Fashion Illustration Tutorial: Sheer Fabrics

[@hexmaniacciaran]

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.

[@zoehongteaches]

+ciaranfitzgerald1 Thank you very much! Good luck getting back to drawing! Have fun!

[@lilialala9955]

Me too🥺 I always had a fashion design dream but I got scared it wouldn’t get me anywhere financially so I decided to become a psychiatrist :(

[@kathyvangogh4034]

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!

[@dilrukshichamila4554]

I found you for the first time and I love love LOVE your personality

[@LiliathRose]

I'm a hobby artist, and I found this incredibly helpful in learning how different types of fabric work for my own illustrations.Thank you!

[@milicaponocko5898]

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

[@zoehongteaches]

Greetings to Sweden and thank you for your kind comment!

[@88Ouellette]

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!

[@zoehongteaches]

Thanks for writing! I'm envious of your marker set! Have fun, good luck, #alwaysbepracticing!

[@A.chromat]

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! :)

[@zoehongteaches]

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"?

[@A.chromat]

No, surprisingly I haven't but I'm looking into it right now. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

[@zoehongteaches]

The whole thing is here on youtube. It's only 45 min but so good. I've shown it in my classes at school too.

[@nidanaeem3876]

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!

[@JessicaKayal]

same!!

[@minerva5025]

Hi Zoe, you mention in this video that no one will wish to watch an hour-long KZbin 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

[@sbtmirza329]

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👍👍👍👍

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome!

[@cassidysharp9236]

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 !

[@zoehongteaches]

Thank you! That's awesome! Yes, I have had students who are (non-fashion) illustration majors too.

[@starbuck8925]

A BIG THANK YOU ZOE for doing this tutorial on sheers! Truly amazing. Thanks to the person people who requested the video😊⭐️

[@sarahlongshore2605]

thank you so much. you helped more than any others I could find. because you explain it better.

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!

[@zoehongteaches]

You always totally crack me up !!! You are so fun!

[@zoehongteaches]

Thanks! I hope you're learning too!

[@janineeder3106]

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 !! :)

[@zoehongteaches]

+Janine Eder Thanks for your kind words and you're welcome! Good luck with your work!

[@georginawalker8531]

[@zoehongteaches]

You're welcome! Good luck with your studies!

[@georginawalker8531]

+Zoe Hong thank you

[@natalia-pz4cb]

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

[@zoehongteaches]

Good luck with your homework!

[@aislinngraves4291]

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

[@zoehongteaches]

I love Cinnamon! Time flies watching her!

[@aislinngraves4291]

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

[@andreahickling1368]

You are one amazing lady. Thank you for explaining things so easily xxx

[@marijkeBongers]

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.

[@zoehongteaches]

Thank you! I'm glad you found my videos helpful! Amsterdam was indeed wonderful.

[@AmandaKriti]

hi! this is the first video of yours that i am watching and i like that all your videos are really long.. it kind of makes me understand more

[@zoehongteaches]

+Amanda Kriti Thanks! Yes, at first I was really concerned with making them short and to the point, but more and more viewers tell me they like how in depth I get with the longer videos so I'm leaning in that direction more.

[@leggyReid4c]

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.

[@searlaitgolby6516]

[@alannaharaguchi3298]

[@sofiakvaternik6442]

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.

[@gabirose6099]

Your videos are so helpful. Thank you! Could you please do a tutorial on lace fabrics? :)

[@zoehongteaches]

+Gabi Bezuidenhout You're in luck! Someone else requested a lace video a while ago so that tutorial should be up sometime next month. Thanks for the compliment!

[@nancymartinez2860]

Hi Zoe, thank you for this wonderful tutorial.....very helpful as always. Can you do a tutorial specifically aimed at detailing lace? I am excited about the return of lace and other feminine patterns this fall mixed with more hard and heavy accessories........really fun to wear an to illustrate! Lace can b tricky for me to tackle in illustration......would love some tips! Thanks Zoe!

[@zoehongteaches]

I already have a lace video. It's in my "Illustrating Specific Fabrics" playlist.

[@BushraShahidKashif]

hey Zoe love your videos other then markers, can you please use other mediums for rendering.

[@zoehongteaches]

+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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5nHcmWpg9xppJo And next week I'm posting another video using different media and will continue to moving forward.

[@passsquad2091]

Hi! I love your video, I love how you explained everything! May I ask, what kind of paint are you using?

[@zoehongteaches]

+Katja Lexi Dragenkvinde Thank you!

[@jheath905]

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?"

[@zoehongteaches]

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.

[@jheath905]

Zoe Hong Okay. Thank you.

[@Thisisavantika]

I love your videos so much because they always inspire me to try fashion illustrations. But I have one question. What markers do you use?

[@zoehongteaches]

In general? I have a video on markers in the "Different Media" playlist. In this video? Prismacolor Warm Grey series.

[@neetabudhraja]

thank u for taking up this topic.. its th most challenging one.. is it possible for u to teach how th darts..fish darts..pockets n zipper attachments done on sheer fabric whn we are rendering..

[@zoehongteaches]

+neeta budhraja Sure. I'm going to a series on how to draw clothes on the figure properly and I'll included a segment on this topic.

[@neetabudhraja]

Zoe Hong 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😍😍😍 Thank u so much... i wl wait fr this series..

[@zoehongteaches]

+neeta budhraja You're welcome.

[@neetabudhraja]

[@chakreshkumar2654]

very very usefull vidios and knowledge you gave ..thank you

[@emmakelly5528]

If possible would you be able to show a photoshop illustration tutorial and just some of the basics

[@zoehongteaches]

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.)

[@shamsalsaad9990]

that's really​ helpful;)

[@rabthecab]

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?

[@karifry3670]

Zoe, thank you so much - love these videos! What markers are you using?

[@tianzhong6630]

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!

[@velouriaRocks]

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!

[@zoehongteaches]

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.

[@edithhowe488]

How would you do white sheers because there's no colour to put over the skin.

[@mayadaalsaffar876]

Thank u very much!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🌹

[@zoehongteaches]

[@jakevisconti1765]

[@zoehongteaches]

You don't need help! This is a healthy addiction! hahahahahaha
