    5:40 the lighting/shadows - GORGEOUS!!! Seriously impressive. And I couldn't agree more on how hard it is to make stuff like this in a video, it's impossible to do every week. I think a lot of people forget that it's not fair to compare an artist on UA-cam who spends a few hours on a piece to a gallery artist who spends months. We'd be capable of more with more time

      Chloe, your art is amazing but it would be cool if you took the time to really make something you really truly love, it’s fine if you want to take a break to do it.

    Yeah Mira , you always inspire me to make some art . I'm in middle school and when you were talking about how to keep pushing forward and accepting art block and bad art , it made me really happy and think about all the bad art I've made and I've wanted to throw away . This video inspired me to to make some 3d pencil sketch art . I enjoy all of your videos and you're always in such a happy and jolly mood that it picks me up sometimes . I'm looking forward o seeing that " painting on a giant canvas " video and some more vlogs !

    This brings back so many of my own memories! Not only was I angsty as a teenager, I was weird as well. In 8th grade we had a fun assignment to "create our own dinosaur." I created a Human-osaurus, a brontosaurus with human features. I used the apricot colored crayon for the body, human hands and feet on dinosaur arms, and weirdest of all: a human face but with no ears or hair. That means no eyebrows and a hole for the ear. I named my dinosaur Shelby for some reason. I still have the sketchbook this drawing is in, as well as all my high school sketchbooks. I want to go look at them now.
    Thanks for making such a great video!

    I've a tip for anyone who paints, draws... scan your work using a scanner or free phone app as a jpeg then save it to cloud storage, I recommend setting up a Google email just for the free storage that comes with it as either Google photo or Google drive. by doing this you will always have a backup of your creations, just in case of accidental damage

    The beauty of art- especially plein air type painting- is how in-the-moment and focused it keeps us. Good or bad (and your art is lovely!) is how it can take us back to that moment and those feelings we had, like your self-portraits. I love that!

    Cute artwork, I loved it! I understand not liking your old drawings. I used to save all of my old art, but before I moved to Québec, I was cleaning out my storage unit in the US and I'm pretty sure I tossed all my old artwork. I was just thinking I would never need it for anything. This is before I started UA-cam and I couldn't have imagined that I would start an art and crafting UA-cam channel and actually care about art. But here I am... haha

I have had relatives throw away my artworks "helping" my Mom clean things out and trashed my folders as useless paper! you are very lucky to have anything from your younger years!

  • @scraggledy
    @scraggledy 3 роки тому

    Thank you for sharing all of this, Mira. The thing you said about not being where you want to with your art was just what I needed to hear right now. I'm in my late 30s and finally made art a big part of my life again in the past few years. In HS I didn't have space in my schedule for art, and college... well, I studied Bioscience (small STEM focused university and pre-pharm), so even less time for any art at all. My health has declined and I have lost my mobility and ability to work full-time, and favorite activities, but art has come back in to fill that space. It has been so therapeutic and fun. I take as many workshops as I can.
    Again, thank you. You may not see this, but if you do, I sincerely thank you. I could use a mentor like you.

    @sonijam 3 роки тому

    So many art channels have a video where they're like "OMG, look at this old drawing/painting/etc of mine! I was so terrible!" - and it's usually really good. I think they only show the BEST of their beginning artwork because they're insecure about their true armature beginnings. I for one find it very inspiring to see that a professional artist was once as bad as me!

  • @victoriavelazquez9461

    I still have some of my old art pieces or photographs of them. Some of my stuff I left at home which, sadly, were thrown away.

    I can totally relate to the flooded basement thing. I lost a lot of precious memories and a few precious keepsakes to what I referred to as our underground swimming pool. It broke my heart, but life did go on. And yes, it really wS deep enough to swim in if it weren't full of stuff and very cold.
    I also gotta say I love that last self portrait you held up at the end of the video, the one in the blue tank top. I don't know why, but I just find it very interesting, the colors, the pose, the all of it. Haha I really do like it..... a lot. Thank you for sharing with us.💜&✌

    Omg I had the same photo of Orlando Bloom printed out and I also sketched it! I wonder if I can find it now 🤔
    Love seeing the old art. I need to find all of mine. I know a lot got left at my high school.
