Help with Wrinkles

i have tried and tried to make wrinkles on a shirt...bad thing is..i use paint shop pro NO paint shop..so if someone could please give me a well written out tutorial on how to make wrinkles with PAINT SHOP PRO..lol that would be so helpful..ty so much

OMG i would LOVE one too! i use paint shop pro as well.

I have seen some helpful things tho - about Photoshop but can be used for paint shop too.
There's a thread near this one about using the burn and dodge tools to hand draw them in which is what i am trying at the moment.

I think using gassian blur over the wrinkle u have drawn helps as well - but do it on another layer so u dont affect the main clothing texture.

I am in the same position as u - i hope that helps a little x

yup i have heard the same thing.....someone did help me out a little but i am still way confused....i dont really know HOW to draw them..wich sounds dumb..but what can ya do..lol lets hope somebody can save us..lol

My apologies...I previously posted the incorrect link to the wrinkle brushes. They were created by Ceres, not Karmalene.

I do not know if they work with PSP, but if you look at the samples, you should be able to get a decent idea visually how wrinkles should be drawn.

If I have time tonight or tomorrow, I will try to post some pictures of the steps if some one hasn't come to your rescue by then

ty air i so love you...no the brushes would not open for me...i have tried to use ps..i just cant..i love my good ole paint shop pro.....i thank you for all your hard work..i apreciate it )

ari i mean gosh i cant type

Well Trinity...I really hope we can figure this out!

Perhaps during the down time tomorrow I'll see what I can do to make a visual tutorial you can follow.

Here are examples of two types of wrinkles, but the same steps apply.

Again, total credit goes to Starley Therian whose fab tutorial last year showed me how to create them (and of course Mr. Midnight's templates).

1. New Layer, Color Burn: soft brush with 50% Gray
2. Smudge tool, pull corners out to soften
3. Blur (for the example I used the Gaussian blur option)
4. New Layer, Overlay, soft brush with white or very light gray...follow same steps as 2 & 3
5. Wrinkles

These were made rather quickly, but when you study actual clothing you'll see how the wrinkles appear on actual clothing. Real fabric is your best guide..but hopefully this is a start

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!! I love you!

Thanks so much Ari - i have successfully made my first wrinkles. I hope everyone else find your post as useful as i did x

Excellent!!!!! Glad I could help

Hi! If you really want to understand wrinkles, not just how they are drawn, but where to draw them, you can't do better than an oldish book by Burne Hogarth that's still in print. It's called Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery: Solutions for Drawing the Clothed Figure.

You can find it on Amazon.com here.

Hope this helps!

HOLY CRAP ARI!!!!!! i will have to say you are a godess...lmao ty so much for your hard work it truly paid off..i SOOOO get it now....TYYYYYYY if i ever find you in game i am so giving you a big huge hug..lol....one more question......how did you get the cool fabric texture? i think i might have an idea but i just wanted to ask to be safe...


thank you again!!!

Both this and Robin's tutorial are really great! One thing I think is important to mention (mainly because it is the one thing that kept me from figuring this out!!) is the fact that neither of these tutorials work with certain colors as your background. Pure RGB red, blue, green, or yellow don't seem to work. I was using pure green as a test, and the paint strokes just wouldn't show up! I was practically pulling my hair out till I tried a different color.

Many, many thanks to Arikinui and Robin!

You're so very welcome

It was because of the generous people in this forum that I was able to understand how to make clothing, and I really hope I can continue this trend by offering what little I know.

The texture is simply an overlay > 50% gray fill and I added a bit of patchwork texture to it (an option in PS, but not sure if you have anything like that in PSP). It's no big deal..just helps keep it from looking flat.

Stop by and see me any time after Friday. We'll have tea on the terrace

Laurie, good point. I have found that if I vary the gray % and work with the different blending options (multiply vs. color burn, and color dodge vs overlay vs. screen) I can work around these color issues. Or I just don't use any of those misbehaving colors LOL (or black and white for that matter).

That is a great book Robin. I can't believe it's already 12 years old.
