I’m literally the only one who doesn’t have the problem. I only have like one or two extra but those ones don’t have good paper to draw but besides that every like 2 months I’m always begging my mom to get me a sketchbook
OK Art I swear! And for me it's like I'll start a new sketchbook and be excited and for a couple days I'll draw and draw and fill like 20 pages. But then I won't touch it again for like a month... 😫😂
Your video always brings a 😊 to my face before I even realize it. Like it when u say, "Art is supposed to be fun isn't it?" and "Your art is your expression."
One of my fav. ways to fill/get inspo is by practicing one stroke, line weight, gradients, color blocks, etc. Stuff that even the most advanced artist should go back to from time to time and then grow from there or color curate all the stokes. I'll take a pointed round brush and just do a page of one stroke leaves or petals in varying gouache colors or direction. It's really relaxing, fills space, can be used as backgrounds, and looks neat when it's done. It can feel wasteful if I like the paper a lot though so I tend to keep that to my bigger/cheaper sketchbooks.
I have that square sketchbook and the paper is bounded in the way to where the front of the paper is sometimes on the backside of the binding so you basically need to find the texture of each page to know which side is the front.
Great ideas! I never go anywhere without my sketchbook. I never know when I might be inspired to draw something.. I've been filling my sketchbook with zen doodles of late. It's a great way for me to kill time at a doctor's office. 🙂
I started watching your videos on the 19 March 2020 But since then I love you so much I have been watching you every single day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🧡❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I fill them fine! More tips are inspiring tho. Here are some ideas; do animal anatomy studies, have separate sketchbooks for different works, do more finished pieces and very rough ones in the same book if you want, gesture studies, anatomy studies, plant studies, do life studies outdoors, do colour pallets and label for use later, designs/patterns, try art experiments with new techniques and mixed media combinations, and bring small toys or reference books to draw from as well. I bought a bigger purse to fit more travel art supplies in! Hope your health improves. Have fun everyone! Great video.
First, wish a speedy recovery for you. I really love this video. And love the doodles you did. I might try some of these just need to push myself to be not scared to try. I just started and having a full-time office job is not helping either time wise. My inner self keep telling me to give up since my younger years, but finally push myself to pick things up. I really appreciate art RUclipsr like you and others that keeps me motivated to keep trying. Thank you!
I use my sketchbook for gratitude journaling and prayer, as well as drawing. I also like to cut pics out of magazines and catalogs and tape them around my sketchbook then over time I will use them as an instant reference for a sketch when I want to practice. I use a variety of images so it gives me practice drawing things I wouldn’t normally think to do. Also, I like to make lists, strategize, plan and scrapbook. I will tape in tickets, ads etc. of activities I’ve done. My sketchbook keeps me grounded and is totally mine. I scribble when I want. I use it to learn new techniques.. Since I do all this stuff in it, I now like a big one. Usually about 9 x 12.
ahh this was so nice! i appreciate your take on art and creativity :) i personally like doing a mix of doodles/loose stuff and making more effort in my sketchbooks, that works well for me. for me a lot of the point is to keep momentum, so i set the bar low for that reason, to sort of chill and have fun with it. one thing i do that fills pages, if anyone is interested, is this project i have to draw 100 full body figures. i chose that subject to practice anatomy and poses but it can be 100 anything! i spend maybe 10 minutes on each of these, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. you could finish a project like this in just over a month if you do three every day but i'm taking it slow and without pressure. it does mean that i always have something lined up to draw, though! i keep a pinterest board with poses to reference, and a list of how many i've done in the back of my sketchbook to keep track. it's very satisfying to note down when i've done another sketch; makes it very tangible that i'm practicing and developing.
In my sketchbook I enjoy to draw myself in my own style once a month and every month do it over and over again and see how my drawings have changed and gotten better over time, you can do this for other people also.
Mira you are so pretty i love your turquoise eyes and you are so talented!! You are amazing at drawing, painting, and lots of art also! You deserve a billion subscribers! Love, One of your biggest fans
Lol that intro is literally my life. I buy so many writing and sketch books because they look pretty and I can't resist even though I know I'll never finish or even start half of them... 🤦🤦🤦😂 Really good video btw 😆
I love the way that you explain things sort of and you say how it inspires you and the different places you could go and what you can do. And it actually is great that its my sketchbook and i do what i want and no body judges me. I really like this video
So loved your video and it spoke into the person that I am. I too love collecting sketchbooks and have a hard time filling them. I love all of your ideas! So great. I will definitely start implementing those.
As an addition to your last suggestion, you could also do a random pick of supplies in your bag or just generally switch it up ... I have the curse of too many Crayola supplies so I try to cure that by changing things out every week, but if you did it you wouldn't have to do it how I do it.
this and your sketchbook tour video inspired me to make a summer sketchbook and fill it up over the summer, and not worry about whether it's good or not. so thanks :)
some other ideas: - draw pictures from instagram or snapchat or internet - draw something you will never draw - draw things around you - make a photo and try to draw it
an idea i currently have but i'm still trying to turn into like a piece is water waves turning into sound waves that flow into a headset's cables and someone's listening to them and slowly having water accents in their features. like waves for hair and all that. as if the sound of water is turning them into water too! idk i just randomly have that idea and really want to draw it
Anwar Amin I think that’s a really cool idea. I had a similar random idea with like an IV line and heart beat monitor and sound waves, plus heart beat and use that, kinda like music is my life force kinda thing.
Cảm giác như mk đang đc nghe 1 bản nhạc chữa lành vậy đó. Giọng hát của đp rất đặc biệt, nhẹ nhàng tình cảm. Xem video thôi đã hay ntn r, ghen tị vs ekip qaa nghe hát live chắc hay gấp 💯lần lunn
What I will sometimes do is I will read a book or watch a show or video on RUclips, and make a character from it or based off of it. It just gives a little more of a path way to your art.
I could do the opposite color challenge. Say u were going to use green.NOPE. you use purple. For the fellow artists who know opposite colors this would be a good idea!!
Mira! Could you please do some how tos that are more like tutorials. I’m especially interested in copics, like perhaps how to do some botanicals with copics. I don’t even really know where to start.
This video is perfect... I also have the addiction of collecting sketchbooks I don't use. Don't all artists haha.
Yes!! I have so many but I can't use them consistently. I need to stop!
*proceeds to Micheal's to buy more*
SAME and my family willl be like uve arready got one😥😥😥
I can relate
Im a crafter and i can relate too 😂🤷🏾♀️
I’m literally the only one who doesn’t have the problem. I only have like one or two extra but those ones don’t have good paper to draw but besides that every like 2 months I’m always begging my mom to get me a sketchbook
Not being able to fill a sketchbook is a curse all artists have 😂😭
OK Art I swear! And for me it's like I'll start a new sketchbook and be excited and for a couple days I'll draw and draw and fill like 20 pages. But then I won't touch it again for like a month... 😫😂
My problem is that i finish them to fast 😂😂😂
Same here😂😂
I know right
I agree
I always tape things in like tickets for events or wristbands and stuff and theme a sketchbook page around it.
Makayla Douglas cool !
I like that idea : )
My idea is to draw your friends or family members as characters from your fandom that match their personality
Noice!
Hey Mira! This video has been so helpful in quarantine it has kept me busy with my sketchbook. Could you make more of these videos they are so helpful

That’s a really good idea!
Nora Dennis ya
Ima bring mine to Warner bros studio tour when I go, I might be able to take pics then draw them back in the hotel
My childhood art hero signed my sketchbook so now I am even more scared to use it 😂 Great video! I'm inspired to use sketchbooks more!
Katy Vaughan Art who? :O
Ibrahim Brhome Nick Sharratt 😊 A children's illustrator from the UK
Katy Vaughan Art the one who does the Jacqueline Wilson illustrations?! I love their work
the beginning about buying more and more sketchbooks is the story of all artists' lives. awesome video!
Hahaha yes!! Such a guilty pleasure. :)
I started watching your videos on the 19 March 2020 But since then I love you so much I have been watching you every single day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🧡❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
GREAT IDEA ..on the paper selection for a creative type art paper ...plus this also enables you to use multi or mixed mediums ...
Love this. I'm off to Prague next week and will definitely be taking a little sketch pad with me. Thank you for inspiring me
I fill them fine! More tips are inspiring tho.

now i want a new sketch book AND new water colors! I have lots in my amazon cart but it all costs like $600!
First, wish a speedy recovery for you. I really love this video. And love the doodles you did. I might try some of these just need to push myself to be not scared to try.

People: go to fancy restraunts for dates
Mira: gets coffee and draws while on a date
Me: MIRA'S WAY IS BETTER
Last night I drawed my favorite stuffed animal and it was just amazing and calming
Oh wow, I watched so many of your ‘how to fill your sketchbook’ videos and now I recognised that your left handed. Me too! Super nice! 🤗✨
I use my sketchbook for gratitude journaling and prayer, as well as drawing.

I get inspired when I'm at school and am not aloud to draw, if I do I will have to throw it away 😪
That stinks. School shouldn't be like that. Write down what you want to draw and maybe then you will be hit with the bug again later.

I loved this video SO much! 😍✨ and your such a beautiful radiant lady 💕✨🌞
Ahh, thank you Katie! You are a gem! 💜☺️

Thought it was just me with the Sketchbook addiction! They're so cute and wonderful... but never full. Lol
Mira you are so pretty i love your turquoise eyes and you are so talented!! You are amazing at drawing, painting, and lots of art also! You deserve a billion subscribers! Love,
One of your biggest fans
I love the lists and swatches ideas! I never thought of that!
It’s soooo helpful for me!
Thank you for the ideas! I’ve been in quite the art block
I listened to your videos while doodling. Great inspiration. Thanks.
Im glad Summer break is coming soon, so I get to stay up all night drawing without having to worry about school.
That’s the best!!
You always inspire me so much
Halfway through your sketchbook videos I just go and get my sketchbook and other art supplies 😍😍🌈
Hi I know you might not read this but you have really inspired me to be more of a diffrent person and I am just a kid!
You are spot on about collecting sketchbooks and then never completely fill them. Thank you for the pep talk. Love your art too.
Hi Mira!
Something that I find therapeutic to draw simple and cute Disney characters in my own style or name of things with plants with it
I love to take a book to the bar, its dark, live environment, people always stop by and when i look thorugh it the next day if fun to see what i did.
Lol that intro is literally my life. I buy so many writing and sketch books because they look pretty and I can't resist even though I know I'll never finish or even start half of them... 🤦🤦🤦😂
Really good video btw 😆
Love ya. I love your happy transmitting of your ideas. God Bless You.
Miranda is so pretty!!
Another idea, HANDLETTERING 😁
I’m moving to a new house and changing schools and I find that drawing the house helps me de-stress and has really helped me improve as an artist
I have that exact same sketchbook and I have to agree with you! That sketchbook is really good for lots of stuff!
Yes!!! Sketchbook twins. I’m leaving for California tonight, and I’m so excited to take that sketchbook with me!
This is my go to video for ideas ❤️
I love the way that you explain things sort of and you say how it inspires you and the different places you could go and what you can do. And it actually is great that its my sketchbook and i do what i want and no body judges me. I really like this video

Your so underrated,, wtf? New sub 💖

this and your sketchbook tour video inspired me to make a summer sketchbook and fill it up over the summer, and not worry about whether it's good or not. so thanks :)
I love this! Haha I have a leaf that likes to go between all my sketchbooks:)
can you make a video on what is in your travel bag???
I like doing a sunset by water colours then in black pen draw something like a palm tree or something or people like a shadow x
Those pink leaves would make amazing bat ears!
You're absolutely correct, I need to try this.
some other ideas:
- draw pictures from instagram or snapchat or internet
- draw something you will never draw
- draw things around you
- make a photo and try to draw it
Immediately I have Faith from Buffy in my head... 5 by 5 XD
Hope you are feeling better. So glad everything is good with your health now. ❤
an idea i currently have but i'm still trying to turn into like a piece is water waves turning into sound waves that flow into a headset's cables and someone's listening to them and slowly having water accents in their features. like waves for hair and all that. as if the sound of water is turning them into water too! idk i just randomly have that idea and really want to draw it

Mira i love your eyes they're such good inspo for a character's eyes
Thanks! 😍
Coucou ma belle Binta j’espère que tu as eu ton week-end 🚺❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great ideas. Hope you heal quickly.
This inspired me today. I needed some ideas on what to do summer always makes me not want to actually do anything.
*winter, fall, & spring have left the chat*
I read this comment like three times and was so confused. Then I laughed so hard once it dawned on me. Hahaha
Hi, mira
I enjoy watching yous video's enjoy doing more videos.👋😁🤪💐☕🚦🎁🖼️🎨🖌️🖍️🎧🐾🇬🇧
Love the two thumbnail pictures : )
Hi! Thanks for your suggestions. It kind of helped me and maybe I'm going do draw something. I haven't done anything in months. 🦊😊
You can draw clouds and rainbows you can even draw rain with a rainbow with a little sun kind of peaking out
I get you girl I’m a artist and I’m there thinking and thinking then when I finish I don’t like my art
Great content!!!!!!
I'm 10 leaves away from finishing a 100 leaf Sketchbook that I started late October. First sketchbook almost filled.
That’s really impressive! Kudos to you!
Can you use graphite on watercolor paper?
Cảm giác như mk đang đc nghe 1 bản nhạc chữa lành vậy đó. Giọng hát của đp rất đặc biệt, nhẹ nhàng tình cảm. Xem video thôi đã hay ntn r, ghen tị vs ekip qaa nghe hát live chắc hay gấp 💯lần lunn

If you can, could you please tour this sketchbook? I would love to see it! Love your channel!
I could do the opposite color challenge. Say u were going to use green.NOPE. you use purple. For the fellow artists who know opposite colors this would be a good idea!!
That sounds fun!
