Hi there! I'm just going to comment on the portrait at the end of the video. I'm not a perfect artist, and I too have things I'm trying to improve every day! Sadly, the skin tone did not turn out as dark as I had hoped, but I have learned from my experience and will try again in the future! The best way to learn and improve is to just jump in and try! The watercolor base for the skin tone was a bad idea for my page -- I should have either used something else, or painted on a page that didn't already have a ton of paint on the other side. I didn't want to cut the portrait out of the video, because I wanted to keep it real with you folks - I'm not perfect. My art needs improvement in many areas. That said, I've been striving to paint and honor my brothers and sisters of all races and improve as best I can. I'm very passionate about racial equity, and I like to celebrate that through my artwork when I do happen to draw/paint people. I understand I am not the best at skintones, but that does not reflect my beliefs in any way. I am so terribly sorry if it came off that way! My channel is, and always will be a safe space for EVERYONE. My channel is also a place where you are welcome to correct me if I am wrong. I love you all so incredibly much and want you to feel valued here!! 💜

Idk if this is weird but Mira just haves a smoothing voice

I love that you are open about your love for God! Your video's have helped me so much through my husband being deployed and a 2nd miscarriage while he has been gone. I just wanted to stop by and encourage you with you are helping so many people by just being you. I am glad you did not choose the dentistry path. Because of your videos, I started creating again. For this, I thank you!

Feel free to take breaks whenever u need to !!

Who else missed her?

Oooh, this video seems to be packed with some of my favorite things. Sketchbooks, Coziness, Painting & Mira! 😮♥️

I literally just got hurt by a icicle and I got cheered up when I saw Mira posted a video

Mira is literally a whole different vibe (vibe queen)

the story about you and your husband made me mushy! you’re too cute!

Hi I've just started watching your chanle and I think you're so inspirational

"Cozy" is the definition of Mira's channel.

I think that I speak for everyone when I say that Mira is a very inspiring personality and that I can't wait every week to see her new video. 🌸

Hey Mira! We love you! Whenever you need to, you can ALWAYS take a break! It is not....law....for you to be posting for us. You do you! Can’t wait to get out of school to draw along! Keep up the great work my friend and stay warm! ⛄️❄️☁️✨☀️🦔

You are so inspirational!!I feel very relaxed when I see your videos,they are very refreshing and uplifting...

can we just admit mira's art is literally amazing and so pretty! - getriya

The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense -Pablo Picaso❤️❤️

Not me painting my wall while listening to this

I've watched you're videos for a long time and never realized you were in columbus! Me too! That's exciting! Great to know there's such talented artists in columbus! Love your artwork!

I fudgin' love the first painting, it's so peaceful and calm ❤

I feel so refreshed each time i watch your video and i just love watching you paint and draw! It makes me feel the creative energy too!💗

Hi Mira! I know I’m REALLY late to this video, but I love to watch these kinds of videos while doing art myself, and I’ve been super busy. I know you probably won’t see this comment, but I relate to you so much. I’m only 13, but I love art so much and it’s one of my favorite hobbies. I feel very much that I am a style hopper as well, I haven’t found what works best for me. I’m not sure I ever will. I’m not that good at realism, my dad always describes my style as “abstract realism.” My colors are really bright and I have a weird cartoony type of realism. I know this is really weird, but I love it! I’m also a perfectionist and struggle with not making a masterpiece😂. You are such an inspiration to me and I love to watch all of your videos and do art with you. If you need break of course that’s fine! but we will always be waiting for you when you come back to see us😊 Ilysm and see you soon!

Omg so cute I can just hear the smile in Mira's voice when she is talking about your husband❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love your artwork Mira!!!!

Mira, I loved the video! The part where you said you wanted to inspire people really hit me and even though you might not see this I just wanted to let you know that you really have inspired me do create more and do what I love! I also love your sketchbook videos🤩

You are such an amazing person Mira! I love your art and I hope you never stop doing what u love!

I usually don't whatch art videos because it puts me down as im young and my art isn't the best but your videos are just amazing and definitely inspire me.

WOW did not expect my question to make it, i posted it rather late :D Thanks, Mira! I'll try to record in advance, though it's pretty hard while working a full time job :(

I’m so happy I found your channel! Love your content, it has inspired me to pick up painting again!❤️

Love these chit chat videos! Today we totally worked out together Mira! Had to get my stretches and crunches in! As for answering some of your questions, I can totally relate to the one about having a hard time creating art because you want it to be perfect. My best advice for this is to play a scribble game with someone. I do this with my kids all the time. One of us will scribble a few lines on a piece of paper and then it is the other person’s job to figure out what to turn that scribble into. It is good because it takes away the fear of a white page and makes you think outside the box. You can twist the paper in any direction you want till you see what magical creature or fun character or epic scene is waiting to hop out of those lines. One of my favorite creations that came out of this is an iguana lounging in a robe. I’ve never drawn iguanas before and certainly not one lounging but there he was hiding in the lines and I brought him out. Let me know if you ever decide to give this a try. I’d love to see what you create!

I always enjoy watching someone else paint and see their process. Your prices is so interesting with each layer providing another interesting painting! Thank you for sharing some of your personal life! It did make me happy to know you are involved in a church and went to a Bible study in college! You seem like you would be a really sweet friend!

About the last question that you answered- you encourage me a LOT with your art and with your KZfaq videos! I've followed your content here on KZfaq for a handful of years now and it's artists such as yourself that inspire me to keep creating even when I've felt like giving up. I would have never gotten to the point where I am at with my art today if I hadn't started to watch KZfaq or continued to. Thank you so much for every video that you've ever posted!

Sadly I have to go to sleep now due to time difference. I will watch this as soon as I wake up and right now I just wanted to ask you how are you feeling Mira!! ^^

I literally love your content so much, Mira. It makes me so happy and I get so pumped when I see that you posted a new video. You are so talented and amazing and I really hope you have an amazing week!

I just found your channel like I month ago, and I'm hooked 🤩 I'm not astetic at all and every time I try, I get so frustrated that I can't be free and let go, my whole mindset are in lines, balance, symmetry and systems 🙈 But when I look at your videos I get my share of art 🤩 Thank you for make me feel satisfied 🙏

Can we just take a moment and say that she has the best voice in the world ❤️?

This was fun and relaxing to watch and listen to. Each of the pieces is different. Hard to a favorite.

The portrait at the end is beautiful. Amazing work.

I always find your videos so relaxing. Always a pleasure to watch.

I absolutely love these type of laid back chit chatty videos because I love being able to draw and listen to someone else talk while seeing what their making!! It just makes me feel so happy that I'm kind of doing art with another person instead of by myself!! :D

I really appreciated what you were saying about style-hopping. I have tried for years to nail down a style to stick to, and genuinely thought that there must have been something wrong with me cause I just can't do it. I go from old-school disney animals, to semi-realistic landscapes, to calligraphy, to fantasy creatures. I try any medium, pencils, acrylics, oils, watercolours, markers, pastels, digital... just can't find my "one thing". It's very reassuring to know that I'm not alone in this, and that it doesn't make me any less of an artist. From now on I'll try to focus less on finding a consistent style, and more on just doing whatever makes me happy at the time. Thank you Mira!

Thank you so much for the tips and for responding to my question, Mira! Your videos always inspire me to create. Also, I really like this type of chill video -- it's so chill!

I love these kind of videos its so relaxing and enjoying and Mira's personality is so comforting and happy i just love your videos like these

im so glad someone like yourself is able to express the normal in style hopping as i feel i dont have a style and i love so many different kinds of art i dont want to seclude myself to just one category, so thank you for making my varying abilities and styles as a artist feel normal. i love you channel and you art

Hi Mira! I love this longer chat and paint style video! I also love that you switch between realism and a more illustrative style. It’s so fun to watch. Have a great weekend 😊💜

Loved this video, and I felt free to create. Your channel is a hangout for me, whenever I’m feeling unmotivated or tired, your videos calm me, and make me laugh. I feel motivated and uplifted whenever I watch one of your videos! Thank you Mira.

I listened to ur video while I was getting ready!LOL😆

omg, I love these types of videos. so fun to watch and do painting with you

I kinda put off watching this video as I enjoy watching your videos and I have been in such a foul mood and I was waiting to watch because I knew that I would not watch you and be unhappy! Yep, sometimes you gotta let your anger out! I have continued to make art in as many styles as I can. Having only one style is death for a freelancer. You have to be flexible with as many different mediums as possible. I know that my watercolor paintings have a certain “look” and I am learning about soft pastels as I have a desire to loosen up and try to create in a more impressionistic manner. I enjoyed watching you create each and every one of the artworks you did in this video. Please take care and be safe and say Hello to Dorv!

Omgggg hii I love you so much and just by the title I kniw how much inspiration this is going to give me tysm for posting such amazing videos I love you so much and have a great day everyone and anyone reading this 💖💗❤❤

I was wondering what to do for the LAST page in my sketchbook!! so excited I think I found the best inspiration! thx Mira! you're the best

I also enjoy encouraging others. Also giving constructive critique, helpful advise, tips and teaching. Reaching personal goals. I hope to make a living off my art and KZfaq sometime soon and constitute to DM, worldbuilding, write, create various art, etc. There is also so much to study and learn! Enjoyable relaxing video. I did some chores while watching. Thanks.

Great video. You are a lovely person. Spending time with you is joyful. Thanks.

Painting relaxes me and so is drawing. I even listen to music while I paint and draw.

I try to avoid watching other art you tubers 1) bc Mira Byler is my fav 2) Bc it changes my art style if I watch someone else who likes maybe realistic or sketching rather than doing more illustrative vibey stuff like Mira. LOL

Thanks for answering my question. You inspired me to get back into my art. Shout out from Cleveland!

And the third one too, love that one.

Mira!! This video was a major learning point for me about wat art was thankyou! Love you!

Wonderful video 👌 will watch the full video afterwards , I have to sleep because I live in India. Looking forward to another qna soon.

I really love the vibe of that first one!!!

I'm a style hopper too! You explained style hopping so well. I feel like so many people prefer when people have a set style and I think the way you explained it may help people be more interested in those of us who don't have a style. I think my favorite page today was the cat. Loved the multiple eyes! I forgot you started a new channel. I'm going straight to it now and get subscribed so I don't forget again.

I love the door painting! ❤️😍

I really enjoyed this video and got some things from the shop :) excited

Mira!! I kind of stopped watching your videos for a bit which i will regret forever, but I am so glad your back and happy and healthy and the same positive Mira you always were and always will be! Looking forward to seeing more of your masterpieces, and as always, stay Mira!!❤💛💚💙💜💖❤💛💚💙💜💖

Your art is amazing!! I really love these types of videos. Love you ❤️🥰

I love the peachy stickers. When they go up for sale i hope to get them. I just learned that some women going through uterine & endometrial cancer use peach to symbolize themselves. I like that idea. Beyond the physical aspect, i love the beauty, sweetness and fragility of the peach as a symbol as well as a its history in art itself; peach pit sculpture comes to mind. You may have just had the cuteness as your inspriation, but dont you just love that about art? ,that it can be transformed by the individual viewer and take on life beyond the creator's original vision. Looking forward to shopping!

I love the hangout artwork questions and answers, this is perfect....I'm glad someone asked why you went to college for Biology but you do more art, it's good to have a back up but also I can see the other side of how you wasted time and money on a university, but then again you would have never meet your husband. Well I still love your art work and looking forward to more

YAY! Mira is back!! You have brightened my day thank you!

Mira, you are such a good artist and q role model. I always find your art interesting and calming. Also, your art is an inspiration to me. I had so much fun watching this video, and listening to it. Please do more longer videos such as this one, I really enjoy them and I think many other people do too!!!!!! Thank you 😊 -From your BIGGEST FAN

I am so excited to watch the whole video☺️🦋🥺🥺

That's a cool door painting!! Ahhh!!! You answered my question!! I want those notepads!!! I love style hopping ... I'd get bored just doing landscapes all day.

Hmm... Columbus area restaurants. I’m vegan, but a few that I’ve enjoyed are Eden Burger and Loving Hut. Love your videos!!

I wasn't planning on sitting down and doing art with you but i cant resist it looks so relaxing:)

OMG your outfit is SO CUTE and you are SO TALENTED

I love travelling myself, one of my biggest travel goals is to go to japan, or just anywhere outside of my country haha, id love for you to visit Australia one day if you haven’t already, i think you’d love it 😊

I love the notebooks and the stickers! I’m definitely going to be purchasing some! Love you Mira! ♥️ ❤️

Hi Mira, love your vids! I really missed you! I loved the Q & A, and your art is so amazing!! Great job on this! :)

Hi from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹 Welcome back! Love your videos!

It feel like it's been forever! I have been watching your older videos. I missed you. Hope you're doing alot better though. I loved this it's so relaxing. I'm definitely a style hopper

Ive been struggling with a really bad art block and i just didnt want to take a break even though i knew its what i needed, but i took the break and focused on school and today i painted stitch from lilo and stitch and got out of my art block!!! :) i hope this helps other people struggling with art block!

This was so satisfying thank you Mira ❤️💖

Your answer about when to sell art was really helpful. I've been putting my art out there and trying to incorporate content on different platforms and figure out how to sell my art and it was too overwhelming, and it took a lot of my focus away from the Art that I love. All that to say Thanks for sharing your thoughts and story.

I am so glad you are back!!

What helps me avoid those negative self-talk things, is not saying anything to myself that I wouldn't say to someone else. I would say someone else's art is ugly and that they will never get anywhere with it, so I don't say it to myself.

Thank you so much for this time together. It's was nice to 'geek out' with you. As a result I finally gathered the courage to break open the gouache paints i have never used before and puddled about with them to discover their properties. I think im hooked! This is what ive been looking for all my life. Watercolours that behave like acrylics or is it acrylics that behave like watercolour?

Hi I am a new subscriber, I really enjoy watching your videos and your art work is amazing, I have a granddaughter who also loves drawing and painting, I have always loved art, so glad I found your channel, thank you for sharing your beautiful art work 🎨💕

I don't live in Columbus, but come down every year for the big game convention that happens there and LOVE North Market! I look forward to eating there as much as I look forward to the game convention and seeing my friends!

Loved this longer style video, it definitely has a hangout type vibe to it... The cosmic cat is my favourite art piece of the day, it makes me feel like he can see & hear my thoughts... As always I look forward to your next video, take care & stay safe my lovely... 💫😷✏👩🏼‍🎨🖌😷💫

thanks mira for a long relaxing video 😊😄

I have absolutely loved this video!

Gosh, I love her. I only have two more pages in my sketchbook so im going to paint along with her to finish it up!

thank you for being such an inspiration for my youtube channel! I love your artwork! - getriya

Your painting are just awesome! Am soo in love with you and your artworks💕💕💕💕 Specially the yellow model girl u painted in this video is damn good🤩. Soo much love to you mira from India!🤗❤

My name is Anna! And it’s pronounced the same way u said it! When u said it I was like”?! What? R u talking Tom me through the screen? “😂

I love this format ❤️

I loved this video. It was so nice to sketch with you 🥰

I enjoyed your Q & A, and your artwork is beautiful. =)

I love these kind of long videos

I love these videos. I can agree I am a total style hopper. I love using so many different mediums, different styles, and even projects. I do a little bit of everything, while sometimes it can take you longer to get more proficient at one medium when you are constantly changing things up. However, for me I just have to change things up all the time. I am glad I am not the only one that has like 3 or 4 different drinks when they are working lol. I always have my trusty water bottle, then I have my "salty" drink for my health, then I have will sometimes also have coffee/tea, or a seltzer of some sort. I always look really thirsty.

I really like that door painting:)

Me cleaning my room: (quiet) (Goes to put music) Sees new video from Mira Me : ok just wait until i finish Me: just...(watches the whole video) Me again realises that i watched the video , talking to myself:sorry i had to ,nobody is gonna know. Mira love your videos and you as well and this actually from my head so ,yeah.😁😁😁

Hii! This is kind of random but does anyone hear the smile in her voice? Its so welcoming and kind! I love this type of video, thank youQ
