Hi, I'm Mira Byler, and I love creating art videos for your enjoyment. If you're looking for inspiration, ways to fill your sketchbook, sketch with me sessions, and more... you're in the right place! I will show you how to draw in fun and goofy ways. Sometimes I even test weird art supplies and roll with whatever happens! I hope you feel welcome here in my little art family! :) - Розваги
I love going through old sketchbooks. its fun and revealing at the same time. (teenage angst...haha)

WAFFLES

Ivy Lily Creative Ikr
I do that too. I cross out a picture I think is ugly and write "ew" next to it. xD
Twinnies!
ThatArtsyGirl :3
Ikr xD
Thought i was the only one who did this 😂
I thought I was the only one! 😂
I watched this on my phone in bed and my cat came and watched it with me, he really loved all of the punky people and would take over my phone and scratch me if I tried to take it away, true story, he also loved the abstract stuff, so, compliments from Oliver the cat 🐱
😂😂😂
Aww☺️💖😍🐱
My cat is named oliver🐈
awww
😍☺️🐱
This was actually really hard for me to watch XD I've been drawing a lot since the 4th grade and grew up being told I was good. But looking at what I can do know (in the 9th grade) its no where near what you were doing. I can't draw realistic in the slightest, and my characters are out of proportion and weird, basically equal to my 7th grade drawings. Its really stressful when you watch everyone around you improve while your stuck in the gutter.
I don't practice much because i'm bad and i'm bad because I don't practice. :/
OMG it happened to me too! it's really annoying and when they say it's amazing, great, etc. I point out the mistakes and they say it's still amazing like ummm..... -.-
+corgicute That happpend to me too.I was the best artist in my class until 6th grade when this new girl came along and was really good and made fun of my art which made me quit but I decided to start again later on and not show anyone because I didn't want the same thing to happen again :/
StudioA. Productions you shouldn't have let that girl make a effect on your drawing be proud don't let anyone else's thoughts get in your way if you see her again one time tell her that it doesn't matter how good you are creativity is what counts after that start showing your drawings to people again
+popcorn Warrior yeah I know that now but everyone told me that I was an amazing artist until she came and it made me freak out because she was beyond my level. I just started art again recently and I have improved since then. I just don't let many people see my art.
There will probably always be someone better than you. You can look up at them for inspiration, but your goal is not to be better than them. Your goal is to be better than yourself, and improve your own skills. Eventually, you might even become the best
Is it just me or do you watch sketchbook tours to get you inspired after watching it
All. The. Time.
LOL I thought I just did it!!! I'm not the only one
Heyitz Anii wow you do it too??...COOL I DO TOO
15:45 "She's got like a 5 head or a 6 head, not really a 4head.." XD hahah
+FashionforEver99 yea i saw that firs time my reaction: wut...
second time:wow. just wow
+FashionforEver99 sounds like brendon urie's forehead
+Kitty!AtTheDisco xD yess omg
look up jscott Campbell disney
+FashionforEver99 When she first says 5 head and 6 head your like what are u talking about? and then she says not a "four" head and your like OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAHAHAHAAHAHAH
oh my gosh. You were being so critical of your drawings and I'm like amazed how good some of them were and how fast you improved!!! like holy cow!!!
wow,so many books! i have such a hard time filling mine out. I get periods where I just dont want to draw at all and then one day, I'll spend hours making this one piece. I wish I had more motivation to draw
***** It is definitely hard to fill up sketch books. I struggle with that too. I'm sure the pieces you pour hours into are absolutely amazing!! :)
ThatArtsyGirl thank you, your art is wonderful by the way.
ThatArtsyGirll wow i draw something almost every day..
I am currently in my stress mode...
A huge big fat scary competition with music (basically memorizing pieces)
2 STAAR tests
Final Exams
You can see that I have absolutely no time to draw. All of these tests are to be done in less than a week. But after this huge mess I THINK ILL BE ABLE TO FLY LOL XD
***** same thing with me. In my grade there are 5-6 other artists including me. We all have our own sketchbooks given by our art teacher. Ive noticed that even tho i was the first one to get the sketchbook out of everyone else, i have the least amount of drawing. But ive also noticed that every time i draw something new it is much better. I guess you can say that for me, i dont draw a new art work until ive fully understood what i want to change about my art work and how i can improve. Its been i would say 2 months since i last drawn on my sketch book until today when i decided to take my time and draw. I think that it is totally okay for you to do that and don't worry about not feeling motivated at times. It doesnt matter how often you draw, all that matters is that you are passionate about what you do and you enjoy it
we had to do the texture on a hand thing to lol
It just shows, from the very first drawings in those books to the final pieces, that if you keep to it, you'll improve. These are great drawings and they inspire me to keep practicing, I'm 13 and not 'GREAT', but I find it a lot of fun :)
+Ava and Alice Very wise words! If you find it fun, then that's what truly matters! You will improve each time you do art! Sending joy your way!
Same, but I'm 12, and I draw anime. :P
+Mriaz ShahbazI'm thirteen tomorrow, and I really enjoy drawing anime too!
+Dark Star (TheDarkUmbreon) happy birthday! :P hope you enjoy your birthday!
thanks :P
I think you should make a video where u re draw your favorite drawing in ur old sketch books
+Ikoris Alfa Good idea!
this is physical proof that practice makes perfect, showing if you try you can get to there. also, your sketchbooks are rad.
I always find these videos both uplifting and worrying. It's nice to know that even the best artists started somewhere, but also knowing that if I wasn't as good as you in eighth grade, where I am now, do I even have a chance of being as good as you when I get older? I don't know. I'm just going to keep practicing and see where I end up.
You do have a chance! Aww. I'm so sorry this worried you. My intent was to be encouraging, but I can understand why you would feel that way. Everyone starts in different places, but from there we all branch out with our own styles. No style is better than the other, in my opinion. Don't measure your abilities based on someone else. Your talent and skills never end. You always have potential. It's up to you to pursue it and practice. :) and from the sounds of it, you are an amazing artist because you already have to desire to keep working at it. That makes me so proud of you. It really does. Sending love your way! ^_^
Thanks, your comment really made me smile! I'll be sure to take your advice! :)
Polarian Cyanide imma second your opinion
i wish i had my old drawings from childhood
you should redraw some of your old art to compare and see how much you've improved!!
happy to see all of your sketch :D in the past especially
so enjoy
I'm a junior in high school. This made me want to look at my old sketchbooks, so I did, and they were so bad xD
It's nice seeing how I've improved, though.
I forgot to add that your art is really nice :O
Leik do how u do it??? ??
Isn't it cool seeing how much you improve? It's such a happy feeling, because you can look back at your art now in a few years and think the same thing. :D And thanks! I just practice a lot haha.
The chair reminded me of that Van Gogh painting of the bedroom. Your art was messy because you were inexperienced, but the talent and creativity was obvious. :3
+themelonsoup aw, thanks! I just saw that painting in France at Musee D'Orsay!!! How funny that you brought it up.
I didn't plan to watch the whole thing, I swear! But it was really difficult to stop watching because it was super cool being able to see the improvement! Huge inspiration! Lots of love from England :) x
I love your crafts !
Thank you! :)
Clarabella Thanks. That means a lot coming from you! I like your polymer clay sculptures, by the way. They're adorable. =3
You're welcome! And thank you so much!
I just subcribed to you , your videos are amazing ! 😍 And dont ever stop making videos , your gonna go big on day and il be there for you the whole journey , gpod luck and have a great everyday 😘
You should do a draw this again :D it's when you find your favorite art piece from a while back and draw it again and you can see how much your style has changed and how much you improved.
That would be fun. HMMMM now to think of which one I'd like to draw again.... :D
all of your sketches are way better than mine
I love your work
Yeah her old sketches are better than mine right now lol
:D lol
KatieTriggersEveryone it's been a year have you improved? lol
I don't find going through old art work to be embarrassing. It's actually a reminder of how far I have come with nurturing my talent with art. Some of the people who I post videos showing off their art work never do what you did here. By showing your old stuff it can be an inspiration to people just getting into art and can boost their confidence that they may get better by keep practicing. When I first started drawing and painting my work was "okay". Then I stopped drawing for years. Got back into art about 6 years ago after an old roommate, who was an amazing artist, inspired me to get back into my creative zone. I got back into it and I was still just "okay" but I kept at it and went from "okay" to decent to good to great to awesome and now I am working my way to breath taking.
Also, to any other new artists out there. Never feel discouraged if someone does not like your art based on it's style/theme/genre. I draw weird stuff, stuff of science fiction and fantasy and horror as well as realistic stuff, but I had someone judge my work as not being "as good as it could be" because it was not their style. This person only did paintings and drawings or stuff like animals or boats or civil war concepts, he was good, but if I were to judge him it would be for the lack of imagination and diversity, but I did not judge because everyone has their own style.
You're really talented, never stop drawing!
it was good you could see where it evolved. i can only draw if im looking at a reference.
Same. It's called my brain.
You're over here with really colorful pictures, and I'm just over here like, "How do I use a colored pencil? ;-;" I can't do color, idky XD
Same! Coloring in my drawings are so hard and for some reason I'm desperate for copics xD
SAME
All of your sketch's are GORGEOUS! No need to criticize yourself. Your SOOO lucky that you can draw like that.
It's practise not luck😂
Thanks for sharing this video with us. I'm 23 and just beginning with art, so I envy your years of background experience a bit. Even so, I feel better after seeing other beginner images!
Not gonna lie, begining sketches were kind of rough. BUT- you're art got so much better! It is absolutely beautiful now. I loved seeing how you grew in art. I hope people don't just give up on art because, let's face it, we all suck when we first start out. But practice, practice, practice and you're art will be breath taking! So don't make fun of people who aren't good. They're just begining their journey :3
Sarah L Exactly! I love watching progress. I think it's okay to joke about your own art, as long as you acknowledge that practicing makes things better, and not to be too seriously harsh to the point in which it becomes a hindrance. But there is no bad artist out there. :) Thank you for stopping by my channel and watching!
ThatArtsyGirl Totally!!! :D good to know that someone gets it lol. Enjoyed the video,so no prob! X3
You are so endearing. I really enjoyed watching you go through your sketchbooks. I am glad I subscribed.
Exactly
Me too
This was such a vulnerable moment! You are so inspirational with your attitude, encouragement and talent.
I absolutely love this video. It was so fun to watch you grow as an artist and gosh the nostalgia it made me feel about art in general. I'm so sad that I don't have any of my old art to look back at, but this is the next best thing!!
I love this video.
Monique Renee I would love to be your art friend! :)
Yaaaas
(Warning my comment is nonsense)
Your name is a combination of my bestfriends' name Monique and Renee :D
you said "im probably at the bottom of the chart " I was like I cant even draw a god damn circle well I just postsed this on youtube fml im gonna get cyber bullied
+thesuperdriver that is to young to drive this video is really old haha. I am sure you draw wonderfully!! We are all on our art journey together, so people have to be nice to you. :)
i cant even draw a circle XD
Mira Byler I love your channel! Thanks!
Aww shes adorable xD personality 10/10
OMG, I think,you're 10,000x better than I am.....so I have to practice more. xD
Please keep drawing and painting. You have the talent.
i only hope as i get older, i become as great an artist as you.
You gave me hope ! I sholud practise more ! :) thx
+Norma Jane Wooooo! YES!
Truly it is a special time in your life. Seeing all these drawings, some of which I remember watching you make, brings a smile to my face. I remember doing some of these projects myself as well XD
It's really nice to see hard work and dedication pay off! I can't tell you how many times I wanted to give up because my art wasn't as good as everyone else's when I was young. But you clearly spent a lot of time sketching everything around you, and experimenting with different styles, and now your work is unrecognizable! It's really inspiring, please keep going!!! You never know what you'll be doing in a few years' time!!
Jessica Kelley Thanks. That was really encouraging! Bust out that sketchbook and let your inspiration fly. :)
hey ! idk if u respond to old video comments but back in 6th grade did u have a teacher named mrs.powers? she did the smell texture thung
Nope! I had a different teacher :)
dill pickles.
pickles .a
I throw away my art. It is a bad habit.
+Mary Smith it's okay! I think we all go through phases were we cross out our art or throw it away. I'm sure you are an amazing artist anyway. :)
Yeah you shouldn't try to be perfect from throwing away bad drawings. All artists fail. You must learn from your mistakes.
so humble! nice to see a humble person in this greedy, self absorbed world.
Mary Smith you are perfekt ❤️
It's amazing to observe how many mistakes and flaws that we artists make in our early years. Ohh dear... your video made me crack up so many times :'D!! Thank you for your inspiration, it was really nice to see how your art practise has evolved. Well done :)
I love this, seeing where some people start can help people let go enough to actually try and start where they are. It's really encouraging.
My brother is an artist too. He works for American Greetings. Head of the comic/funny cards. He's so talented as you are. ME? I can't draw a stick figure!! ugh....
Kathy Germack For American Greetings? That's so cool! I bet he really enjoys his job!
well, I'm in 8th grade and i went to my closet and took out my 6th grade sketchbook and I just got horrified! !!! I dont know what the hell I was thinking!?
I love your voice it's relaxing/soothing. & you got sooo much better & every artist will. You pretty much just gradually drift/gravitate differently all the time through out the years.
Oh my god she did not just say she was not good, haven’t even watched this video but I love you Mira! I’ve been on here for around three years now and you are by far my FAVORITE art UA-camr no question! I love your energy, your personality, and just everything about you and your art 🙃
"Hey guys! Want some nutter butters?" 😂
Lol I read this comment exactly when she said it!
you should go back and redraw some of your old pictures
I'm so glad I came across one of your older videos! You have improved your style so much! You are very inspiring and my favorite thing about you is your enthusiasm. Ilysm💗💗💗
I think you are better than most artists because you are not afraid to show real stuff like mistakes or achievable artwork I really appreciate that as a beginner
I am very new this is the first video I've seen by you,... SUBSCRIBED👍🏻
Yay! 💜
Same here!!
+Tamine Byrne same!!
+Tamine Byrne Same!
That texture hand thing you did that I saw at 5:04... My art class did the same exact thing in 6th grade :o
My art teacher made us do it during Sophomore year lol
You have a great personality! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE THIS! Your talent really showed through this sketchbook, and you improved with almost every picture. I'm so glad to be a subscriber!
Your words just made me smile! Thanks so much! I'm really happy to welcome you to the art family! :)
Love the early stuff: the chair, koala, zebra, beach, the "Ew" girl, Orlando Bloom!!! So crazy to see the old in contrast to the newer works. You're an amazing inspiration and I enjoy your videos so much, girlie! :)
ChDingDux Haha, thank you! :)
Wow, amazing. I can't wait to watch the next video
Thanks. I always appreciate your support :)
"That's my friend saidy" 😂😂
It's always good to see progress in drawings/painting. I know how it feels when you think it's really good but then when you look back your just like 'did I really do that'
This is so fun X3 It's always cool to see how ones perception changes over time. Thanks for sharing!! :D
Video starts at 2:28
Thx
Don't be rude
+Emina Kozljak what do you mean se just says when te vid starts!
+Emina Kozljak that's not being rude. if you don't want to listen to the intro then this would be very helpful.
2:45
a lot of people tell me I'm like really good at drawing
well
I'm not
I like drawing when I'm bored
it's something I do on the fly
but I never took a art class or anything like that
and you can definitely see that in the stuff I create
right now a have A6 book that I carry around
and every time I draw in it I upload on deviantart.com
a few people like what I do
but I just like the feeling of having my stuff out there instead of in a drawer catching dust
I really loved this. this was awesome and I appreciate you sharing your "awkward" past sketchbooks. lol really cool.
This was so much fun to watch, and it definitely restored my hope in getting better at my own art (I'm finishing up my freshman year of college and that last sketchbook you showed was so amazing to me
Hi I'm only 11 and I love art ! I pretty much a self taught "artist" I'm pretty sure I'm at the bottom of the chain !
+Chloe Welborn same lol im about to turn twelve and i still suck at drawing D:
+Shelby Jean I suck too
your not alone I'm 13 and in the same boat
Guys don't worry about your talent you're way too young!! Just experiment and have fun. Take tips be crazy and do what you wish. And please keep your art. I wish more people would've told me that but yeah. You guys have years to come and I know you're gonna do great! Good luck.:)
When someone says that their art is not good, well do you want to see mine?? In art class i had to get my mum to draw my homework for me cuz i didnt want my teacher to think i was really bad at it becasue i actually love art, but the styles of art we do in class arent my style. Btw your art is amazing xx
Oh tell me bout it . And I love ur drawing
I like seeing where people started and how they progressed through the years, it's really inspiring. Great Video!
You know what's awkwardly embarrassing?
My self esteem after watching this video.
U just earned a new subscriber
U r really talented!
+Princess Niya Moon, Princess Luna's daughter Aww, thanks! :D
+ThatArtsyGirl Me too :D
You're the best droller I ever seen
Heh.. Do your mean drawer? Err, Artist?
+Angie Panda o.o yep
+Nicole Kirkland X3
+Malaya Kirkland droller??
***** Actually, since you're putting your two cents in, 'drawer' isn't the correct term either.
Love your work! You can see how you have progressed and you have real talent. I've only just really started getting serious about my illustration and putting it out on social media, but being encouraged to draw and paint everyday means seeing a huge improvement when you look back and you can clearly do that too :) thanks for sharing! xx
Your confidence and communication skills have improved SO much since this video! I'm proud of you :) Thank you for sharing your HS books. It's certainly a vulnerable and scary thing to overcome.
you think these drawings are awkward? they're awesome compared to my old drawings :P
These are amazing why are you embarrassed
I love to see how you have improved, it's so cool to see how your style and interests have changed!
this was amazing I love that you went back far enough to show how much you improved over time. I'm only in 10th grade and I already regret tossing out nearly all my drawing from 8th grade and below
*so apparently I set a bunch of ducks of fire so, ok cool.* LOL A completely normal thing to say... XD .
I used to draw ALL of my faces with THREE EYELASHES
Spongeebob
+Llama Hatss tru 😂
I'm pretty sure the majority of us drew characters with three eyelashes.
Very inspireing!!! Thanks for posting them.
This gives me alot of hope lol. I couldn't even draw a stick figure for my life, but i've been practicing and i'm really starting to love drawing. It has helped me out so much with my anxiety no wonder you love drawing!
This was exactly 1 year ago
you keep critisizing (
I love how down-to-earth you are about your work.
The picture of a head as a flower was good but hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing! But your such a good artist your my idol
What is she talking about she so good at art even in he old sketch books ps love Ur vids
your amazing I draw manga style and I draw anime. but u draw like my aunt, your art is more realistic
That hand holding the glass of lemonade tho😂 but dang that koala was cute☺️💖 ur so amazing
I love seeing artists succeed in their dreams it inspires me a ton 😁
my drawing style is landscapes and anime but i love to use water color penicals but i am only in middle school.
^
Yes i know i spelled that wrong
Pencils? And same, I think I'm pretty good at drawing anime but I can't do landscapes at all
yeah water color pencils you color normal then you go over with water can blend.
+Animal lover yeah I have some really nice prisma colors I use them all the time ;D
lucky
Its not anime it's manga,not trying to make you angry.
my art teacher said you can NEVER mess up
=^-^=
+Megan Brunia Your art teacher says smart things - it's true! :D
I love your openness. Also where your art is now compared to those sketches is inspiring. Thanks from Tucson.
i love watching videos like this it really helps me find my style in drawing!!!
wow you are great now I have thoughts to keep in mind that I should keep my sketchbooks for a look back from what I used to do. you are one of the best drawers I've ever seen.
even from the beginning of your artbooks i seen potential sure a few were a little rough but the way you didnt always need a reference inspires me and the artbooks near the end are pure talent i know this video was from months ago but i really want to see how your art progress grows your an amzing, talented artist ♥
amazing growth...your a great artist don't sell yourself short. everyone has a different style, so do you, and yours is amazing.
I'm super thoroughly impressed. In year eight you were a better artist than I am currently, after years of school art not working out, etc. I mostly just draw on a whim now, but 'real' things like hands and faces eldude me and your work is really impressive :)
You have improved each year, that gets me motivated
Beautiful! I really enjoyed watching this video! Love your art work and I loved watching your progress. It left me with hope, patience, and the determination to continue to draw/paint. Thank you :D
Kute Kake Thank you too! I'm so happy that you were able to feel inspired after watching this! :)
I love your personality! Your old work was fantastic for your age at the time!!
This is so nostalgic for me! I love this video and i wish i had kept my old books to look back on
