I need help or tips on how to shade/ render clothes better

[eager grove]

I don't know this is like my 4th(?) time shading clothes

[rich niche]

Alright great ob so far

nice lines

now i think you need to go check turorials on hwo to use hard and soft shading

cause what most artist do liek the one youre trying to reference is first understanding the human form
that means the breast area how does it sit on the body
how do the clothes fold around the body and all and
also learn about pressure points when drawing clothing

cause if you look close ly at your refence you ll notice some sharp edges and some soft edges so you need to find a way on how to make that follow the form of the chest area you are trying to shade
the shadings are usually sharper at the pressure points that the clothes is stretching from and the shading fades as it get away form the pressure point
PS : pressure point means where the pull of the clothes usually starts from

and be careful with her eyes they are loking quite big
