Zoe you are an amazing teacher! I am not a fashion illustrator just a beginner drawing student and I’m finding this form of art interesting and fun. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. Cheers Leslie
Hands down the best tutorial for faces on youtube, and I've looked. A cartoon/comic trick for male lips - only draw the middle notch and line, not the "wings". Take care
Not sure if you will see this comment since it’s an older video ... but you have been the only TH-camr that I literally take notes on as I watch ... I commented this before in the community tab but I need to say it again , thank you so much. My hobby is art and I have been pushing myself to learn more. I have been watching you every day and practicing everyday. I love that you repeatedly remind me it’s not magic but practice. I really have seen the progress in just the last couple weeks with my drawing. Thank you again!
I'm not a fashion art student but your videos are really helpful! I'm new to painting and I want to incorporate some fashion elements in my paintings. 🙂
Hello Ma’am i cant tell you how much your videos are helpfull to the beginners im studing fashion and illustrator by my own and you are my teacher. I can’t thabk you enough 🙏🏻
Your friend's baby is soo cute! And it was so funny to see her face when you were talking about Gerber Babies! Always enjoy your videos and learn a lot.
Hi Zoe.. ❤️ from India. I've never been to a fashion school but have many designs in my mind all the time and it is very difficult for me to put them on the paper. I learnt many things from your videos drawing croquis, faces, dresses... Everyone who know me know that you are my teacher. 😊😊😊Thanks for all the videos.
Please do a video about your old sketches. :) I would like to see how you improved through the years. So I wouldn't be so discouraged, cause my drawings suck so bad.
I’ve already seen so many videos of Zoe that YES, I have printed in my brain that “Eyes are in the center of my head, not the center of my face, but the center of my head” 😂♥️♥️
Btw, I’m watching all of your videos this quarantine and I’ve learned so much, about so many things that nobody told me even in fashion school. Thank you so much! You’re gold and your drawings are amazing ♥️
Thank you for these videos! They really help :-) One thing I like to do to keep men looking masculine when drawing their lips, is shading the upper lip quite a bit darker than I normally would on a woman. I find making it darker keeps it from looking too full and pouty
I love your videos. your basically the only person that owns a channel that is understandable that teaches realistic drawings. Keep more coming! can you do a fashion figure video without a person to base it off of? my sketch book paper is thick so I cant trace D: thank you for the videos!
+Always Bored Thank you! Sure, I can do that, but fair warning, my subscriber request queue is super long right now and I always go in the order I receive the requests. Might be a couple of months. But I will get to it!
Leny O'Leary youtube instructions are better than classroom because the viewer can get real close to the demo Like watching a ball game on television compared to being there. Being there you can't see the trees for he forest
Thank You so much. Your video is 6 years old and very helpful to me. You are a very gifted person to be able to teach others these skills. I wonder if you are still posting in you tube and how is your career now. Thanks again..
I wish I could draw like this my fashion designs are so bad I am so jelly right now you are so good my creative side only comes out when I listen to music so im trying to fashion sketch and listen to music but I guess I should start practicing more because im so bad!!!!
thank you zoe for these. i have a really big problem that i take too much time in making faces . i cant draw in minimum strokes. could u show how i can make perfect figures and face especially the details with min ERASING and min time.?
thnx for the vid I keep having a problem when I draw the face croqui size it gets to crowded and I can't draw all the features in can you give me some tips please
1. Use a very skinny mechanical pencil, like a 0.3mm. 2. Draw very small features. When you draw big features, it can look cartoon-ish. 3. Practice with some slightly bigger heads and gradually draw smaller and smaller. Good luck!
Stumbled upon your channel .. thank you ! I've been looking to improve my face drawing skills and your videos have been so helpful ! Not sure if anyone has asked this, but how do you draw dimples on a face? I can't seem to make it work other than it looking like a weird line/dot 😆 thank you Zoe !
Hi , sorry i didn't find the file of faces on the list in videos , i only find hair and figures. Didn't I see it ? .Thank u for answering. I love your works
All my illustration skills come from being a fashion designer and as a designer, I've never had a need to draw facial expressions so I don't really know how. Glad you enjoyed this video!
Today I understood that it's difficult to draw an egg 😂 ... The woman face that I did draw scares me but the man ... handsome 😍 almost falling in love with him
Aw, you're too sweet. Thank you. But in reality, everyone learns in different ways, some respond to different personalities and teaching styles better. You can't please everyone! :)
geeez, well I was taught if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything ;) Ok we all know, this can't be done for every situation ... but in the arts and unless criticism is expected, just move on to another video. Sorry, it just irks me, when so much time and energy is put out to share with others .. Kuddooo's to you ;)
Yes, and no. I think it's important to respect people's efforts but for me, I know if a video got a *lot* of dislikes, I would take the chance to review it and see what I did wrong so it's helpful to know stuff like that too. But thank you for getting irked on my behalf. :)
Donna L my guest is that the TH-cam software artificially adds thumbs down. But thumbs down still means participation and shouldn't be considered an insult. Right. Maybe the audio wasn't loud enough or the instructors demo didn't jive with the viewers learning method ? I think thumbs down are automatically added by TH-cam
hmmm interesting, I hadn't thought of that ... for myself, if I watch any video I give it a thumbs up. If there are issues I think the maker missed or may be unaware of I may mention it in the comments.
I agree that erasing in the drawing papers will affect the result of my drawing. But I am a beginner in fashion illustration world and still have a lot of erasing. What should I do? My teacher does not teach any techniques of drawing and I have to watch your videos.
Hello Zoe. I have a question. How do I draw like a small and feminine nose? Because are meant to be around the size of an eye but it comes out very big. Hope you can answer 😌
Usually if I have a hard time drawing something, I look at real life examples of what I want to draw, or photos, and try to copy that. If you're trying to draw small, maybe you need a sharper pencil or skinnier mechanical pencil. Sorry I missed this comment before.
Can you answer my question In regards to why fashion degree is consider science and what jobs we can go for? Why is fashion important and we need these stuff. Please. Thank you.
+Marc Oliver It's a pencil/pen I got at Muji. It looks like it's discontinued now and only available on ebay: www.ebay.com/itm/like/182089914545?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
+Sarah Longshore Yeah, it really depends on the illustration. I don't always do faces but it's a skill that's expected of illustrators and designers. Sometimes you want to push a concept further by illustrating the right face. Sometimes you want to make things more accessible to more people by not making things too specific. Sometimes you want a sparse, minimal style. Sometimes you want to meticulously render all of the things.
you are literally the first person who made my drawing really good and you're funny lol
Thanks!
Zoe you are an amazing teacher! I am not a fashion illustrator just a beginner drawing student and I’m finding this form of art interesting and fun. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.

Guilty M me too! Who knows Zoe inspires me and teaches me so much I may find myself in fashion 20 years from now.
Hahahahaha Erin! Do it!

Thank you Mrs Zoe Hong! You are amazing!
Thank you for these videos! They really help :-)
One thing I like to do to keep men looking masculine when drawing their lips, is shading the upper lip quite a bit darker than I normally would on a woman. I find making it darker keeps it from looking too full and pouty
Ooh, thanks for the tip! I'll try that next time!

Thank u..
I wish I could draw like this my fashion designs are so bad I am so jelly right now you are so good my creative side only comes out when I listen to music so im trying to fashion sketch and listen to music but I guess I should start practicing more because im so bad!!!!
My guess is that you're not "bad" but under-practiced. Keep at it!
Thanks
thank you zoe for these. i have a really big problem that i take too much time in making faces . i cant draw in minimum strokes. could u show how i can make perfect figures and face especially the details with min ERASING and min time.?
practice. you have to force yourself to draw the long lines, even if the first 500 times you do it the lines curve the wrong way. it's the only way.
I just loved your explanation ❤️ mam
It's so cool
Love your videos 💕
I’m learning a lot
Keep it up 👍🏽

very helpful tutorial zoe
What kind of pencil you using
I agree that erasing in the drawing papers will affect the result of my drawing. But I am a beginner in fashion illustration world and still have a lot of erasing. What should I do? My teacher does not teach any techniques of drawing and I have to watch your videos.
Thanks so much! So clearly explained and awesome :)
you're welcome!
nice explanation i really like it thanks
Love love love! Thank you so much! New subscriber too.
thankyou that is soooo sooi helpfull, i love you!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
You're welcome!
Hello Zoe. I have a question. How do I draw like a small and feminine nose? Because are meant to be around the size of an eye but it comes out very big. Hope you can answer 😌
Or a pointy nose
Usually if I have a hard time drawing something, I look at real life examples of what I want to draw, or photos, and try to copy that. If you're trying to draw small, maybe you need a sharper pencil or skinnier mechanical pencil. Sorry I missed this comment before.

love your videos! very informative! :))
thanks!
Thanks for uploading such video
Is it hard to be a fashion designer?
your videos are awsome!!!!
Thanks!
nice one!
Thanks!
i lov watching ur videos. :)
Great teaching
Thanks!
it helped me so much. thanks a ton.😘
You're welcome!
You're welcome!
It's look like Barbie and kan
What happen to hand?
I pay more attention to you than my actual teachers 😂
You are fantastic. What were you sketching with in this video.
It's a one of those pencil/pen combo things from Muji.
My faces have improved a lot!
Yay!
thank you . just what I want
you are the best
Zoe, can you tell me the mechanical pencil you're using in this video please? :D
+Marc Oliver It's a pencil/pen I got at Muji. It looks like it's discontinued now and only available on ebay: www.ebay.com/itm/like/182089914545?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
+Zoe Hong thank you so much, Zoe, you're the best, love the funny way you teach us! 😘
+Marc Oliver Aw, thank you!
I can do some great eyes until I put them on a face 🤦🏻♀️
I get it, sometimes the pressure of making things perfect makes things more difficult. Have you tried drawing a face around the eyes?
Zoe Hong well that’s an interesting thought. I will have to try that. Thank you!
Same😅
very useful!
thanks! helpful
You're welcome!
I had to pause the video for like 3 minutes at "sperm brow"! Oh Zoe, you are so my favorite teacher. I laughed so hard, I think I lost a pound.
NO SPERM BROWS. I'm all about different definitions of beauty but I stand firm on no sperm brows!!! hahahaha
do you know hayden williams
Not personally, no.
his work is ammazing and u remind me of him
do you think fashion illustration looks better with faces or without? ? or does it depend on the illustration?
+Sarah Longshore Yeah, it really depends on the illustration. I don't always do faces but it's a skill that's expected of illustrators and designers. Sometimes you want to push a concept further by illustrating the right face. Sometimes you want to make things more accessible to more people by not making things too specific. Sometimes you want a sparse, minimal style. Sometimes you want to meticulously render all of the things.
This was so good but can u explain in hindi
“I guess that’s cool... I don’t know. Fashion!”
Love u.
Sperm brows! Girl you had me laughing!!!🤣
Make a tshirt!
hahaha I really should!
omgosh you always make me laugh!! sperm brow!! that's a hoot!!!!!
+Sarah Longshore Haha that always gets a laugh in class. I always, always mention it whenever I teach faces. Just say no to sperm brows.
+Zoe Hong hey I am new and I love drawing people I am only 13 and I think your videos are very helpful thank you!!!
Thanks Zoe! Loved the video, very helpful!😊✌
(No sperm brows😆😅😄)
+Milo curry You're welcome! (No sperm brows!)
You very beautiful understand😙👌👍
11:40 till that they looked sad
for male face, I think I did a pretty good job but for female face, I think it's like a combinate a male, female and an animal's face 😂
Love your videos "no sperm brows"
+Big Redd Thanks! Just say no to sperm brows. Heh.
😂😂😂
Got it. Sperm brow...is a no no. lmao
Haha~ Never sperm brows! Unless you're doing a ridiculous character of some sort.
+Zoe Hong I need you to teach me everything...I'll be your greatest student ever! lol
