Hi Mira! I am a very big fan and have been a fan for many years. BUT I have gone through a few rough years, including surgeries, health struggles and deaths in my life. I stopped watching art and more importantly stopped doing art. However, I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping inspire me to get a sketchbook from Amazon (I'm from South Africa and good art supplies cost an arm and a leg, not to mention that they are hard to find, I stay in a really small town.) I have had some really bad health struggles and have started diving into my art to just get out some of the feelings inside of me onto paper... Thank you for not swearing and being real, a lot of youtubers put me off with their language and their pretenses. So I've found that I keep coming back to your videos. Sorry for the long comment but I truly just wanted to say thank you for being YOU and being so inspirational. You really made a difference in my life and now I can finally be kind to myself in my art. ❤
I've learned that sometimes birds rest with one leg tucked up to retain body heat. It's possible that guy only had one leg, but maybe it was just chilly
I SUPER appreciated the bow tie and glasses on the goose! I loved your laughter when you drew the glasses. I don't know many artists who draw funny things, it just makes art more fun!
I really like these videos with quicker doodle, not being so serious about everything, cutebirb. You got my interest but now you have my attention on those pastels! No chipping of the product, no smudge, no smear? I am in! I thought wax and pastel do not go together, my dear I was wrong
😂😂 Mira! The goose in the parking lot got me giggling so good. The glasses on the duck 😍 It's been so rainy here. I needed this ray of sunshine of a video ❤ had me smiling the whole time❤
Thank you, Mira, for sharing your new discovery. I would never have thoughts to try. And now.......! My order of 4 of your stickers came. They are more beautiful up close. It's like opening a present. And the back of your thank you card are wonderful examples of you. I love your variety of talents! TU for the extra leaf. After much pondering, their new home is on my computer where I can enjoy each day. Now have my eye on a few more; but of course! 😊❤
This is what I love about art supplies- there's literally so many different styles and ways a product can be made for artists. We can experiment and have fun with what works for us. Your Goose turned out cute! QUACK.
My favourite coloured pencils are poscas. They came in the same weird tray case so I rehomed them into a pencil case. If I liked pastels I'd be very tempted by these. I love the duck, the shading is fabulous! Plus there's just something about a bird with a bow tie.
This video just showed up in my feed. I have been looking at oil pastels and various sorts of sticks like tempera and gelatos. I really like the looks of these Posca Pastels. Especially because they are wax based and non smearing. And what a CUTEBIRD you drew! I love him. The border really added the perfect touch.
Another wax pastel to look into is the Caran d'Ache Neocolor I. I have both, the Posca and the Necolor I, and they feel very similar. The Neocolor I have 40 colors in the range, plus 10 metallics, so they're good for filling out the Posca color range.
I am so happy I found your channel earlier today. I didn't think I'd ever want to try pastels, other than chalk pastels for backgrounds. Thank you so much for sharing this test. These are now on my list to get. By the way, I am really enjoying your videos. You're so relaxed and make are so much fun to watch.
Enjoyed the swan, so cute. I love the style hopping. So glad the pastels worked out for you - would love to see you use them some more - maybe in a floral piece or a water picture could be spectacular blending some of those colours.😊
I ❤ Posca Color Pencils (I’m a similar storage container that I also like), however, I can’t wrap my head around pastels that don’t really move. One of the pluses of oil and soft pastels are their blendability.
Omg you come up with the most creative things I love and you did a videoabt one of my most favorite things to use in are posca pens I love it and you are just so talented and you help me to always believe in myself even if I think I can’t do it you motivate me to be able to do it so thank you so much for that and you really are just so talented and my fav video of yours is the one where you make rapping paper like color on it oh I just love those videos but your just so amazing I dot think I would be Wjere I am in art if it wasn’t for you and every time I do art I go and watch your videos so I can motivate myself
Love this swan - it looks so cute with those glasses :D and it was so fun watching you having fun with those pastels! Maybe the Neocolor II by Caran d'ache would be something you like? Those are wax Crayons but water soluble ones. I personally like them, they are fun and not too messy (only when you add water they can get a bit messy, but not more than watercolor or gouache) (Important, tzhe neocolor 1 are not water soluble, only version 2 are!)
I'm sooo amused by the duck/swan mix-up! 😂 You had "duck" on the mind when you started! 😅 I can relate! ❤ Mr. Swan looks absolutely precious!! 🦢 Thank you for brightening my day!! 🤗 I wondered if they blend with a pencil blender?? Might make a good short??
Amei sua pintura. Faz teste com lápis de cores de 100 cores da marca ( Faber - Castell ). E também os marcadores da marca ( OHUHU) com as cores pastéis ou coloridos. Com os lápis de cores deve usar uma Manivela para apontar bem as pontas dos lápis de cores.
3:37 is that lip that comes off the lid not for the purpose of attaching it to the other side when you are using the pastel so you don't lose the top? Like Crayola or Ohuhu markers?
The lid has grooves on the backside of it that hold the pastels each in place if that’s what you mean? Sorry they’re the only kind I have that you listed, hope that helps
These seem like Caran d' aches' Neocolour I's and I like that they appear to be a more affordable alternative to the Neocolour I's. Other wax pastels you can try: Caran D' ache Neocolour I Wax Pastels and Neocolour II Watersoluble Wax Pastels.
So so good. I feel you on the oil pastel mess and "smudgieness"! I think i may see if i can get some. Even in a sketchbook, they may not smudge or stick? @Mira, would you please test them in a sketchbook? x Nell.
Have you since seen the video going around of another "one legged goose" He most likely has both, but glad inspiration hit bc this was such a cute piece! I love the finished product
@@MiraByler I typed in "girl thinks goose has one leg" and it was the first one from two weeks ago. It was going around instagram, such funny creatures!
This looks really interesting. I have the full set of Posca Pencils and I really enjoy using them. And the good thing about Posca... you most likely get them open stock if you run out of a colour :) At least the pencils are available open stock cutebird
I know you like board games and have a new recommendation for you. It's Honey Buzz. My husband and I play games and it's a new favorite. Did you ever get to try Everdell?
2:10 It totally sounds like you said, "It has like a little bit of green to it." 😂 I was thinking "That looks black to me!" And finally I realized you were saying "grain". 😂😂
Left or right handed, we all smudge our drawings 😂 (but yes writing definitely is worse for lefty's) I've been doing a chalkboard from the thrift store up and giving it new life, I removed the board from the centre, so I could paint the frame around it. As a result, I've had my palette in the middle and OMG how many times does my hand accidentally drop down into that paint, when I'm really focused on painting a detail somewhere. 🤣 With pencils, I'm learning to go from one side to the other, just to help with it, but sometimes you just really want to start on a section that is shouting your name, and that means smudging later on. I'm always amazed by fantastic pastel and charcoal artists, especially, who have beautiful art and it doesn't look like they smudged it anywhere. I don't know how they do it. It's magic 😂
Geese sometimes just stand like this. Kinda like flamingos 😁 I was confused the first time I saw this. But I'm pretty sure this goose still had both legs :)
I don't know why they're called 'pastels', they don't look or feel like them, they're buttery smooth. I have 5 pencil ones from a mystery art box and they were amazing to work with.

The duck / swan is soo cutee... and the the bird had grt balance... wow
I was so impressed with its balance!!
@@MiraByler, it is natural for them to sometimes stand on one leg, tucking the other one to keep it warm. They sometimes sleep this way, too.
😂😂 Mira! The goose in the parking lot got me giggling so good.
The glasses on the duck 😍
It's been so rainy here. I needed this ray of sunshine of a video ❤ had me smiling the whole time❤
Aww makes me so happy to hear it brought some smiles your way! I hope you have a good weekend!
I have sensory issues too and I love the Caran d'Aches neopastel aquasolubles for the same reasons as you !
Thank you, Mira, for sharing your new discovery. I would never have thoughts to try. And now.......!

What a wonderful bird! The accessories suit him so well! have a nice weekend, Mira!
Glad you liked it! I hope you have a good weekend too!
First, can you please make some more of these videos try out different art supplies ❤❤
This is what I love about art supplies- there's literally so many different styles and ways a product can be made for artists. We can experiment and have fun with what works for us. Your Goose turned out cute! QUACK.
I wondered what they are like, so thank you for testing them!
I like all your videos, thank you!
You are such a wonderful soul 🫶
I’ve been curious about these, so it was fun seeing you try them out 😄 love your fun animals with clothes, they always make me smile 💖
OMG, the glasses !! Awesome job. Thanks, as i had no idea Posca had pastels. ❤
My favourite coloured pencils are poscas. They came in the same weird tray case so I rehomed them into a pencil case.
If I liked pastels I'd be very tempted by these.
I love the duck, the shading is fabulous! Plus there's just something about a bird with a bow tie.
Cute birb! Loved the video as always! Really want to test this product out now and the artx paint markers!❤
Mira, I love watching you creating artwork. You make it look so easy and fun. I think I want to try these pastels.
Mira that was super cool! 🎉 I would love to see more of this in future videos! 😊
Hi Mira. Love the cute drawing you did. How do these compare with Neocolours?
Glad you liked it! I honestly don't know since I've never tried Neocolours!
How fun. Thank you for sharing your ideas.😊❤
Been dieing to try all posca pencil sets the "reg" set the pastel set and the watercolor set❤😊
Hi I love your videos I look up to you! ❤ can you do a doodle day video?
Cutebirb!! I have wayyyy too many art supplies to justify buying more but these look so lovely and creamy!
⭐️ Winner!!
That is one super cute cutebirb! 😊❤ Love these kinds of videos. Thanks for everything Mira!
⭐️ Glad you liked it!! I hope you have an amazing weekend!
It took a few backtrack/pauses, but oh, what a CUTEBIRD! You give viewers the permission to have fun...so important. Thank you!

Especially because they are wax based and non smearing. And what a CUTEBIRD you drew! I love him. The border really added the perfect touch.
That one legged goose is my new inspo for training my ankles and balance 😂
Haha, I like it!!
Another wax pastel to look into is the Caran d'Ache Neocolor I. I have both, the Posca and the Necolor I, and they feel very similar. The Neocolor I have 40 colors in the range, plus 10 metallics, so they're good for filling out the Posca color range.
Your border and your squiggles make it look like a postage stamp, I love it! And it's nice to have an affordable (and larger) option to Neo Colors.
Ha!! It totally does!! 😱😁 Everyone is mentioning Neo Colors and I need to check them out! Never heard of them! Thanks for sharing!
I am so happy I found your channel earlier today. I didn't think I'd ever want to try pastels, other than chalk pastels for backgrounds. Thank you so much for sharing this test. These are now on my list to get.

It’s a rainy day where I am also! You’re keeping me company at work for a artistic mental moment 🖼️
The swan is so adorable! I'll have to look into getting some of those posca pastels they look like they're amazing for layering.
I ❤ Posca Color Pencils (I’m a similar storage container that I also like), however, I can’t wrap my head around pastels that don’t really move. One of the pluses of oil and soft pastels are their blendability.
I've been so curious about these! Thanks for covering them! Cutebirb!
Turned out so cute 😍 Would love to see you try Caran d’Ache neocolor 2!!
What a cutebirb! I so wish I could have that as a postage stamp
Posca pastel color so cool to draw pictures with them
Geese stand like that with one leg tucked, he didn’t only have one it wasn’t missing hahaha he had both! So adorable nonetheless.
Yay a new video. You are my inspiration. Love to see you ❤❤
If you like these, you'll love the Neocolor I pastels, which are a big step up. Love the duck piece ❤
Thank you! Such a helpful, interesting, and satisfying video!
Glad to hear you liked it!
Ooh. Wax pastels?? I've tried oil and chalk/soft pastels..this is new to me, I'm excited to watch!
Its been raining here in Maine too, love you so much mira
I love messy art but these pastels look great! Very vibrant too!
I love the duck swan! I know what you mean about pastels. I have the whole “mixed media” pastels from KINGART, and I’m still on the fence about them.
Cutebirb!
He looks awesome. I thought it was nice at first but then when you added the glasses and borders I fell in love with him! 😂
Sometimes ducks stand on one leg to keep warm and looks like it’s missing a leg. ❤
Loved the duck painting ❤️ especially with the glasses 🤓
You should definitely try the caran dache neocolor 2 pastels. It’s basically a water soluble version of this.
Omg you come up with the most creative things I love and you did a videoabt one of my most favorite things to use in are posca pens I love it and you are just so talented and you help me to always believe in myself even if I think I can’t do it you motivate me to be able to do it so thank you so much for that and you really are just so talented and my fav video of yours is the one where you make rapping paper like color on it oh I just love those videos but your just so amazing I dot think I would be Wjere I am in art if it wasn’t for you and every time I do art I go and watch your videos so I can motivate myself
cutebirb! I love that they don't transfer on to your skin! That's why I hate chalk, pastels and graphite, especially being left handed.
Love this swan - it looks so cute with those glasses :D and it was so fun watching you having fun with those pastels!
Maybe the Neocolor II by Caran d'ache would be something you like? Those are wax Crayons but water soluble ones. I personally like them, they are fun and not too messy (only when you add water they can get a bit messy, but not more than watercolor or gouache) (Important, tzhe neocolor 1 are not water soluble, only version 2 are!)
I had no idea these were different than other pastel pencils. Now I REALLY want to try them, to try something completely different from other pastels!
Love this super cutebirb!
Yes, please, do more with them.
Thanks for the review Mira, do you think they may be suitable for layering them on top of an oil pastel painting, for fine details? Thanks
I'm sooo amused by the duck/swan mix-up! 😂 You had "duck" on the mind when you started! 😅 I can relate! ❤ Mr. Swan looks absolutely precious!! 🦢 Thank you for brightening my day!! 🤗 I wondered if they blend with a pencil blender?? Might make a good short??
Heat your substrate a little and they can be applied with more layers if you want to go superpigmented.
What a cute birb!
I love that these pastels don't seem very messy 🥰
The pastels I’ve tried were chalky and hard to use. Those look fun and vibrant ❤
They were so fun and vibrant! Definitely the most unique pastels I've ever used.
Cutebirb😆🦢BTW love the final peice:)
SUCH A CUTEBIRB!!!!!

The lid has grooves on the backside of it that hold the pastels each in place if that’s what you mean? Sorry they’re the only kind I have that you listed, hope that helps
are they really pastels if hey dont leave a mess everywhere??😝
have their coloured pencils and I was surprised at how good they are🙂
Wax pastels are crayons.
Love it! 😍😍😍
Thank you!! 😊

Pastels are my mortal enemy, but these look fun! Love the art ❤
Completely off topic but I love your nail color!!
Oh thank you!

love it 🦆
Cutebirb!! ❤
I just ordered them from Amazon ~ they are 37% off right now!
Wow such a cute swan ! So sad for that goose with one leg 😢
🤓 ❤ the little glasses man. He needs a name. 🤔
Cute bird!!!
That is a CUTEBIRB!
Geese sometimes just stand like this. Kinda like flamingos 😁
I was confused the first time I saw this. But I'm pretty sure this goose still had both legs :)
Cute bird!
It looks like it could be a stamp. ❤
Have and love those, didn't care for the case.
Agree!!! Wish they had a better case design.
I important question I have
Do they make your hands dirty?
That's a great question! No, they didn't make my hands dirty! It was amazing!
cutebirb I love birds they are so funny
Cutebirb!!!
I don't know why they're called 'pastels', they don't look or feel like them, they're buttery smooth. I have 5 pencil ones from a mystery art box and they were amazing to work with.
