How do you organize your shadow shapes in appealing ways? What do you look for when you're drawing overlapping folds?
>>7750914pic not related?
>>7750964Yeah im pretty bad at it
>>7750964It's pretty mid. OP should get find better inspo.
>>7750967Op here... I drew that...
Ask your friends on discord.
his discord is dead
>>7750968Oh... you're already better than 90 percent of this board. I wish I could help you, but it will take a while before someone manages to answer your question.
>>7750966it is okay to be imperfect
>>7750978>it will take a while before someone manages to answer your questionIdm, I wanted to talk about clothes and folds anyways>>7750986Yes but we can aim to be better
>>7750914kozeki?
How would you unbeg OP? What is he missing?
>>7751016hii
erghh....
Have you tried this, op?https://online-courses.club/anatomy-of-clothing-2019-by-ron-lemen/
>>7750914OP I think what your folds are missing is better value contrast. look into ambient occlusion, yk those darker shadows where forms overlap or light can't reach as easily.
>>7751113this still looks shit
>>7751118can you redline it
>>7751113oh ambient occlusion isn't something i look for but this looks really good, I'll fix up and adjust and post some studies with that in mind, thank you!
>>7751118becos I didn't change anything except add a darker value. did you expect me to turn it into the next mona lisa
This one was mostly in shadow already so I had a bit of a hard time. Maybe I still don't have enough contrast?
>>7751133/beg/ hands typed this post
>>7752367It is an improvement. Until you post better, your words mean nothing.

>>7752435Forgot to mention, but also try to design the folds instead of copying the exact way the reference is.It saves a lot of time and you practice your own design skills.Sometimes the drawing will get too busy with folds and it's better to fade the minor ones or draw major folds with lesser faded folds. Being clean helps a lot with readability for when you start rendering it.Idk, i'm not a pro myself, but i noticed those things and it helped me a lot.
>>7752513You could swap those and no one would know
