[@oscaroreeco8970]

I’m sorry to hear that you are struggling at the moment, from someone who’s struggling too, I know that you’ll feel better soon

[@jf2801]

Damn, you really exposed yourself for a bit, there. Takes courage to be so vulnerable online. Especially with you having a decent sized audience. I hope your mental health is doing better, now. We all have our rough days. You look amazing and the art is always fabulous. Sending good vibes! 😊

[@leahmclaughlin8133]

I cannot properly express the appreciation that I have for your mental health honesty. I’ve been feeling so creatively stunted (and honestly emotionally disassociated). It generally makes me feel better that successful people feel like I do.

[@mckaylag8967]

I’m right there with you. Hopefully we can both feel better soon!

[@mckaylag8967]

I’m proud of you for doing something while not doing good mentally! I just lose interest in everything I love to do. Keep making amazing art!!!

[@abbywolf8152]

tip: paint background color over the tape then paint normally on top of it to seal the tape and stop leaking

[@mandmrocks533]

As someone who is also struggling with their mental health at the moment, I just want to say that I'm proud of you!

[@miles_quartz]

agh hearing people talk about their partners always makes me smile even if it's just casual :,) so cute i also loved the super honest and down to earth intro , seeing people in the same/similar situation as you is super reassuring, congratz on taking charge of the day with some craftz

[@life472828]

I love that you put steps in to make this craft accessible to all. I know as a kid finding and using a ruler was tough so to have that tip about the paper and string was top notch. Also the effort of making those paint by number keys was really really cool. 🙂

[@NyleGames]

I was also feeling down, but your videos are always very chill and safe so I feel a little better. Thank you for the video! ^_^

[@kitt3528]

This is insane.... 7 years ago you were the reason I started drawing.. as an 11 year old, you were my creative outlet and I loved your content so much. I haven't seen your account since as my hobbies and interests shifted. I got more into heavy japanese anime and I felt I learned as much as I could from you. I now sell art and draw all the time and I can truly say that is because this art account. Now as an adult, this video popped up on my youtube recommended and my jaw dropped. Watching you be so open with mental health is so refreshing because you were real back then and still are so genuine now. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING

[@GymGirl88]

Yay focusing on art rather than KZbin! Love that for you

[@foundriartistry2233]

I just got my chewy plush and IM IN LOVEEE. It’s so adorable, and brings me joy whenever I look at it!!

[@supitzsash_76]

Glad I'm not alone in feeling great mentally, but it also bums me out you feel the same. But, I'm glad that we are both using painting and minecraft as a coping mechanism! Much love, Echo

[@janiceknight6027]

Wow! A lot of work went into making this doable for your viewers. You are so awesome.

[@NerdFamVlogs]

I'm right there with you. I even told my husband that I think we need to adjust my meds. Anyway, my kids love this and want to do it. I screenshot the images, so I can prep them.

[@zebrasonice4102]

"Doing thing all for the sake of being happy"... sounds like a good time.

[@PeanutSpring3]

I feel you. Its been a struggle recently

[@rogueai9034]

You can use a gesso to pain over the tape and then use the colour you intended to paint. That way the colour will stay on top and once you take off the tape the lines will come out better. It's an art hack I saw on tiktok and I have been told it works.

[@haileycampe1495]

I once painted a foam block from Michael’s as half grass block and half tbt block for my cousins birthday. It would have been a fun experience if I wasn’t working a lot and committed to making a highly complicated dessert for the party. I stayed up for hours to finish this thing. He loved it so it was all worth it but man was it stressful. Hope you’re doing better mentally 😊

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

I hope you're feeling better. 🙏 I find getting hands dirty is a pretty good way to get my head straight, my prefferd way to do this is by getting my fingers in dirt and planting something, but paint works too when the weather is not suitable for gardening. 😊

[@jorjcattocotti5405]

Im sorry to hear of you not feeling well I hope all is well you are truly one of my favorite youtubers and I wish you all the best. Take all the time you need to get better and dont worry with how amazing you are none of you followers are going anywhere were here for both your ups an downs an to help support you.

[@kkarma211]

Hey echo. I wanted to leave a comment, with the hope you see it. Ive been watching you for what- 6 years now? You’ve made such a big impact on my art and me as a person. Your a huge inspiration to me. I love the vibe you have, and I’ve literally grown up with you. Awesome artist, awesome person. I hope your feeling better, truly.

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

I know those feelings. My ADHD is not fully under control and I got into that kind of state a couple of months back. I find the best thing to do, first, be honest about your mental state with yourself and others (check). Second, let go what you can't handle and try to get some help with that slack and instead jump into something new to pick up from where you were (and, check, nice job!) Good luck.

[@parkymeg2353]

Echo my love I’ve missed you. I used to watch you a lot when I was down and you made me smile. I got worse and stayed off KZbin and was never able to do anything for more than 5 minutes. I’ve started watching your videos again and they make me feel a lot better. Thank you lovely :)

[@imnotverysocial.]

thank you for sharing this with us I hope you're feeling better, skelanimals at hot topic is selling a black and red striped hoodie with a cute bat skeleton patch on the front! I saw it and instantly thought of you

[@zuzanna2664]

Thank you for sharing your creative with us even when you’re down and thank you for being an advocate by being so open- I hope you get some relief soon! I so love little square canvases in sets for decor and this could be a fun spin on them.

[@astridmyst]

Dang I don't know how you did so much mathing and planning while struggling. Seriously impressive and I love the paintings! I hope you feel better now.

[@drinkbooks]

Hurray for doing a thing! It doesn't matter what is the thing, just do the thing! I hope you feel better soon!

[@Kabluey2011]

The world has been quite draining for me also. I've only written a chapter this year 😞 but your videos make me happy.!+1000 awesome points for pushing through the suck. It'll get better soon 🙏

[@Rhian370]

Hope your mood elevates soon. Got my chewy in the mail today, so adorable! Love the little bag it came in too!

[@jen6594]

I'm glad you managed to get up and going, I know how hard it can be sometimes. I'm also thankful that you shared your time with us, even when you're not feeling your best. Just remember that it'll pass, you managed to beat depression this day. Plus created some cool art, and who doesn't like minecraft. Sending lots of love and awesome points 😉

[@amybaker5241]

Same here, slowly coming out of a year long rut, found the right doctor and right combo of meds. Now I'm struggling cause I really want to oil paint, watercolor and acrylic paint and can't chose what to do 🤣

[@heathercampbell9378]

I'm going to give you 630000 awesome points for demonstrating strength and resilience whilst you are having a tough time! It's important to push yourself sometimes to do something when you are down and doing something you love is the best thing! Stay strong and hang in there! I'm off to go buy some square canvases and paint my fav Minecraft blocks!!! 😍

[@YTsucks300]

I'm glad you're feeling better. It's good to see you. Thanks for sharing your art with us ❤️

[@PixiePrincess501]

I'm also feeling down and painting really is good therapy. I hope you'll feel better soon :3

[@weeaboojones5688]

Honestly had no idea you and JoCat were a thing, what a wonderful crossover of two amazing youtubers ❤✨

[@TyphonMar]

Take it easy, good idea getting into a project, it looks great!

[@doggoo.dogger363]

They came out really good!! Very epic

[@cheese_priest]

Oooh! Would love to see some of the paintings you're doing down the road

[@undeterminedmushroom752]

I see that mushroom poster in the background I love it

[@Forcemaster2000]

I hope you're feeling better today! :)

[@chaseb6243]

I'll be honest, I started to break down within the first minute. I'm going through a really bad divorce and it's taking more of a toll on me than I initially thought. I don't know if I'll bring myself to do anything today but you sharing this has helped me realize that just doing even the tiniest thing is doing something. I hope you are feeling much better. I appreciate you so much for sharing this 💜

[@v1rusalert619]

i hope you feel better soon Echo! sincerely i really do

[@AvitheTiger]

There is something just so... chaotic and by extension chaotically alluring about that thumbnail that I

[@QuentinWes]

Another method for situations where canvases are full inch widths (as yours was), is to measure that many 16ths of an inch per square. 12/16ths makes each of your squares 3 quarters of an inch. Its very specific to things that need to be split into 16 but ive done so many minecraft projects its just ingrained in me to do it this way

[@firefightingdrumstick]

i love your personality and im so inspired by this

[@elainechaput2712]

Smart 👍🏽Standing desk.

[@joyjohnson8776]

I love awesome points, thank you for my awesome points. I missed you.

[@MelI-zm9lj]

I'm proud of you Echo. Keep pushing through.

[@SunstormSolo]

Between this video and the stream the other day, you're making me want to get back into Minecraft :)

[@SystemofEleven]

Echo: "If you show this to a 13 year old, they will probably recognize this image." Me: *definitely didn't graduate college half a decade before getting into Minecraft* ... >.> XD Sorry to hear that you've been in a low spot lately. I'm glad you have stuff that can lift you up, temporarily or otherwise. Take care of yourself, and thank you for letting us watch you make the thing!

[@midnightrainbow6299]

First time watching your channel. Art is a good therapy and way to relax when your having those days, I'm glad that you were able to have some fun while having a challenging time. The minecraft paintings turned out super cute. Hope to see some more Minecraft paints soon! Also hope that you come out of the funk soon.

[@monith9496]

Fredric Chen (used to be ThatMidgetAsian) actually painted a 3D Minecraft dirt block a few days ago.

[@ScuubaSteefe]

Hope you feel better now. I'm sure jo loved the artwork, you did a great job ❤️

[@mirag3304]

always happy to get my echo awesome points.

[@supersaz78]

This was a great video thanks so much! My wee boy (well he’s 10 so not that wee!) loves Minecraft & I’m definitely going to do this with him Hope you are feeling better soon and it’s great you felt able to get to the shops and do your fab painting - love you and your videos xx

[@xarzneimittel8220]

This video made me feel better 💕🥺

[@supercat2777]

A ton of love for you wonderful 😻😻

[@X1Vampi1X]

I definitely want to try this, thankyou for the awesome tutorial! I hope you feel better soon, I know how it feels to struggle mentally, take the time off you need to get in a better space :)

[@Wince_Media]

Wait... you and JoCat live together!? That's so cool!

[@bugsysoc]

I wish you all the best! Do whatever makes you happy! I am doing this right now, but with Inscryption (a really good game that you should try). I have drawn so many "custom" cards lol. ❤🖤

[@matthewhaley3674]

Hope you are doing well. Not sure if youve heard of the enneagram but learning about it helped me a lot.

[@zerex_vii]

Lots of love, Echo ❤

[@knate44]

Drinks also make me feel better. Wishing you and your brain the best.

[@BelindaShort]

Washi tape isn't great for canvas, you have to be able to burnish the tape all the way down for a clean line and washi tape is pretty light adhesive, and well canvas is textured.

[@emilysmall6759]

relatable content /nod

[@mrs_eagles_arts5112]

i love you and jocat being adorable and cute

[@butterbun7033]

*Echo:* I'm having a bad mental health day and want to do something fun *Also Echo:* proceeds to personally make...a color by number? To paint a minecraft block...t w I c e All irony jokes aside, I hope you start feeling better. I know it's a common youtuber thing but don't feel pressured to make content if you genuinely are not feeling well in mind or body. No one will mind I promise, we've all been there and we're all only human! I hope you have a great day!

[@reaganorton1710]

I love this

[@thepoetjean]

Fun video! Hope your brain is less crappy now! Also YES fruit drinks make everything better! I just tried that particular flavor on a snack run! Surprisingly good & refreshing! 🍉🥤

[@SnarkNSass]

🎨 🖌️🌟✨

[@SycoFoxII]

Ahhh! JoCat sighting!

[@kateharrelson709]

I haven't finished the video yet but I had to point out we have matching Seth squishmallows!!!

[@rainshadowgamingart2236]

the idea that you just have to like, force yourself, to do anything is legit. mental health is exhausting.

[@terrysbookandbiblereviews]

Awesome video!

[@winterburden]

Cool!

[@turnthedice]

Love your content 💗💗

[@celeneparker7898]

“Hey, you have some dirt on your wall” lol

Aye Bebe, good work!😁🤙🏻

[@alexsalamander4251]

echo you are so cool

[@fatesrival]

🤗 I hope life brings you more joy soon.

[@pauramigon707]

[@houseplant8540]

I didn't know you lived with jocat, he's a cool fella Edit: dating is just as much a vibe

[@finderfinder100]

Well if someone needs a timeout just put them on the desk and up it goes.

[@SuperDuckyWho]

I've been dealing with my extreme anxiety by rebuilding an ancient city... that is until I found out there's a fkn SAUNA that I DIDN'T GET IN MY ANCIENT CITY! >:(

[@mossyroots6631]

When you started talking about inches my metric system brain went got confused. I still find it weird that you guys don't have a measurement smaller than an inch.

[@jimiwills]

There aren't enough like buttons

[@samantaburgos5380]

Cannot understand the point 😬 still I love your videos

[@swlewis07]

Echo I think you are a very amazing beautiful lady

[@Me-xo5tw]

Pretty sure that’s a grass block

[@thedukeofweasels6870]

OK but technically that's a grass block not a dirt block

[@thisisfallacious9463]

*cough cough* hunchback *cough*

[@Adamant_Adam]

Oh shi early gang

[@eztay3699]

Hello echo and have you thought about starting your own podcast and starting your own vlog channel on youtube and starting your own tiktok account and starting your own discord account and starting your own patreon account in the future / have you thought about live caming on adult website and shooting adult movie in la for adult company and starting your own phub account and post your own videos on it in the future

[@starpoop2173]

next time you use tape to mask off an area to create crisp lines. paint over the edges of the tape with the base color (in this case white). let it dry completely. that should create a barrier so what you paint over that shouldn't seep under the tape
