anywhere outside of my country haha, id love for you to visit Australia one day if you haven’t already, i think you’d love it 😊
I listened to ur video while I was getting ready!LOL😆
I don't live in Columbus, but come down every year for the big game convention that happens there and LOVE North Market! I look forward to eating there as much as I look forward to the game convention and seeing my friends!
North Market is amazing!!! 💜💜💜
I really enjoyed this video and got some things from the shop :) excited
Thank, Katherine! I'm glad you enjoyed this. :)
Thank you so much for this time together. It's was nice to 'geek out' with you. As a result I finally gathered the courage to break open the gouache paints i have never used before and puddled about with them to discover their properties. I think im hooked! This is what ive been looking for all my life. Watercolours that behave like acrylics or is it acrylics that behave like watercolour?
Ahh I'm so proud of you for trying out gouache!! :)
Mira!! This video was a major learning point for me about wat art was thankyou! Love you!
YAY! Mira is back!! You have brightened my day thank you!
It feel like it's been forever! I have been watching your older videos. I missed you. Hope you're doing alot better though. I loved this it's so relaxing. I'm definitely a style hopper
OMG your outfit is SO CUTE and you are SO TALENTED
Hi I am a new subscriber, I really enjoy watching your videos and your art work is amazing, I have a granddaughter who also loves drawing and painting, I have always loved art, so glad I found your channel, thank you for sharing your beautiful art work 🎨💕
Thank you for your kind words, Cathy! Welcome to the art family. 💜✨
@Mira Byler Thank you 💕
Mira, you are such a good artist and q role model. I always find your art interesting and calming. Also, your art is an inspiration to me. I had so much fun watching this video, and listening to it. Please do more longer videos such as this one, I really enjoy them and I think many other people do too!!!!!! Thank you 😊
-From your BIGGEST FAN
I love these videos. I can agree I am a total style hopper. I love using so many different mediums, different styles, and even projects. I do a little bit of everything, while sometimes it can take you longer to get more proficient at one medium when you are constantly changing things up. However, for me I just have to change things up all the time. I am glad I am not the only one that has like 3 or 4 different drinks when they are working lol. I always have my trusty water bottle, then I have my "salty" drink for my health, then I have will sometimes also have coffee/tea, or a seltzer of some sort. I always look really thirsty.
I would say that's a well rounded palette. For drinks, not paint... wait.... for paint too since you are using multiple mediums!!! Hahaha. Also glad to know you're a style hopper. Especially since we comment back and forth quite a bit! :)
@@MiraByler I agree, I always joke that I look really thirsty all the time. I am a style hopper and a medium hopper, I prefer it that way. I think it is more fun and keeps things fresh and interesting. 💖
Your art is amazing!! I really love these types of videos. Love you ❤️🥰
thank you for being such an inspiration for my youtube channel! I love your artwork!
- getriya
Your answer about when to sell art was really helpful. I've been putting my art out there and trying to incorporate content on different platforms and figure out how to sell my art and it was too overwhelming, and it took a lot of my focus away from the Art that I love. All that to say Thanks for sharing your thoughts and story.
I love the door painting! ❤️😍
I am so glad you are back!!
So I got 1 leaf painted during this video, lol. I am enjoying all of your videos having them play in the background while I clean, get ready or do a project. I also am not working in the field I went to school for. But even though your not in biology, do you think/I believe that you get to use some of what you learned in bio into your art? Like drawing/ painting animals, nature and even human anatomy.
Gosh, I love her. I only have two more pages in my sketchbook so im going to paint along with her to finish it up!
Hi Mira, love your vids! I really missed you! I loved the Q & A, and your art is so amazing!! Great job on this! :)
Me cleaning my room: (quiet)
(Goes to put music)
Sees new video from Mira
Me : ok just wait until i finish
Me: just...(watches the whole video)
Me again realises that i watched the video , talking to myself:sorry i had to ,nobody is gonna know.
Mira love your videos and you as well and this actually from my head so ,yeah.😁😁😁
Hi from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Welcome back! Love your videos!
And the third one too, love that one.
Your painting are just awesome!
Am soo in love with you and your artworks💕💕💕💕
Specially the yellow model girl u painted in this video is damn good🤩.
Soo much love to you mira from India!🤗❤
Ahh. I am definitely a style hopper, I learned to embrace it recently but I think I am having a relapse and a style crisis. No idea what I am doing with my art and wishing my style was consistent! I still know that I should just accept that I like to hop around but it is so hard sometimes. Especially when I don't see improvement in any of them because I don't stick with the same thing long enough to learn! Loved this video Mira and your weird cat thing haha!
You are definitely a style hopper! That’s something that drew me to your artwork as we were getting to know each other. I love that you also hop around and we can obsess over our phases together, then the next we we both switched! Hahaha! 💜💜
@@MiraByler Yeah it's good to have a hopping buddy! It makes me happy to know that we can nerd out over it together haha!
Loved this longer style video, it definitely has a hangout type vibe to it...
The cosmic cat is my favourite art piece of the day, it makes me feel like he can see & hear my thoughts...
As always I look forward to your next video, take care & stay safe my lovely...
💫😷✏👩🏼🎨🖌😷💫
Could you make prints of the first painting that you did. It’s beautiful!!!! I love it so much
great job with that bright outfit 🙂
even with proper ventilation watch with paints, my lungs after 30 years cant even take a wiff of a smell of paint without causing me to have probs with breathing, just FYI 🙂
Finally....!!!!! I'm so so so much happy right now ,I was just sitting getting bored and Ur notification arrived, and u must have seen my reaction!!!!. But I'm swear I'm so happy right now .....Yess.....!!????😋😋😍😍🤩😘🤗 And so much happy to see u after a very long time,and the whole week just watching Ur videos without getting bored
Yeah!! Same
I actually got to sketch along with your video! (And no, I was not in the car today) I feel like I keep saying this, but your videos are so relaxing to listen to and watch.
Gasp!! You know, I think this might be a record. We’ve been commenting back and forth while you’re in the car for about a year. 😂 Glad you got to sketch along with me! 💜💜
@@MiraByler I know, we will be back to our regular schedule car comments next week 😂
I love your videos, they are so motivational!!
BTW your art is awesome!
thanks mira for a long relaxing video 😊😄
I loved this video. It was so nice to sketch with you 🥰
Thank you for doing this. What a joy! Glad you're back.
Though I love animals, I understand why you choose not to have pets. They require much time and can be a financial and emotional drain. Plus, it complicates things if you want to travel. Despite that, I couldn't be without a furry creature in my life so I have 5 rescued cats and 2 dogs! Sigh.
I also go through different art phases so I totally relate to your desire to try different styles.
Love the story about how you and your husband got together. A friendship builds a solid foundation for a successful marriage!
I'm an Ohio girl (but now live in Florida). I do have relatives in Columbus and they love it!
I applaud you for rescuing so many fur babies! It sounds like you have a warm heart! 💜 That's cool you live in Florida now. I hope you're enjoying the warm weather. I saw on the news Florida is so nice and warm right now, which makes me a little jealous. Sounds lovely, haha. :)
@@MiraByler I get attached quickly to any animal that crosses my path, lol. Our Florida weather warmed back up to the 80s this week. Honestly, I was truly enjoying the chillier days as it was a nice break from the sweltering heat! Seeing the Ohio snow pics makes me a little homesick :)
I tend to switch mediums. But my absolute fav is acrylic. I always go back to that. Though I'd like to try gouche and oils this year
I love the notebooks and the stickers! I’m definitely going to be purchasing some! Love you Mira! ♥️ ❤️
