You have become my new guilty pleasure! Guilty because I should be up working instead of lounging watching you draw. A feast for the eyes and ears! ❤ Shirley
Excellent as always. I love the theory you share with us, not just drawing for us to watch. Both together help me get the most learning from everything you do. Thank you as always
Most people retain info better if they get the why along with the what. And I'm a big history geek so I love learning little things like the ticket pocket thing. You're welcome!
Ur voice is so calming and it helps with the whole thing. I am new to these kind of things and I am trying to learn more and honestly ur such a life saver
I draw a lot, but this helped me immensely understand what I'm looking at. Lol! Thank you!! I love that you know the lingo. "Don't do all three. Then you just have these flappy things" I laughed so much. *💜SUBSCRIBED*
Zoe! love your videos !!LOL in Australia , we drive on the other side of the road so it will be hard to "SLIDE YOUR HAND IN".......unless women drive to park the car !
Women can drive to park the car! I drive all the time! Mostly because I get car sick if I'm not the one driving and my husband doesn't. But still! hahaha
Thanks to everyone who joined me for my first ever Class Time. Hope y'all learned something new! Feel free to keep asking me questions and I'll get to them when I can!
In Dutch it is very easy to remember where the button needs to go. I learned "DROL" (turd) which stands for "Dames (Ladies) Rechts (Right) Over Links (Left). Once I learned that, I never forgot.
Hello zoe. I just started to take classes for fashion design and we have to sketch/draw blazer. Should I always start by drawing the body and then building from there? And should I trace the body first until I can do it on my own. Thank you for your time 😃
I loved that.. It came in the most suitable time I have a project "Jacket's collection" I can rely on this.. and thanks for all your videos, I really learned a lot usually I don't make comments but I liked to write you one now..
I'm so grateful for you and the work you put in those videos. You truly helped me get better skills and more confidence. I truly see you as a mentor lmao i hope you're doing well Zoe!
Zoe's video is all my fashion class online, best ever! I can find anything i wanted by google Zoe Hong, especially the drawing technique that's i haven't learned too much in the school. xoxo
Aw, man, I just realized my teacher's sitting in the car story doesn't work for anyone who drives a car with the steering wheel on the right hand side. D'oh.
Great video Zoe; if nothing else I've learned 2 things: 1 How to wear a suit properly (doing up the bottom button? Guilty as charged) 2 Why "parking" never really caught on in the UK :D
If you do another video on tailored jackets, one day, I'd love to see the differents types of shoulders. Cause I know how to sew/pattern them but not how to draw them on a 6/7 cms figure! :( Thanks, for all, Zoe, always learning with you! (I'm one of those who listen with a dedicated notebook, a coffee and my best pencils! ;))
You're welcome! If you know how to sew different types of shoulders, I recommend you take photos of the jackets (on a person) and draw what you see as much and as often as you can. That's really the best way. Start drawing a little bigger, and shrink down as you improve.
Thanks a lot, I've tried and get pretty good with your method! :)) I drew it big and then reduced it on computer, and I get almost my shouders! Thx from France! :)
You can, fashion rules aren't that strict anymore but if you're talking traditional tailoring, the only difference between womens and mens is the whole jackets closing left over right (men), right over left (women) thing.
Right? She was an awesome teacher. I still remember how she used to call butts "fannies"--"Zoe, dear, you gotta fix your fanny, what's wrong with this fanny?" omg. hahahahaha~
Hey Zoe! Great vid! Question: I know very well that we aren't supposed to button the bottom button (unless you want to commit fashion suicide), but why do they put them there if we aren't going to use them? Is it just for like (God I can't believe I'm saying this) "fashion" reasons?
Hahahahaha~ "fashion reasons" is totally valid! No, but seriously. It's about where you want the jacket break, how long of a lapel you want. Because the hems are pretty much set, you control the proportions of the jacket by adjusting the size of the opening by deciding on the # of buttons. You wouldn't want a jacket with a high break with a big buttonless empty space at the bottom half of the jacket. Looks weird. Make sense?
Hi Zoe, do you have any book recommendations on learning how to draw basic clothing for beginners? These videos are very helpful but they seem more appropriate for people with some drawing/design experience. As a beginner with no drawing experience (apart from some female croquis drawing), what are the first steps to learning how to draw clothes? Thanks for your time!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It has really inspired me to think more about design of tailored jackets. Could you possibly do tailored trousers as a continuation of this topic?
Hi Zoe! Love Sunday Class and the timing works perfectly for the Middle East!! 😬😬 I have a couple of questions: 1) I know we should be making our own croquis, however, I don't anticipate that I will ever become an amazing illustrator such as yourself...any reccomendations for really good male fashion croquis sold commercially...is that even a thing? 2) I'm very interested in men's fashion and learnt a lot from the small tips you mentioned regarding dressing "etiquette", any tips on good resources for that kind of info? 3) I'm having trouble understanding how fitted tops should be illustrated on men (without making them look too feminine) and also how loose or tight the sleeves should be around the arms... I know it's a trial and error thing (practice...) but any "rules of thumb" in this regard? Greatly appreciated!
2. I read a LOT. I read men's fashion blogs like www.fashionbeans.com and www.gentlemansgazette.com/clothing/. I also took costume history courses and worked as a men's fashion designer for old people who liked to teach me about how things were 'back in the day'. But try those blogs as a starting point, and pick up a book on men's costume history if you can.
The rule of thumb for drawing anything is to look at what you want to draw. Go look at pics of men wearing the kind of shirts you have in mind. Maybe the whole shirt doesn't work but you like the way the sleeves are, or how the collar is. Observe and draw. Also, when I feel things look a little feminine, I use a sharper, more angular line. How tight or loose sleeves should be is up to you as a designer.
Zoe Hong thanks for the blog suggestions! Will for sure follow...in terms of costume history, just bought (although very pricey) Farid Chenoune' s " A history of men's fashion" it's really beautiful and highly recommend it 👍🏾
one request please,If you can make a test paper to assess pattern drafting skills of a student or a designer ,also if someone is there for an interview as a fashion designer what would b your questionnaire for them? I would really want to give that test and go for the questionnaire to see if i qualify, so that i can assess myself,i would really appreciate if u could consider my request
These are not things I'm an expert in and I don't teach things if I don't know very very well. Usually a patternmaker doesn't take a test but brings patterns they made and the clothing made using those patterns. The actual work is the most important. With fashion designers too. Their portfolio and how well they fit with the company is most important.
hmm thank you for your reply, it was most likely for someone like me,i feel like i know my job,but then there are certain things i see and they make me feel i must go take some test for it,i see u describing technical details very very nicely in detail so i thought if u have to test someone how will you do it
How do we derive the silhouettes? My name is SUR. I am a Fashion Design at Pearl Academy, India. Actually, it is still not clear to me as to how I can derive silhouettes after I am throught with my mood boards and concept board. For example, if my mood is all very dark and mysterious and the concept is "NOCTURAL'. The activities that happen at night. Like a spy, like a ninja, etc. Now what and how will I make my silhouettes. If I say, " MY SILHOUTTES ARE BOXY"... Now what? I hope you get what I am trying to ask!!! PS. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
@@zoehongteaches i am, to be honest always super impressed when i hear people speaking genderneutral and i try to do so, too. And, I mean, you said that four years ago :o I don't know about the other parts of the world, but here in Germany this is a huge debate at the moment and I guess it's more difficult to speak genderneutral in German, but I think it is just so important...
GOOD MORNING and welcome to the first SUNDAY CLASS TIME! I hope y'all learn a lot!
Zoe Hong I am half awake lol
Coffee is your best friend!
You're the best, Zoe. I have you on while I'm working. You keep me motivated and I'm always learning something new.
You have become my new guilty pleasure! Guilty because I should be up working instead of lounging watching you draw. A feast for the eyes and ears!

Hi Zoe, I'm from South Africa, thank you for your videos you have no idea how much they help me. Mwah
Ur voice is so calming and it helps with the whole thing. I am new to these kind of things and I am trying to learn more and honestly ur such a life saver
I can sit and watch you sketch all day .
After 4 years I still love it as wonderful
i want to start fashion design as a hobby, and now ur my fav youtuber 💕
I draw a lot, but this helped me immensely understand what I'm looking at. Lol! Thank you!! I love that you know the lingo.
"Don't do all three. Then you just have these flappy things"
I laughed so much.
*💜SUBSCRIBED*
I am good with illustration but your technical drawing and fashion drawing are on point.
this is so very helpful. thank you soooo much!!! so glad to see this channel still growing!!! and happy late anniversary. I just celebrated 30.
Happy anniversary! 30! That's incredible!
Zoe! love your videos !!LOL in Australia , we drive on the other side of the road so it will be hard to "SLIDE YOUR HAND IN".......unless women drive to park the car !

I loved that..
It came in the most suitable time
I have a project "Jacket's collection"
I can rely on this..

I'm glad I could help!
I live for the "buttoning that bottom button" 😂
I'm so grateful for you and the work you put in those videos. You truly helped me get better skills and more confidence. I truly see you as a mentor lmao i hope you're doing well Zoe!
I JUST FOUND YOU!!!!!!!! YOU ARE AWSOME ON TEACHING! YOU ARE GIVING ME CONFIDENT!!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND YOU ARE FUNNY :)
Zoe's video is all my fashion class online, best ever! I can find anything i wanted by google Zoe Hong, especially the drawing technique that's i haven't learned too much in the school. xoxo
I like you and the way you teach. Keep it up please
Amazing video. Thank you so much, Zoe. Happy new year for you!!
Aw, man, I just realized my teacher's sitting in the car story doesn't work for anyone who drives a car with the steering wheel on the right hand side. D'oh.
That's Ok. Down here in Australia we drive naked anyway.
OMG PLANNING A VISIT THERE NOW
I knew I was living in the wrong country.
Zoe Hong Lets leave this country behind!!!
I'm watching! This is really cool! I feel like I am back in school
Are you taking notes?
Haaa notebook, pencil, eraser and coffee I am totally ready!
Great video Zoe; if nothing else I've learned 2 things:
1 How to wear a suit properly (doing up the bottom button? Guilty as charged)
2 Why "parking" never really caught on in the UK :D
Just 2 things? I must be losing my touch.
Zoe Hong No no no, I learned lots; it's just that, given my age (I'm 53!), those were the 2 things that stuck out the most :)
If you do another video on tailored jackets, one day, I'd love to see the differents types of shoulders. Cause I know how to sew/pattern them but not how to draw them on a 6/7 cms figure! :(

Awsome. Zoe thx for da video its detailed
You're welcome!
You are nice. Like your style, personal. Just what I looked for. ❤
8:30 - 8:35 lol 😂 you’re so crazy, but all and all it was a good video, thank you!
very useful tips for when we draw.
:)
How do you button 4 button jackets?
Love your videos 💕
I’m learning a lot
Keep it up 👍🏽
Your amazing I have a question , how do I line the suit pants up with the jacket
The great story works in my country. AHAHHA, I just love it
Best instructional story ever! hahaha
I love this video.Can u explain different type of pleat and ruffle how to draw ma'am?
I made that video already. Go look at my Drawing Clothes on Bodies playlist.
Love your video Zoe!
greeting from Malaysia.
is night here~hahaha
Thank you! Greetings to Malaysia!
please make a video of some collections of tops....
do blazers for women also have that lapel buttonhole?? this video is so informative and concise!! xoxo
You can, fashion rules aren't that strict anymore but if you're talking traditional tailoring, the only difference between womens and mens is the whole jackets closing left over right (men), right over left (women) thing.
I learned lots thanks mam
great.. can you make skirts and shorts vids next
great class! Can you make a second video about tailoring?
Thanks! What more specifically about tailoring?
Zoe Hong
Hi zoe ... suits, pants and jumpsuit?💙
Like tailoring like sewing stuff or more drawing videos like this one? I don't do sewing videos.
Zoe Hong more drawing vídeos
Cool. I have a pants vocab video and more in the drawing clothes series coming up.
Puuahahah...best parking story, ever!!!
Right? She was an awesome teacher. I still remember how she used to call butts "fannies"--"Zoe, dear, you gotta fix your fanny, what's wrong with this fanny?" omg. hahahahaha~
Love u zoe🌹🌹🌹

will you make summer collection illustrations for 2017
I don't know what you mean.

No, I developed these lessons because I didn't see any good books on it. Did you start this series from the very beginning?
Yes I did. Just got a lil lost with the jeans video but I'll review it and practice some more!!!
Many thanks
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It has really inspired me to think more about design of tailored jackets. Could you possibly do tailored trousers as a continuation of this topic?
Yes, it's in the queue.

Can I find these palettes on the internet?
I sell my fashion figure templates at zoehong.etsy.com
Can boys also be fashion designers?
Yes
You're awesome
Thanks a lot 💜

There should be a disclaimer for UK people. Your jackets close so there's no hands sliding :))
Oookay the story is an another thing 😂😭
I have to assume that British people can't enjoy quality time in parkings because of how their jackets are taylored
I love you
or you could just be like women are always right so women are right over left and vice versa... no?
hahahahahahahaha ok why not? haha
You R so CUTE... 😚😚
Oh my god. "I'm tryna use genderneutral pronouns"
Now I love the "hey hey partypeople" even more....
Yeah, that was the original goal, instead of "hey guys" or similar.
