Mel (in description): “dedicated for those who like to hear me talk” Me : 👁👄👁 (I prefer talking vids because I tend to play videos in the background so I don’t always have the time to focus on the video visually😖) (I’m so excited for this vlog (I’ll have to watch it later)

[@smoleart]

LOLO yay!! :-)

[@christienguyen3613]

If ur himi miya gouache paints dries up u can add water to it then mix it well until there is no more lumps so it doesnt have a weird consistensy. Hope this helps. Love your videos its so calming🥰

I recommend doing what i like call the “IDEA BANK” i usually do it in the notes like the notes that is provided by ios it helps me alot i basically use it when i have the idea like wherever i am and like an idea pop up in my head then i write it down in my idea bank and later when i have time to draw i just go to the idea bank and take the idea from there to draw. hope this helps

[@un1puff]

[@anguswalsh6067]

Ahhh, finally a video updated when I can watch it right away😭I love how casual this feels, and I love the small part at the end when you talk!💞🦔

[@lola_incarnate]

Mel I wish you just put on all that 20 minutes of talking cuz there's always new things for us to know. And most importantly, at this point into your vlog series where we have passed almost all the technical stuff, we like to hear about your sticker journey, mishaps, random stuff abt life where you are. Love from Malaysia ⚘

[@nomiedc]

AHHH I really love watching people do my hobbies❤️

[@karleeslone9081]

You have inspired me so much to start my own shop! Thank you! ☺

Just a tip sculpy is a oil based clay do use baby oil or lotion to soften the clay

[@elixetiennesy2217]

I LOVE UR TALKING SEGMENTS!! URE SO CUTE

[@rae-ku6041]

Your videos are so calming

[@ciscoponch67]

What could help with opening jars is a rubber jar opener. Amazon sells them. Some are just a circular rubber cloth you put over top of the lid. And theres some that are cone shaped. Also, for eye strain, try using a different color drawing canvas. Other than white. Or use tinted eye wear. Or a glare blocker for your computers. Also, check out KZbin for tons of shadow perspective tutorials. Heres one of many: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bomvmKCfet10mNk

[@M78-h2j]

I love your art!! Don’t give up!! keep going❤️

[@aurorbis]

you are one of the most adorable artists i have ever discovered

[@sunshelleyseeds4834]

Ohhhh i always have a hard time opening the yuzu jars. What always works is if u take a spoon and place it right under the lip of the lid and pop it upwards it releases the tension. Hope that helps LOOOL 😁😁

[@smoleart]

sunshelleyseeds AH my mom ended up using one of the bulky knives to prop it out! LOL such a tricky jar

[@pavornwanpisutpiboonvong7988]

She is wearing a little puffy hoodie and listening to Dynamite. Im sobbing 🥺🥺🥺

[@valeruen4722]

missed this vlog but it’s 30mins ! & i used to not be able to open certain jars but there’s a hack whereby u take a spoon and slot it in between the cap and jar opening and sort of push the spoon to allow some air out !!

[@loneliness3707]

So pretttyyyyy😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍love so much i will support u no matter what ok love u mel stay safe 😘😘😘😘😘😘😗😗😗😗😊😊😊😊

[@rebecca6550]

i love your vlogs so much, they make me so happy and at peace ^_______^

[@smoleart]

AH thank you! truly the two moods i want to capture :-)

[@micheru2531]

Next time try running your tea jar under some hot water if you can’t open it. I’ve done that before and it helps to loosen the sugar caught in the twist

[@molly_tingler]

yesss i love your video sooo much!! Your so adorable 😇

[@johnbishopfineart]

[@seoulologyy]

For a jar that’s hard to open put it over the fire on the stove or if your have a candle lighter and heat it up and it loosens the cap making it easier to open. Hehe

[@smoleart]

teariffic ooh!! I haven’t heard of this technique before, I’ll keep that in mind for next time :-) thank you!!
