Clothes practice, what am I doing wrongly?

[u/HopefulGroup423]

I'm not satisfied with the end results, but don't know how to fix it, especially the last one, I don't like how the shadows and the light in the shadows look, I want to give the clothes a semi realistic style and make jt look painted

they all look solid, the last one needs a wider value range though. i like how you push chroma at the edge of the core shadow, its a useful trick.

I’m still studying fabric myself, but hold the cuff of your sleeve and twist your hand around. Look for common, recurring lines coming from tension points (like your elbow, or even the bunched seams if you have a thicker fabric, like in your last image). I think all you need to do is look for patterns in the logic; you have a great feel for this and already have the sense of life
