[@Igordeazevedocruz]

Zoe ... could demonstrate how to represent different black fabrics?

[@zoehongteaches]

This series is going to get there. I have to start with how to get different shades of black with different media for future lessons to make sense.

[@Igordeazevedocruz]

Zoe Hong here my art work that I still working on

[@lindacallas3525]

Thanks for this! I was going to request this!

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome!

[@dome_je]

I like to use the staedler mars lumograph 8b pencil for texture.

[@zoehongteaches]

Thanks for the tip!

[@nagiralasley5306]

What kind of paper do you recommend for this test or for marker in general?

[@rabthecab]

Funny you should mention crepe - I saw a guy wearing crepe trousers yesterday (the wide ones that kinda hang straight from the hips) & I thought "they look cool, but how would you render them? I know, I'll ask Zoe!" :)

[@zoehongteaches]

And now you can do them yourself!

[@rabthecab]

Zoe Hong Except I can't visualise how to show separation eg when 1 leg crosses in front of another in a walking pose :(

[@halfabee]

So much knowledge

[@chipmunks-eat-cheesecake2994]

Im sorry if I overlook it or didn't try hard enough, but I couldn't find a plaid video. Can you do one?

[@zoehongteaches]

I can put in the request queue but FYI the queue is over a year long right now. I do have a prints rendering video with goes over similar concepts if you want to start there.

[@phichultes1]

Hello Zoe! Its really necessary to use markers to illustrate wedding gowns with white or off white colors? If does what colors/brand I can start with?

[@zoehongteaches]

You color the dress whatever color you want with whatever medium you want. I don't understand your question. I have a video on tips on how to handle rendering white clothes in the Illustrating Specific Fabrics playlist.

[@phichultes1]

Actually I never used markers before and I want to start working with them. But I need to purchase some specific colors to start with, instead a bunch random colors that I never gonna use. I saw a video that you are rendering white fabrics using pencils, goauche and colored paper. My question is its possible to render white fabrics (opaque or sheers) using markers in a colored paper?

[@zoehongteaches]

Not really. I have a white marker from Faber-Castell but it's not opaque like gouache is, and is somewhat streaky. I still think you should go watch my Rendering White Fabrics video.

[@phichultes1]

Ok! I watched this series before and I was just curious about the possibility to render white with markers in colored paper... But thanks for your support!!! I'm preparing some drawings to show you in tumblr!

[@MariaRodriguez-jy6gu]

Hey Zoe what's the sharpener that is being recommended?

[@deniedbyjaj5792]

omg I love marker smell and petrol smell as well lol when a marker finishes I tend to smell the tip constantly . I don't even know why I like it 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@zoehongteaches]

the best smell!

[@jannellburton2966]

Awesome video even with just the core idea of color theory, but around 4 min, your voice over starts to go a bit warpy.
