As someone who abandoned their fashion design dreams to pursue something more secure (finance) I'm eager to get drawing again. Your videos are highly informative and valuable so consider me subbed.
Hi Zoe, you mention in this video that no one will wish to watch an hour-long RU-vid video well lovely Zoe it really depends, because if it is you teaching the marvellous skills of The Art of sewing and so much more you share on your channel I definitely watch and longer than that, you underestimate the passion your viewers have. Thank you so much, Zoe, for all you share. Kind regards
thanks a lot for putting such amount of dedication into your videos! all of your videos are very helpful! also thank u very much for the details explanation and the recap as well👍👍👍👍
Never really been interested in fashion design, but you illustrate your content in a way that it's beneficial to all sorts of art ! this really helped me add a lot of depth and interest in a piece ive done recently and im extremely proud of it !
I'm not even into fashion(just an artist) and I am thoroughly impressed! You are a great teacher and you really know your stuff! I'm going to watch all your videos! Thank you for your generosity!
This was the most helpful video I've seen yet. I just invested in a 200 set Prismamarker to start coloring faster (was using water colors previously) and how in-depth, above and beyond you went in this tutorial has really helped someone like me understand how to color correctly. I'm obsessed with your videos now. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to share your knowledge with us, I really appreciate it. You are amazing!
I LOVE your videos! I went to college for Fashion Design, and this is way more useful. Now I'm in university studying textiles, and hoping to actually find a good job in the industry to do with sustainable fashion, and it's been... a struggle. You're keeping my motivation very high and your videos are super accessible and fun to watch. Thank you so much Zoe! :)
Thank you! Good luck with your studies! I think knowledge of sustainable methods is becoming increasingly important in the industry! Have you seen the documentary "The Next Black"?
Thank you very much. As for watching an hour long youtube video, I do it all the time watching the Art Sherpa videos. :D The longest I've watched was almost seven hours and we had a blast watching that live, so bring on the long tutorials! :D
Yes it does. :D She is where I heard about your channel so I came to check it out. I'm not a fashion designer or anything but as an artist I often have to paint clothing and Cinnamon said you are on point for that so here I am. :D
Thank you so much for sharing! I use your video's for my interns, but now I have given myself a week off I really enjoy getting into more drawing for fun again. Usually I make a quick sketch, that works for our studio. But long, long ago I started in fashion because I loved to draw and making dolls on my room. I brought my sketchbook to family visits and filled the sundays sitting at aunts tables just drawing princesses and brides. Kind of funny that I am getting back at that stuff right now. Although I was trained in drawing, I lost it a bit, and I am amazed that knowing so much more on making clothes with different fabrics are such a help to draw details. I love your video's, there is so much knowledge in them and they are so helpfull and funny too. I hope you liked being in Amsterdam a little while ago. Good luck with THE book.
Hello, I'm new to your channel, and btw, i love it. Can you make a video about your collection of all your markers, your pencils, your papers and whatever you use to ilustrate? Please!
How would you render sheer fabric that has a opaque lining on the inside? I want to render a dress for my college portfolio but can't figure out how to get that depth that you see between the sheer fabric and the lining behind it.
Thank you. I never write any comments (this one is my first ever on youtube) but I really wanted to let you know that there are people out there (or over here :) ) who are grateful for people like you - that are willing to share their knowledge! Tusen tack! / Sweden
Hi Zoe, I LOVE your videos! You are such a great teacher, thank you for the time you put into it. I have a question that is a bit hard for me to put into words but I'll give it a go anyway: you know how in your videos about drawing figures you recommend flipping the page because the brain gets used to the drawing so we can't find our mistakes? Well, I experience something similar but different when drawing "effects" like shadows, shine, sheerness etc. during the process of drawing I'm so focused on the details of it that my brain looses its ability to see the effect - instead of looking like shadows, shine, sheerness everything looks to me like spots of paint (just like I drew them) and I can't seem to switch it off. Do you get what I'm trying to say? Does it ever happen to you? Do you have a solution how to deal with it? (it also happens to me with others' drawings, like with this video, in the thumbnail the clothes looked sheer to me but after I saw the video, it's like I discovered the magic trick and it looks to me like areas of different colors and tones...) Hope I was clear, thank you!
Hello! I'm sorry but I've never heard of your experience before and therefore don't have any answers for you. Sounds to me that you would make a good teacher if you're able to see something and break it down to its elements.
I don't illustrate on Photoshop, I do have Photoshop intro video in the queue for some basics and mood board collaging stuff. (I illustrate in illustrator, and I have a few basics videos in my "On the Computer" playlist.)
these videos are so thorough, i mean i'm in fashion school and our teachers hardly skim the surface of all the details you share with us. thank you so much!
oh my gosh, zoe !! i've been watching your videos since i was about 13 and im 16 now and doing clothing and textiles in highschool. as a 13 year old i remember stumbling across your fashion figure videos and ive been practicing on and off since then. they're not perfect but i'm improving !! i'm so grateful to you because now that i do this as a subject, my teacher requested that for summer's homework, we draw 10 figures and do 10 outfits. thanks to you, i'm the only one with experience and im ahead of the class !! i've been all over your videos and pinterest these past couple of days, brushing up on stuff and learning how to render new fabrics and illustrate new textures. i can already tell my teacher is going to be impressed. i owe it to you
hi Zoe .. thank you so much for your amazing videos .. I learned alot from them .. but I wanted to ask you something .. I always have a problem on illustrating white fabrics and black fabrics in general whether it's shinny or not .. can you tell me how to do that .. thnx in advance 😃😃
hi...I have to tell you that you are super cute...actually I am a beginner in sketching...I don't know anything about sketch but I want to sketch...can you make videos on making simple dress sketch(without marker) to complex one step by step and also plzz make videos slowly it doesn't matter how long video is...I hope you will make videos for beginners... I have subscribed you and I have faith on you...love from India!!!!!
I am an addict of your videos :-) THANK YOU!!! I wonder if you have somewhere a video on rendering BLACK SHEERS.... (I am very new at this... can't find the right marker..)
I'm a Fashion Design student and this is literally the best thing I've run across. I have trouble illustrating garments and I'm trying to practice and gain more knowledge and I have just run across a gold mine in your channel! thank youuuu so much!
I wanna see what your pen/pencil collection looks like! You're pretty much amazing. Thanks for the tutorials. As a newbee I'm stoked to have come across your channel :)
Your videos are so easy to follow! they really helped me out with the sheer fabrics and such. Whenever I try to make a sheer dress it's so complicated because I don't really know how to make it look transparent and I try to look at photos to guide myself but this video really helped me out a lot !! Thank you and please keep doing what you do ,cause you're really good at it !! :)
I just found You’re Chanel and I just had to subscribe! Ton of knowledge! Ton of confidence! Ton of good sense of humour,wittiness,talent,beauty..so just had to...💝💐💝💐💝💐💝💐💝💐💝💐💝💐💝💐💝💐💝💐💝
I appreciate this so much because i was trying to do a painting and if i had your talent it would have been spectacular but i will surely keep trying and i did learn a lot from this so thank you.
Hi Zoe. My name is Caro. I am studying fashion design. I Love your videos on RU-vid. I learn a lot for them. I would like to know if there r free illustrators apps u can recommend me to use? I have looked into Adobe illustrator and thought it was free but .... I am cannot afford much right now.
Hello ! I had a question , does it work with "Graph'it" markers ? Because they seems to be so opac on the paper I can"t make it ! Maybe it's the paper though , is it okay with Canson paper ? thank you for all your videos you're great !
Hello Zoe, how are you? I need a little help, it's not related to illustrations but with markers. I'm used to use copics but I bought some prismacolor to do face details. I'm struggling to open the lids, it's just impossible and I'm hurting my hand a lot trying to do it. Sometimes I have to use my teeth to open, not a good solution, right? Could you give me any tip on how to make it easier to open these markers? Thanks in advance and happy new year
Do not use your teeth! I honestly don't know. I imagine marker companies try to make sure the cap seals tightly to prevent markers from drying out. Sorry!
Hi Zoey, thank you so much for your video which helped me to get an A in a sheer design project before. Now I have another sheer project but I have ran into a Dilemma, my skin tone and my sheer fabric are in very similar color, I've tried to choose different tones to exegerate the differences between skin color and sheer fabric color but it looked flat. Do you have any suggestions or new methods in rendering this? Thanks a ton!
can you do a tutorial on rendering sheer prints? I am trying to do a black and white stripe chiffon. Love your videos, super helpful thank you so much!
+ALANNA HARAGUCHI Sure, but the queue is really long and so that video won't come out until February. In the meanwhile, I suggest you watch my video on how to render print fabrics and sorta merge the 2 techniques.
I have a question, Zoe. So when you want to design a long Haute Couture dress with two different shades of sheer, is this method still the same? How can we make a dress like that be illustrated in 3D like your drawing? Can you make a tutorial about this question in the next "Sheer Fabric Series?"
The method is the same. Like, if I wanted to put a sheer blue skirt on top of the dress I rendered in the video, I would draw the skirt on top, and color the blues over what already is there. I can add it to the queue. Just a heads up, the end of the queue is currently at March/April.
Hey Zoe, you have no idea how many times I've watched this, and learned something I missed before. Can I ask what colour markers you're using for the skintones?
There really isn't a best medium. It's about finding the best medium for each project, or finding the best medium for the person. There are pros and cons to each.
+Bushy mini Hey thanks! Yes, you can see I start using different media in my more recent videos. I didn't want to start painting until I posted my Intro to Paints video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YhdA2sNw6n8.html And next week I'm posting another video using different media and will continue to moving forward.
This is so random, but you remind me a lot of Cristina Yang from Grey's Anatomy: you're Asian, you know your shit, you have a similar stature, you don't seem to take shit from anyone, and you're a great teacher.
