Look for clothes hanging similar to the way you want them to, and study where the wrinkles are. Consider why each one is there. Clothes are (usually) flat by default, so determine what's being pulled to fold it. Step 2: Start with shadows. Create a new layer if you like so that you can delete it. Go through and sketch in your folds with the dark shadow. Zoom out. Slap them in the previewer. Look good? Step 3: when they look right, pick a lighter version of your base colour for your highlight. The smaller the difference between the two colors is, the softer and fuzzier the material appears...and vice versa. Silk and satin shine very hard with dramatic highlights, while cotton is far more understated. Again, lay down your highlights, take a good look at the whole picture to see if it looks good, and then put it in the previewer to see how it looks there. Step 4: Swear at your computer until you feel better. Redo other steps as necessary. Step 5: When you're happy with your highlights, clean them up. Don't be a wuss! When material is really folded over itself, its shadow can be quite crisp, clean, and dramatic. Glance at net pictures again to see where folds should be sharp and clear (and, for that matter, where you can leave them fuzzy), and work with a thin brush to sharpen the edges of both highlights and shadows where appropriate. This step is critical to making "okay" folds look professional! Step 6: Bask in the warm glow of being done. Realize you have three more materials to do. Repeat step 4 as necessary. _________________ If brevity is the soul of wit, then what does that make me?
