Who are the 17 dislikes ????? She put a lot of work in her videos, is just sad that some people don’t appreciate it

[@misakistalker3058]

I love her videos

[@AshtasticAcrobat]

There’s always those few trolls that go around disliking videos.

[@seniorpz1969]

Trolls....pay them no mind...we're here for Zoe and she's here for us! that's all that matters ;)

[@apfelninja]

After years of study and discipline, the thing I needed to hear the most is right there at around 12:50, "Pull." That's the last piece of the puzzle. Thanks, Miss Hong. I'm gonna start applying to comic book jobs now.

[@foxybrown-eye7669]

I've just started a fashion design course and your tutorial was recommended by my teacher to watch. You explain and demonstrate things so well and clearly. Thank you for putting this content online. You are an EXCELLENT teacher! I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Big hugs from Australia.

[@Spitfireseven]

Lines of pull, gathers,.. these are concepts nobody else even mentions. Your explanations on fabric rendition are excellent, the best I have seen so far. Thankyou.

[@LadyJuliett94]

I've seen loads of tutorials about fashion illustrations but no one compares to you honestly! The way you explain everything to the details it's amazing and so easy to understand. I wish you could teach in my class thanks a lot for your efforts and videos you are saving my life ❤👍👍looking forward for more, bless 🙏

[@zoehongteaches]

Thank you for your sweet comment!

[@nievephoenix]

[@zoehongteaches]

Thanks!

[@ErinLastNameRedacted]

Crotch whiskers! 🤣

"Just shut up and do the thing." ~Zoe Hong 2016

[@zoehongteaches]

That's right. Hahaha~

[@r.g.36]

I'm putting this everywhere around my room, cuz my "brains" keeps talking & forgetting this!😅🙈💫

[@Alinedays]

My goodness your videos are great! I love them! I don't even know where to begin to tell how grateful I am for them! I have learned so much! Thank you, all the way from Brazil!

[@zoehongteaches]

Thank you! Greetings to Brazil!

[@bhanavimathur]

Zoe, your videos are like super long but in a good way because they're so damn informative! And everything makes sense unlike some others. I'm so glad to have found you since I've always been desperate to improve my drawing but never had someone as good as you teach me how to. Your channel is definitely Bible in that sense. xxxx

[@zoehongteaches]

thanks!

[@janhenry9733]

Not to worry! I'm so excited to find your channel. I appreciate this so much. I've always drawn flat and now that I'm sewing and trying to document my costume ideas for others, it's time I learn how to draw for real. So I'm here! And learning already. I like how you present it.

[@be7956]

I have worked in the industry and studied - I love watching your videos. So awesome. Thank you :)

[@Itsandinicole]

Your intro to this vid is my brain 90% of the time hahaha!! Thank you, once again, you are amazing :)

[@zoehongteaches]

Hahahaha! thank you!

[@shivanipriya7077]

Lol same. i feel like everyone in this industry is.

[@deedoubleu2611]

Please could you do a bit more on hem lines for skirts etc? Like the zig zag thing...

[@zoehongteaches]

Sure thing.

[@Arielapetraglia]

*excited*

[@chandalam7151]

I really love your way to explain and sketches thank u.

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome!

[@anaescobar9484]

You should not be nervous.... I personally look forward to learn something new with every video you post!!

[@zoehongteaches]

I'm glad you're learning!

[@goodolgang]

You're a badass. Talking about being nervous and promptly dropping all kinds of knowledge in such a relatable way.. like wow.

[@atefehhajiagha5500]

your videos are just perfection! They are just so informative and have such clear instructions. Thank you so much Zoe!!!❤❤❤❤

[@gost4995]

You are my absolute favourite, Zoe!! Your positive attitude definitely inspires me to want to be a better illustrator.

[@zoehongteaches]

Aw, thank you! I wish you all the luck in the world. #practicenotmagic

[@linnylinlinlin]

I was just sitting down wondering how to draw ruffles but now I’m watching all 5 parts of this. Humour and info are on point. Thanks for the help!

[@ashleycp77]

You make it so easy! I love your videos and how you take the time to explain and show, it's made my illustrations look soo much better. I really like your style of drawing and illustrating. And you make it fun and entertaining to watch so thank you for the videos and the time it takes you to make them!!!

[@zoehongteaches]

Thank you for all your compliments! You're welcome and good luck with your work!

[@siemlytailorshop4676]

Great

[@peggyriordan9857]

These drawing classes have been a huge help for me. They are answering my questions one by one! I thank you for having made all of these videos. It really demonstrates your commitment to the industry and a desire to help people become the best they can be within the industry. Thank you sooo much!

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome!

[@HeliumPurple]

[@monaeltobgy6606]

Hi Zoe , I'm a medical student from Egypt . Whole my life I wanted to study designing but I have to wait for those one billion years of my college to end 😃 I want to thank you soooo mush for helping me catching my dream . God bless you and your awesome videos ❤️

[@zoehongteaches]

Greetings to Egypt! You're welcome and good luck pursuing your dreams!

[@mahsasohbatzade]

I`ve recently finished your fabric related playlist and it was so efficacious to me. I`ve learned alot! And I`m also studying books that you`ve suggested. I just wanted to say thank you and i really appreciate your works on KZbin. my study routines have changed alot since I`ve found your channel:) xoxo

[@idrawcommonobjects]

Zoe, this lecture was amazing and so very helpful. THANK YOU!

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome!

[@rachelgreaves9639]

You are literally the best thing on KZbin. Thank you

[@neetabudhraja]

the best video zoe.. learnt all basics fr draping.. thank u so much... you have made it so simple.. earlier i had difficulty in giving crease lines n diagonal drape lines.. i wl try these in my dress tomorrow... 😊👍👍👍👍💕💕💕

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome!

[@absolutsista]

Hi Zoe, Always admired your work and style from verbal croquis... I’ve never considered illustration my strong point (I’m lazier than you ;)) and as a designer/illustrator having to communicate design concepts quickly, I gravitated to using Illustrator and Photoshop and a lot of tracing. Wanted to get back to hand illustration and knowing I need to practice I came to You Tube searching for motivation....so happy I found you and your tutorials only just found you today, so got a lot to practice to catch up on. Thank you for taking the time to post and Happy Anniversary!

[@cindyenglert.az51]

I so appreciate everyone of your videos!

[@zoehongteaches]

Thanks for all your kind comments recently!

[@artemisarojas9999]

Es la mejor profesora de Ilustración de Moda que he visto hasta ahora...

[@TheAlexander1st]

Jus thought about how in any and every tutorial about folded clothing, there hasnt been one person to say this very helpful tip. For clothing folding outwards the shading goes on the sides of the fold while when folded inwards the shading goes inside the fold....just a helpful tip for other beginning artists

[@ms-Prada]

That’s really helpful ..Learn while I enjoy watching All thanks, gratitude and appreciation for everything💕

[@cristinaguedesjimenez5668]

The best class I've seen until now. Thank you so much, Zoe. You're the best!!!

[@tittarina]

Brava Zoe, you're human, i appreciate! and really thank you for your lessons. i'd like my professors in politecnico had an approach like yours!

[@zoehongteaches]

Thanks!

[@r.g.36]

I swear, you have EVERYTHING, EVERY SINGLE drawing tutorial for anyone who wants to become a fashion designer, all the most important things to know and to be able to illustrate everything you imagine, even fabric texture😱😍💫, tutorials from drawing body to babric, even few tutorials on draping, pattern making & sewing! You are the best,😍🙏🖤, I had no idea about all these treasures you soo kindly and generously put out here, thank you for your time, kindness, generosity, understanding, skills, talent and knowledge you share with us. I wish I found you much much earlier😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 🙏😣😶. P.S. I always enjoy your little sweet rants/intros in the begging, it's kinda comforting and friendly, and doesn't scare the shit out of me as it happens sometimes, when I learn something new. 😅🙃😶🙏🖤

[@nadasalah1579]

Zoe Hong ...You know when I first saw your introducing video and you told people to tell you about any thing that they wanted to learn..I said OMG I will tell her about how to improve my drawing stuff as the problem is that I have inspiration.but un luckly I can't draw it..Then I open the videos to find you make full video about these stuff..The video is amazing ..Thanks Zoe

[@zoehongteaches]

Thank you! Good luck with your drawings!

[@LamdaMahryaArt]

Love your channel! You remind me so much of my Fashion Illustrations Professor in college.Thanks for being Awesome!

[@aminasharifzada]

Love it Zoe, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. After watching your videos I realize so many things

[@ZosiaOsowska]

watching your videos absolutely love it all! you are such a talent with personality. extremely helpful even for a beginner like me. go and practice-love that. you can’t become a master overnight.. thank you for sharing your knowledge☺️

[@DMO3RB]

Your videos are so helpful even though I go to fashion school

[@showerhead5238]

Love the video thank you - I am into art in general - I will watch the other videos for sure💯

[@BlacKWidoW70s]

This channel is a gem thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.....

[@cormeum5371]

i minecraft channel, commenting on fashion drawing videos. I love the internet so much

[@joserosales7219]

You are beyond amazing!!!! Totally helping me out with creating better sketches for my fashion drawing class

[@zoehongteaches]

Thank you! Good luck with your class!

[@mominrafiqui8995]

love your tutorials. please add a video of how to draw roses and bows and ribbons on dresses. I'm having trouble drawing them.

[@zoehongteaches]

Ok I'll add them to the queue. FYI the queue is currently a year long.

[@priscilleroy9865]

You explain this all so well, it is really appreciated!

[@melraff6578]

Can we just talk about how spot on her eyeliner is ...like how?...this was 4 years ago. Fashion forward won't cut this one Zoe. Where did you hide the time machine?

[@valef9163]

Thank you so much for all the time and commitment you put into your videos!!!! Love them by the way. As a new undergraduate fashion student starting in August, i really want to start getting my supplies before hand. Do you think you could probably do a video(or if you think it doesn't deserve a video, and maybe just a blog post on facebook or instagram maybe) on materials you advise students get, also the best brands for certain materials, the stores you advise we buy them at, and the little things that we sometimes wouldn't think of when thinking of supplies we need.

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome! I think you should go with the supplies recommended to you by your class/teacher. There should be a class required supplies list for every class you're enrolled in and the homework assignments will involve the specific things the teacher put on the list. So go find your supplies lists as soon as they're available. In terms of general recommendations, I have a video playlist called "Different Media and Materials" that goes over my opinions on different supplies. Good luck with your studies!

[@valef9163]

+Zoe Hong Awesome, I'll definitely be checking out the video. Thank you!

[@helenap518]

Love your hair up:) This was extremely helpful,clear and easy to work with.Thank you!

[@zoehongteaches]

Thanks!

[@mariamamr1751]

YOUU BECAME MY FAVOURITE ON YOU TUBE, SOOO THANKFUL FOR YOUR HELPFUL VIDEOS!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Why did i just discovered your channel now?!?! 😭❤

[@MaiMagoo]

Zoe where have you been all my life?!! love your videos, so helpful in many areas where I have been stuck. Now I'm energized to just "do the thing" :)

[@zoehongteaches]

Haha hello! Welcome to the channel. Now go do the thing! Good luck!

[@mariavitara5076]

I've only watched up to 1:50 of this video so far and I can't help laughing, you are amazing! Love you and thank you!!!

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome!

[@shabanahameed80]

you are a great teacher and really funny...thanks a lot

[@zoehongteaches]

Thank you and you're welcome!

[@jiayangrao4154]

Zoe you are so amazing. Your tutorial is the best ever, fantastic explanation is really useful. Thx very much.

[@jeandunne]

Excellent explanation. Very helpful. Thank you for taking them time to explain all of this information.

[@lilyjiang928]

This video is super helpful. Thanks a lot!

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome!

[@leeklein9011]

Hi dear. I'm in New Zealand. And I love everything about you. congratulations you are doing an amazing job so well done ♡♡

[@zoehongteaches]

Greetings to New Zealand! Thank you kindly!

[@melibusla212]

Lol, omg, right now I'm procrastinating on a few projects because my own perfectionism paralizes me, (we are our own worst critic, huh?) and you start the video by sharing the same feeling... Thanks, not only because of your awesome videos and thorough teaching but also for that encouraging sentence. Btw, if you need your videos captioned in Spanish, I'd be happy to help.

[@zoehongteaches]

Yes, we are so always our own worst critics!!! I did read somewhere that we could upload translations. Have you ever done that? Do you know how it works?

[@melibusla212]

Yup, you have to unlock the option somewhere in the video settings, it should be under "manage subtitles and closed captions" and then turn on the option for community contributions. I did a few for a school project (I'm studying to be a translator ENG>SPA (Latin america) and I started fashion design this year) I'm currently translating a video for a craft/sewing channel, it seems after I caption it, it waits for approval, from both KZbin and the author. I'll let you know how it goes. I think it should be awesome to have your videos in Spanish, my classmates found them very helpful but they don't understand English and they miss a few tips because of it, and also your jokes xD

[@zoehongteaches]

Well heaven forbid anyone miss any of my jokes! I mean, that's why y'all watch, right? Ha. I would love to have subtitles for my videos, but I'm afraid I can't pay you or anything. I mean, I don't make money from my channel either. (People keep telling to start putting ads up but I have to think about it.) Will you let me know how your current video translating works out? You can email me at [e-mail] if you prefer. Thanks!

[@melibusla212]

It's okay, I wasn't going to do it to get paid, I mean, I think your intention when you make these videos is to share your knowledge from the bottom of your heart, because it's your passion. My dream job is to translate art/craft books, it's a way to merge two worlds I love, which are translation and art. Sadly that type of translation is not popular where I live (art is underrated, I still get strange looks or silly comments when I say I'm in fashion school, haha) So I figured I should start with tiny steps, even if I won't get a job in this in the future. S o, making knowledge available for more people is a great way to start and spread good vibes :D I'll keep you posted by email.

[@zoehongteaches]

That sounds awesome. I wish I knew a second language well enough to do that. My Korean is only medium. I can read, write, and speak conversationally but my technical vocabulary is non-existent--I did all my schooling in the US and never properly studied Korean. I really do hope you can figure out a way to marry your passion to your ability to pay your bills. Yes, let's keep in touch.

[@Lisa-zt9jr]

Thank you so much. You are so skilled.

[@edisonfernandez4376]

Loved it!! It was really informative and helpful; just what I needed, THANK YOU. I'll be also on the line waiting for the evening wear's one. Love from the Dominican Republic! :)

[@zoehongteaches]

Greetings to the Dominican Republic! You're welcome!

[@Aicchio]

Thank you so much for doing the thing 😂💖 I'm so glad you decided to cause it did help me

[@zoehongteaches]

[@mayadestyle]

love this please consider starting an online design school! do have any books that we can further read up on for this.

[@zoehongteaches]

I'll think about it! I don't have a book I'd recommend, that's mostly why I do these videos, I don't have other resources I can point to for my students.

[@neetabudhraja]

also im waiting for drapes fr evening gowns... thanks fr taking up this topic.. i design evening dresses a lot.. and i do face difficulty in deciding drapes..

[@zoehongteaches]

Yeah, that video will come out in the fall sometime.

[@user-yy5jk5vx2e]

Please please please please🙏🏼

[@zoehongteaches]

Thank you! You mean like clear vinyl? You said "for rain coat and metal"--I understand the rain coats but what do you mean for metal? Do you have a link to a picture?

[@user-yy5jk5vx2e]

Yes! Vinyl! Colorful and colorless. And I mean also how to show metal surface.

[@zoehongteaches]

+Влада Осипенко Ok, I'll add those to the queue. End of queue is at next July. Yes, the queue is almost a year long right now.

[@hannahr4966]

At 13:25 I'm curious why the pull lines don't go from the top left of her torso toward the hip with the hand on it in the opposite direction? Visually what you did looks correct, but my brain would assume the high hip is pulling the top fabric toward it more than the back hip is pulling the hem of the shirt. Is due to the tight material? All your videos are great, but this definitely covered the details I understood the least. Thank You!

[@aanyabenipal742]

You are soooo very good at explaining 💯♥️

[@sofiegclausen]

@Zoe Hong For designing, you could argue that the sketch dictates what kind of fabric to use, not the other way around. So maybe it’s not always necessary to have the fabric picked out first, instead letting the drawing guide you to the correct fabric choice?

[@zoehongteaches]

In the industry, the standard, most common, most time and cost efficient way to design is to select fabrics first and sketch silhouettes with your fabric in mind. I teach industry common practices as often as I can. If you're an illustrator, not a designer, you can do whatever you want. If you're doing a one-off design, you can do whatever you want.

[@nooralhaddad381]

Love your videos 💕 I’m learning a lot Keep it up 👍🏽

[@chrisbeales5039]

God Bless You Zoe !

[@sarahlongshore2605]

wow!!! this is such an awesome video !!! you just have a natural way for getting the information through!!! you have no idea how much help you've been! !! (could you add a man's suit to the list??? please. ) :)

[@zoehongteaches]

I will definitely add drawing a man's suit to the list for you. :D

[@zoehongteaches]

:D

[@mv2271]

I was going to asks for this video lol 😂. You look cute with your ponytail

[@zoehongteaches]

Hope the video helped you! I didn't really like the ponytail but people keep saying I look good with my hair up so maybe I'll keep doing it...

[@deeknits]

Lol…ok, off to watch part one 😂

[@theplantabaja]

what I really love in your illustrations and all the good drawings (including toulouse lautrec for example) is the stroke, the lively stroke of them. As if the movement and rhythm were impressed in the preasure you put in those strokes. THAT is really difficult to achieve... And it really makes the difference in comparison with regular ilustrator drawings... I suppose drawing from life, training helps? ??....because the problem with photos is that sometimes the stroke/line looks rigid, dead (this happens to me, but I saw this also in others) So, Any suggestions to improve the "caligraphy" stroke, gesture? THANKS FOR all.

[@zoehongteaches]

I had planned a future Wednesday video on line quality. I have quite a lot to say about it so stay tuned for that video.

[@anoukvangijtenbeek2866]

Hi Zoe, I am a big fan of your down to earth, clear and very helpful video's. I am designing a lot of draped jackets and hoodies in black with PU leather and mesh fabric for men. Do you have videos that are about these features? Stay awesome! Thank youuu. Anouk

[@zoehongteaches]

Well...let's see...I suggest you watch all the drawing clothes series, and the men's figure drawing series, and if you're designing, I suggest you watch the series on drawing flats, and the tech pack series.

[@alejandrogangotena9033]
