These are great🎉

Chickadees are my fave. Also, I love the addition of the beads. Also, also, Canada would be a lot cooler if we'd actually had pennies with wee little flounders on them.

Lovely painting!

I love everything about your final painting. I also really appreciate what the chickadee symbolizes for you. :)) stunning work!

Your fish came out so cute!! ❤ 🐟

Aaaaa the piece with the chickadee is so pretty! I love that you played around with 3D parts and sewing onto it! I never even even thought of the ladder one! May try it myself :) ✨️🌿 Also I know the feelings all too well. I also have an immense fear of tax people which is why I am too scared to start my own business yet (help) You're definitely not alone in this! 💕

Girl I would love to start an art business but the thought of the business side of it freaks me out

Hello may I ask something? I bought the same polymer clay but its still sticky and would leave shreds when I try to carve out the pattern. Is there a way to make it smooth like yours?

Thank you for sharing! This is what a sketchbook should look like. With all its creativity, experimentation, scribbeling, really nice drawings, colour, sketches, exercises, maybe collages etc. I think it is important to sometimes just do it. As, I think it was Picasso said: There is such thing as inspiration, but it has to find you working. Even if you don't feel like being creative, if you are used to grabbing pen/pencil and sketchbook when you want to express your feelings, then it starts to come naturally at some point and you get freer in your expression.

I thoroughly enjoyed that, thanks for sharing! 😊

What kind of glue did you use

I think these kinds of sketchbooks are the most beautiful and thank you for sharing them with us! I completly understand the feeling of not liking what youve made or feeling like you didnt do well enough, but all of those feelings are just one persons subjective experience. If I had made almost any of the pages in this book I would be overjoyed and so proud even if you think they are some of your worst pages. I dont know, you probably dont need a pep talk but I just thought it was cool. Your art is wonderful and never fails to inspire, delight and amaze me :))

😍😍 these kinds of "ugly" Sketchbooks r always the most satisfying to watch!! Something about the experimentation and randomness

Really cool!!! Love how fluffy the pages r 😂 also it's really interesting to see your planning / thumbnails process for the illustrations

Это видео очень вдохновляет и мотивирует рисовать! Вы проделали такую нереальную работу всего за 30 дней! Каждая страница такая емкая и наполненная, мне хочется замедлить видео, чтобы разглядывать их дольше. Это, наверное, самый заполненный толстый блокнот, который я видела. Наверное, я еще не раз буду пересматривать этот ролик!❤

Finish with clear nail polish?

Youre so real for showing the struggles. Watching other videos i often wo der how they do it so easy! Especially the part about whoch glue to use!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS! i bought this kit for my girlfriend and i to build and this was really helpful, especially wiring the led and what glues to use so ill prepare that stuff to make it easier for us

Can we just go back to that painting that turns? That is incredible! It moves? Like a clock? What? And that almost 3D cat that came shortly after? I'm obsessed with your work! You have a new fan and follower. Ugly sketchbook? I love it!

Thank you for sharing your walk, and your process!

Mesmerizing!

Loved your commentary about the nature of the prompts. I did peachtober for the first time this year and have had a hard time finishing this last week (with my teething baby who hates it when I paint). Your apricot/pixel piece at the end is stunning, so inspiring. Thanks for a lovely, thoughtful video. ♥️

You: This is an ugly trial balloon. Me: That’s a beautiful, finished drawing. Liked and subscribed.

I make excuses for my ugly attempts at art too. You don't need to, your sketch book is impressive,exciting and interesting.

Thank you for being realistic,🙏💯👍

Humming bird painting depth definitely works 💪

"ugly" or real/practical sketchbooks are my fav. they're about learning and raw experience. definitely more vulnerable. love it

Please share the link to this muji sketchbook? I’m on the site but not sure which one this is. Thanks 🙏🏾

Gorgeous. As a fellow artist, I like seeing all the process stuff, and it’s great seeing your planning along with inset images of what work developed from it. So much of what we see on social media is people sharing the most polished versions of their creativity, but I think there’s something so wonderful about seeing the steps leading up to the “finished version”. I love getting a feel for the thought process, and getting a feel for the artist behind the art. I love the “combining two things” approach you took to shifting stuck places in your creativity. And the results are so interesting and fun to look at. Thank you so much for sharing all of this. It reminds me of meeting up with a drawing pal and exchanging sketchbooks to have a look at each other’s beautiful and weird brains before we spend a few hours drawing together…

Love it! It's REAL! Not ugly at all, I love to have a look at another artist's thought processes. Showing your real unfiltered sketchbook has made me love all of my "ugly" sketchbooks soo much more. We need to be proud of them they work had for us.

Map crunch was a great suggestion. Thank you for that!

All your drawing are so cute and cool!

Always interesting getting to see inside a sketchbook, more so as I've enjoyed your videos for a while and so that familiarity adds to the experience, it's more enjoyable, more meaningful, if that makes sense.

Lovely sketchbook tour, thank you for sharing !

Thank you for sharing!

I hope you protected your respiration. The dusts can do serious lung damage, & might be really bad in the bloodstream.

Using reference is not a bad thing get over it people pro artist always use reference are your friends dame😂😂

This video inspired me to start midway through the month, thanks :)

Peachtober is the best! (not that I'm doing it this year :D )

I love this, great job :)

Holy smokes, that's gorgeous. Also, the overly protected tree still cracks me up :D

This was so inspiring to watch! I should also try and paint the mundane things I see. I live in a city so I always think there isn’t anything beautiful to paint (e.g nature.) but there’s nothing stopping me from painting buildings under the setting sun, or the trees which line the street. Thank you! ❤

I just love when you do this type of video. I really enjoy hearing your thought process that goes into one of your paintings. I remember having to do artist statements in school and hating it because it always felt so pretentious but I love hearing about where your inspiration comes from ❤ Also all I could think at the beginning was "of course Melle watched Stargate too" why did we have to grow up halfway across the country from eachother?

Lol at the painting of mud. Soooo true!!

Just want to say I loved that story

this stuff relaxing to build but also stress inducing one wrong move and you'll think for 20 minutes before just nyeh il continue and mess it up again because thats how i feel making these b4

Very well done. loved it❤

You did Great!!! A sign of a good artist!! You create art. The true artist can create art from all sorts of things. You may have fun creating your own colors from things in nature. Super fun watching you work!!! Awesome!!! Keep an open mind. You never know what you will discover!! Some color making ideas (a mortar and pestle work great. A good blender helps too.- just add some water): Flowers Bark (So many fun earth tones) Berries (amazing reds, and purples) Soil (grey, brown, red, black) Leaves (as fall comes you will get even more variety) Vegetables (Beets, Carrots, yellow squash outer flesh, green squash outer flesh, cucumber outer flesh) Blue Pea Flower (a personal favorite) *If you want to preserve some of your colors for later use white vinegar, or vodka. Store in small glass containers. Enjoy your day!!

Did you know that Baohong paper and Meeden paper are the same thing? I remember in the past your local shop was discontinuing Baohong. (That was you, correct? Or am I making it up?). Perhaps, Meeden is available?

I use Qor watercolors 😊
