10 Ways I FILLED my SKETCHBOOK

It's often hard to actually fill a sketchbook when we buy one. Definitely one of those "easier said than done" activities. Here are 10 ways I filled my sketchbook. I found these methods incredibly helpful, so I hope they help you too!

You're welcome to draw with me as I talk about various sketchbook ideas. Most of these are illustrations, so whether you're just starting out or you've been doing art for a while... you're in the right place! All art is good art! :)

OMG I'm so sorry ...when I heard your voice I thought you were like 14 but then you said "my husband" and I was like WOAH!!!

They should sell sketchbooks with all different colored papers and weights

I kid you not, I watched about 4 different artists sketchbook tours and their advice on sketchbooks, I thought I was done but you uploaded just now and I HAD to watch it! I just finished now, and it was a great watch :) I've been pushing myself to draw and paint and do what I want in my sketchbooks more, its really freeing. I even said to myself "wow, I'm actually having fun painting!" which is sadly something I haven't felt until I started doing what I wanted in my sketchbooks.

My only completed pieces are pretty much just in my sketchbook haha. I have expensive paper and I just get nervous to use it so.... 😜

You are so inspirational. I always thought I was bad at drawing but now I feel like I should get a sketchbook and just draw what I want and how I want it, and not really worry about what other people think. Thank you

I love your sketchbook videos you are so pretty and creative! They really motivate me and I am currently going through an art Block so thank you!

Because of school I've been struggling to sketch up as fast.

Thank you for sharing ... really great ideas to fill a sketchbook :)

I agree whole-heartedly that a sketchbook is for whatever the artist wants to do. Especially when they are so much more affordable than looseleaf professional grade papers and keeps all the art in one place. Watching your sketchbook videos always make me feel so much happier. I finally felt inspired to go back and fill in some that I haven't had the motivation to touch in ages. Thank you for being an inspiration for others to just do their own thing.

when I finish my sketch book i say ''I need a new sketch book I killed my Last one

YOU. ARE. MY. MUSE!!! I'm SOOOO happy that I found you on YouTube! I have been a pencil artist ALL my life, but for the past 12 years I've been in an artist block (?), slump? I dunno. But I 100% know that part of my block was what other people would think of my art, even if NO ONE saw it! It would get so bad that my art was suffering from the constant criticism that I was giving myself, I wasn't happy drawing anymore. Lately, I've been trying to start over in my art. i.e. coloring books and small sketch books. But after watching this video and listening to you say just do art for you, I think I can jump back into my art again and be happy. Thank you for making this video and all the videos you have made and are going to make! You're a wonderful person!

Ahh!! Finally someone who agrees with me about the whole "no finished art in sketchbooks!" Debate!! I also feel that a sketchbook is what the artist wants it to be!! Anyways amazing art Mira!

[KatharineWardArt]

Thanks for the tips! I am going to be starting a sketchbook soon, and am planning to make videos on it too :D you should make more sketching videos, would love to see them!

[purpllina]

When will ppl get that other ppls sketchbook isn’t mean to look like how the ahole wants it to look like. They want a sketchbook to look a certain way then they should have their own damn sketchbook. (Srry pregnancy crabiness).

[thirzewiegers]

This video was super inspiring! You are an amazing artist!

[itzzhailey]

Oh my Gosh. I was so amazed by the flowing of the beach watercolor. It's beautiful. And so amazing. 😍😍😍

[midnightkitty]

I always do full art pieces in my sketch book as I don’t like having loose pieces of art laying around. I am scared I will misplace them

[jntbleger]

Hey Mira could you do more of these awesome how to fill your sketchbook videos because they are so helpful and so fun to watch.

[pameehanson]

I have found also for me a sketch book does not mean I have to finish each sketch, a place for random ideas love how you just do your sketch book for you!❤️

[jakicantdj]

I have 3 more pages on my sketchbook ahh!! It will be the first sketchbook I finish!
