Don't call me. I hate the phone.
I just discovered you and your channel during this quarantine, and thank you!!! I have always struggled with rendering because my professors teach with paint, but I love markers and colored pencils. This is so helpful!
You're in luck, I have lots of marker tutorials!
So glad I found this, exactly what I was looking for. I made my marker chart today and I can’t wait to watch your other videos.
Ms Hong thanks. I have grand kids staying with me. You engrossed them you have inspired them. Now my work room is a treasure chest . You inspire. Thank you.
That's fantastic! Have fun!
You are a goddess! Since I was in 2nd grade I wanted to be a designer. I wanna let go of my pre-law degree so I can pursue but my folks are gonna kill me. I practice a lot in the meantime and draw a lot and learn a lot from you. Thank you Miss Zoe!
Thank you! Yes, just keep practicing!
You are walking me every step of this journey. Thank you

You are the real MVP Zoe
Just found your account and very recently got the urge to take fashion design/illustration seriously. Your videos make it for simplistic and achievable results so thank you so much!! 🖤🖤🖤
Zoe ma'am, you are such an amazing teacher. i enjoy watching your videos. I am designer to be but wanted to be an illustrator. I really love your videos and you too :))
Thank you! Good luck with your work!
Thanks for the information you provide. The color you are wearing is beautiful on you.
I love your work don't ever stop you have helped me in colors the shade/value thanks
I wish I had a teacher like you in my college...
By the way nice video Zoe. Thank you.
wow! so organized! Thanks for the tips.
So loved your comment, “Nobody cares” what Miss Fuss prefers for her markers...get over it and get going. Essentially, grow up, conquer your inadequacies/fears through knowledge/skills. It’s amazing what y can achieve if you quit sniveling.
Thanks for the worthy informations I'm learning a lot from you 💜
Love your videos 💕
I’m learning a lot
Keep it up 👍🏽
I thought I was the only one who loved the smell of Chartpak markers :D Great video, subscribed!
Oh yes, love that stink! Thank you and welcome to the channel!
Zoe, you are awesome, im wondering if you can share some tips or photos on how you store your markers and supplies for convenient access and visibility. The supplies tend to overwhelm me and I am trying to find a system of storage that would be efficient and specific to the type of medium.
Ok, I will add a studio tour/storage video to the queue. FYI the queue is a year long right now.
That helped my confusion as to where to start, as I tend to be like a kiddie in a sweet shop, just grabbing everything at once 🤣🤣🤣. Thanks Zoe
I definitely feel like a kiddie in a sweet shop sometimes. I love art supply stores so much.
Nice tutorials from Zoe Hong
can you plz make a video of how to draw different pieces of clothing?? and all of ur fav supplies that you use? (btw i love ur videos)
Go see my Drawing Clothes on Bodies and Fashion Vocabulary playlist. Fav supplies are in my Different Media playlist.
I saw this video pretty late but i love your methods.
Which paper base do you use for markers?
You helped me take a step closer to my dream. I wish I knew you earlier. Thank you
I waana become fashion designer and all your video's will help me love you .
I am 14 and ur video's have inspired me sooo much tht i have decided to become a designer 2 😍🤩
Good luck, work hard, and don't give up on your dream
@@just_cade thank you 😊😊
Great lesson!!!! Thank you.
Useful video as being a total newbee to the world of markers. More specifically, I’m looking for markers (that stay wet long enough?) to be able to make nice transitions and gradients within same colours or to different colours. Purpose: creating facepaint and bodypaint charts. Any tip welcome...😊 I already checked the review on W&N pigment markers, it’s too much fuss I fear, can’t go smudging all with finger, need precision... greetings from Belgium. X
It's more about the paper. You'll have more work time on marker paper than Bristol or cardstock.
Thank you for the advise! I also checked info on Chameleon markers. In the end, I will follow your tip: go to the store and test different markers on different papers...when they re-open after lockdown that is. Thanks for making great tutorial videos 👍🏻
🙌🙌🙌thank you
Great video content and amazing tips.Thanks.
You're welcome!
This is so helpful! Thanks!
+Ken Cheng You're welcome!
Hi pls respond i wanted to ask what was the prismacolor red that u used in 6:20 and also what copic color did u use in 7:18
Hi. I am from Iran. You have no idea how much useful you video for me. May I ask pc and pt are stands for which brand?
Greetings to Iran! Glad you found it helpful. PC is my shortcut for Prismacolor and PT is for Pantone Tria (which are made by Letraset).
Zoe Hong thank you. I got it😊❤️❤️
Hello 😃 where did you buy the markers case?
Hello Zoe do you happen to have videos on the various fashion diploma or degree programs offered at various fashion schools around the world and what advice do you have? Is almost any fashion school okay? I am enrolling in a fashion academy, probably not an eminent one, but nonetheless,...
Should I try markers for Plein air technique?
Why not?
Hello zoe i love how you teach and every video is helpful thank you so much...if i am a beginner so can you help me what is the material that i have to have? And what about markers? And pencils and colors etc...and is it better for me to watch your videos in order? I mean as a beginner...thank you so much
Hello! It's hard to answer your questions without knowing you at all, but I would recommend you start with watching my video playlist "Different Media and Materials" which has videos all about different markers and paints, etc. I have all my videos organized into playlists, so I would go to my playlists, find the category that you want to learn first and then watch them in the order I put them in. As a beginner, after the "Different Media" videos, I would watch the figure drawing videos. I have separate playlists for male and female figures. Good luck and welcome to the channel!
Hi (again) Zoe, is there a reason you don't shadow the marker color with a second overlay of the same marker? Is it not dark enough?
Yes, I don't think it's dark enough. Some people like the more subtle look though.
Super helpful! Thank you 🙏🏽
you're welcome!
Hi will u teach complete course personally
Great video again!
Thanks!
Amazingggg one 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you so much ❤️🍬🌹
You're welcome!
Which colour are best for fashion illustrations water color or pencil colors, marker I'm very confused which are the best
Hi Zoe! Great video but I wanted to ask what is your opinion on Copic markers? I know they're expensive but I like the idea of a chisel and brush nib.
Copics are awesome! But yes, they're expensive. There are a lot of other great brands out there too that I love using.
What kind od markers do u use (mark) ? :) ur awsome
In your chart, what brand is PT? Also, do you like Feela, Touch and Winston&Newton?
PT is a now discontinued brand, Pantone Tria. I like Touch and W&N very much, I have not tried the TouchFive or other Touch offshoots or Feela.
what are these markers called? and where can I buy them?
Great Job
thanks
thanks! what about acrylics or other kind of brush painting? I have tones of it. the reason of using markers is that is more precise or fast? I have bought a mecanichal pencil as you suggested (although I have many of the regular ones) and this mechanical thing makes my life easier and my drawings more precise. Is that the big difference of markers vs brush painting?
Yes, markers are fast, they dry fast, you don't have to mix colors, you don't need a lot of tools. For quick sketches, you definitely want markers. Painting is awesome, it's beautiful, you can create so many looks with paint and you can mix any color you want without having to go the store to buy another marker, but yeah, you have to buy a lot of tools and wait for things to dry, etc etc. So I choose my medium for the end goal of the project.
What would you recommend for beginners?
Which sketchpens are those?! Can u please name them mam!!!😇
Hey what’s the brand name of the one in 9:15?
I have a question and if anyone has the answer please tell me I have a brand that I use a lot it’s called artist loft and I was wondering if that is a good brand to use?
I've been wandering for a while if it's really necessary to use markers for a fashion designer, or if it's possible to use just graphic tablets...
It's true that the industry is increasingly turning to digital means but learning how to do some quick sketches by hand will never be an unused skill.
Thanks this is so helpful
You are the best
Zoe do you use CAD or you love to drawing on paper when you work on illustration?
paper
Thank you! I have recently started rendering with markers & been looking for a guidance like this video to get right markers! I have tried several different brands but not the one has weird smell lol, been always curious about it tho. btw I appreciate of this video for being super helpful! :)
+Sungkyung Son Happy to help!
Hi Zoe:
Where did you buy the Copic brush tip and other markers?
dickblick.com
what marker brand do you like for skin tones, I have tried different colors but always go back to ad chartpak
I have skintones in every brand. I do love chartpaks in general.
Zoe can u use prismacolors for skin tones?
Yes. I have a skintones video in my Faces playlist.
Love from India
Hi Zoe. What's your opinion between copic and W&n
Go watch my The Brand Doesn't Matter video.
Daniel Lee use copic
Love your tutorials "They don't care on your damn excuses!!😂😂😂 very true Zoe! Especially in my brand the idiot owners expects you to make gold out of charcoal wtf!! I think you should make a video what brands to be BURN AND HAMMER by the torch of Elon mask...like jefree star burning brands that sucks! Peace just a suggestion😆😆😆🙏✌
As a tech theatre student I thank you
Professor Hong, can you recommend a marker for heavy handed people? I struggle with copics, prismas, and windsor newtons. =(
If you're struggling with multiple brands, I think you really need to work on your hand more than trying to find a special brand. Try changing the way you hold markers in your hand. Chisel-tips might work better for you than brush-tips. And stay away from Chartpaks.
thank you!
🌹🌹🌹🌹💖💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹
I love your videos, but it would be great if they had subtitles in Spanish 💕😁
Great upload, thank you. Brilliant video.I have really enjoyed watching it. 멋진영상 잘보고갑니다. 조금만지나면 아주 엄청 큰 유투버가 되실꺼 같은 예감이 드는군요. 진심으로 힘껏 기원 하겠습니다.
omg you are so cute!!!!!@
Kolor theory!! Not. 😮
Hola! Fiera Zoe Hongg
Do you know a site called Dickblick? It's where I buy my art suplies when I can't find what I'm looking for where I live. When you said that the copic ink refills cost $10, I was like "I didn't pay all that". So I think it's worth it checking their website, the copic sketch cost $ 5.24 each and the refills is $5. The only thing that kills me is the shipping cause I have to pay for the international, but if you live in the US, it shouldn't be a problem
Yeah, I don't really remember how much the refill was because it was so long ago. I do shop dickblick but thanks for watching out for me!
me: *cries in broke*
👁💧👄💧👁
I love the smell of gas station and cigarettes too
the best
