I feel so happy i found this channel! You are the first illustrator that doesnt show 40 min vlogs of a routine only packing orders for 8 hours. I'm an illustrator too and i just relate a lot to a routine where you work with other things pack orders study...thanks for that. :)

The influence of getting some Starbucks, Cheese Puffs, and chips are instilled on me! Gotta try the Starbucks Coffee right away! I'm currently catching up on my journal while watching your video and it's just soothing to see how you progress on your school, life and Art. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us, somehow, it lightens up everything and the bonus thing is that you enjoy doing all your videos to give joy to other people. Again, thank you and stay safe as well! Sending love from the Phillipines to you. ✨✨✨✨✨✨❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@iikkraa_]

Love watching your videos during break! They always motivate me to get back to work! It is so inspiring how you focus on school and your shop, your art style is my favourite bdw

[@gisseltorres803]

love the tote bag so cute! ❤️ Another great video! I also agree with the art part that you go through many losses to finally get to where you are happy but it's a long process every mistake is a new experience for your art to improve.

[@smoleart]

as they say two L’s make a W >:-‘)

[@cove.studios_]

the editing of your vids is constantly improving and i love it😆 my favorite thing is crocheting to your vids :D (edit) yesss I love the Docs!! i swear suturing is the hardest in the beginning lol it's like thought intensive sewing 🥲

[@smoleart]

AW thank you!! that means so much to hear :-') suturing is quite fun after awhile hehe

[@Rozalie131]

Just found your channel, and wowee wow how do you get so many things done so quick? I'll be using this channel as motivation to get myself together haha

[@lin90210]

I've become more and more squeamish with age...think I would pass out with anxiety with all the suturing hehe you are so brave and strong

[@HOSHI_KUMA]

I love your vlogs 💖 i like to listen to your vlogs while I draw 😊 i was going to school to become a vet tech, so some of the things you do I do also in my classes(putting on bandages, suturing, etc). But sadly I dropped out this semester. I just wasn't feeling motivated anymore and I felt like I didn't want to pursue this career anymore so I dropped out even tho I had 2 classes left 😅 idk what my future holds but for now I'm working on my small business :)

[@smoleart]

all the power to you for realizing that you wanted to pursue something different hoshi!! :-)

[@sandymakes6720]

So happy to see this new video of yours!! Really miss u mel! 😊🥰 thanks for sharing ur stories and artsss. U inspire me! 💕

[@smoleart]

thank YOU sandy!! 💕

[@linsaraillustration]

Tote bag looks so cute. Agree to Art comes through many losses.. Thanks for all the energy 💪

[@emikoftokyo]

I hope school goes well for you !!! Sadly I’m back in grad school for the third time. I just finished my doctorates degree. But my new job wants a specific degree(I think that’s still in the air) I’m hating it lol. I also lecture in the summer and summer college life be the same as what you show just on the flip side. Ik crazy 😂 they think I’m a student anyway 🤷🏾‍♀️ anywho I need a tote !!! Also the shaken espresso is like the only drink at Starbucks. They changed the name to that. I have been drinking it since 2007 when I was 21 😂 I still prefer blue bottle original version of the drink and my local coffee shops. I’m a coffee snob(and blogger) indeed. Okay have a great semester and I am going to buy things from your shop per usual lol. 👋🏾

[@jenmiller3954]
