The first thing we notice is how much work Mira generates, and even though we can see improvement over time, the quality is always there, even in the early sketches. So impressed!

Looking back on old sketchbooks is the best, knowing how much you have grown shows it! Keep going Mira!

​@@MiraBylerI'm trying to buy one of your items from your shop but it doesn't give me the option for United Kingdom do you send to the UK I really need the beautiful bag lol

I really relate to being a list person 😅 like i have a journal dedicated to just lists of music, anime, and drawing ideas. Ive also kept my old sketchbooks from highschool and middle school and it always trips me out seeing what i used to be into and how i used to draw but it always gives me a nostalgic feeling

Who likes her videos 👇

Hi Mira! I've been watching you for around 5 years now (can't believe it's been that long!) and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of the inspiration and creative encouragement you have provided over that time. Your videos were what really motivated me to continue with my art, and cast out any self-doubts, or worries about how I could develop my own unique "style." Since then, I have discovered that art is one of my passions, and I've chosen to continue forward with it in my studies! All of your videos are so beautifully put together, and it's such a privilege to share in your joyful positive attitude- I think it is something we can all learn a lot from, to be kind to OURSELVES as well as just others, and take the time we need to do what makes us feel good, in order to grow as people. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, and including us in this experience to look back and reflect on what we've achieved with pride, and see how far we've come. Wishing you all peace and best of luck for the coming year! ❤❤

Hello Mira! As my Mother has always said to me. Write the date on your photo’s, because unfortunately we will forget in time. Even with art work in a journal it’s nice to have a little personal thought on the process of why you why went that route. Maybe, your feelings,,etc…. As always, Mira, you are a delightful person and your videos are great. You leave a person with positive vibes. To me that is a wonderful gift to share with so many people. Warm Regards, Martina.

This is one of my favourite things to do with my sketchbook. Sometimes there are pages that i hated when i made them and looking at them later on makes me apreciate them way more. Great video ❤

​@@bookshelfhoneyCool idea!

I love how your older pieces inspired you.

People typically have a very short attention span... so casting the deciding vote for a series was/is the best choice. Fun to look back and see a few things, like you never gave up, your skill and styles improved. I saw many drawings which are calling out for you to revisit them with your current style and abilities. Hopefully, you do this 🙂

_"People typically have a very short attention span."_ I can't agree._"People typically have a very short attention span."_ is a myth propagated by constant repetition! I would rephrase that as *younger* people tend to have a short attention span... " due mostly to the development of social media and its demands for 'quick fixes' which develop addictions to their platforms. This has now become increasingly the case with KZread, where videos longer than 30 minutes are now ignored by the algorithm, and even 20 minute videos are now considered 'too long'. Source: the comments made by several of my art friends here on YT, including the Frugal Crafter Lindsay Weirich, who's been around as an art and craft video channel since 2010, and the 20+ age groups, who have seen the changes in the way their videos _aren't_ being promoted now! It's why so many now do time lapse, and keep their real-time videos for their members / patreons. Most of us over 20 ' 25 years olds have perfectly normal attention spans and are getting increasingly frustrated by this problem!!!

Looking back at old sketchbooks is so interesting! It's like a time capsule

I binge watched all your videos last year. Starting right from your first video. Lots of memories here ❤️

I really liked your characters in the toned sketchbook! Those were really cool and creative! I especially enjoyed the old person character!

This is fantastic, I cant wait to be able to do this myself ☺☺

Thank you so much Mira! This has given me such good ideas as I am ill today!! Hope you have an amazing day!❤ lots of love from the ukkkk ❤❤❤

Good series, and I enjoyed part 1, looking forward to part 2. 😃👍

That rabbit is adorable

Wow Mira, yes your style has definitely changed but just look at the wonderful shading and details of those early pages. The lady sitting at the table for instance, the shading and texture of the wood grabbed my eye right away and your hair drawings are so amazing. I think a ‘gallery wall’ sketchbook video would be great! 💕

Congratulations on having a decade's worth of sketchbooks!! 👏👏 I thought you lost quite a bit during your flooding issue...

New to your channel, this was so helpful to see, it was inspiring. I love seeing early works from an artist, it helps me to grow myself. And I love that you don't always finish a sketchbook, that's super validating as well! Thank you!

So fun looking through old sketchbooks and see how much you have grown and learned over the years 😄 I love the pencil pouch you made, it’s so cute 😍 if you shipped to Europe I would have bought one immediately 😄

Looking back at my old sketchbooks makes me realized how much my skill declined lol. Which is fine, it just declined because I used to sketch or paint almost every day and now I do it every few months if that! I'm sure eventually I'll pick it back up again, I just burned myself out

Loved the tour. Also I’m also a Once girly. Love that show so much. 😊😊😊.

Keep going. Mira=3 You always inspire me, thank you so-so much=3

I have a tendency to rip pages out if sketchbooks. I lost a few of mine from college cuz of moving and just a distaste for the art i did. Seeing this video makes me see that i was too harsh on my art and the imposter syndrome i went through was not Great. Now i enjoy art even though i do post some on KZread i have created things without the pressure of filming it.

Yess thatartsygirl throwback omg 😭 take me back to those times LOL

I loved watching this💖💖

Once upon a time was sooo visually inspiring! You’ll find it in my sketchbooks too 😊

Wow! You are so talented those are great! I love how you have changed and tried all different kind of things.

I'm definitely borrowing your greenhouse idea from your 5" watercolor sketchbook ❤ love my pencil pouch you made! Youre absolutely right it does hold my watercolors and tombows AND my 5" watercolor sketchbook 🎉🥳

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and new year…x🎉🎉

I really liked the paintings from the original botanical inspiration!

Loving the flip through so far, I love your early works, I think perhaps it’s more my ‘style’… Or just more to my liking, I don’t really know what my style is! I love that I can see the cutesy stuff coming on in like the last two sketchbooks, it’s a drastic shift that even my untrained eye can see :P Also eagerly waiting for my mail forwarder to bring me two of those huge pencil cases, plus whatever else I ordered and forgot. It’ll be sort of a surprise and I do like surprises 😂

Maybe the dark tunnels was about drawing on a train and going through a tunnel?

Zo een leuke schets boeken en ik vind toch wel de mooiste : de portretten … nee eigenlijk alles 😂❤

Just ordered the pencil bag...can't wait til I get it!!🎉❤ Also the thing is you are going to be judging your art more than anyone else. I think your early art is so full of character! Happy New year!

Please do more of ways to fill your sketch books.
