Descending uses the same fingers in reverse order. Melodic minor descends in its natural-minor form.
This left-hand-only chart for C Melodic minor mirrors C major's shape with one flat, E♭, taking the third finger right at the start of the descent from the pinky — the crossover onto A still lands exactly where it does in the major scale.
Isolating the left hand here keeps the ascending fingering separate from the natural-minor form used descending, which is worth doing before trying to switch between the two forms with both hands moving at once.
Once the left hand's shape feels secure on the way up, compare it with the right-hand-only chart for C melodic minor or use the full tool to see the full ascending-and-descending scale.
