So I've been playing around with Photo shop awhile now too create clothing and i think i have the fundamental basics down but what i really can't seem too do is create creases on clothing, when i try too create creases like on a body it looks too dark and the colours don't seem too mix well.

I've tried this on black colour clothing and got it too work well but when i try other colours it just looks wrong.

multiply and transparency is a solution.

I assume you have a black artworked template for all your creases, possibly with feathered edges. If you don't make one. Then the simple way is to make an item of clothing the colour you want, and then add the creases template as a layer over the top and select multiply for that layer, if it's too dark you can use the transparency of the layer to make it lighter, or brightness/contrast or even variations.

*me wonders* how can my post be made 2 hours before yours?

ok what I mean is that you draw the creases independently of anything else, just the shape of the creases as you would like to see them on the item of clothing made, for example a t-shirt. Draw it up black and white and blur or feather the edges to get a nice blend.

Make sure the drawing matches the template of the clothes. Then any time you make a t-shirt, open that file and drag it on top, then make it a multiply layer and make adjustments as I mentioned above.

Well this is how I would do it, maybe a simpler way, someone knows about, or someone who can expand on what I have said.

I think the question is not "Where do I draw folds and wrinkles?" but "How do I draw them?" Dekka's advice about drawing them on a separate layer that you can drop in as a sort of template whenever you design a similar piece of clothing is OK. Once you get some practice drawing folds, though, you may decide that it's just as easy to make them fresh each time.

To learn how to draw folds and wrinkles themselves, take a good look at two of the stickies at the top of this forum. The Photoshop Tricks & Tips forum starts with a very nice explanation of how to use non-destructive burn and dodge -- the best basic technique for making some kinds of folds and wrinkles -- and there are several other nice tips that can help. The tutorials sticky also has links to some excellent on-line resources.

There are several effective ways to make realistic folds and wrinkles. Rather than repeat them here, I'd suggest you start with those stickies and see if you find a good answer that meets your needs.

Failproof nice but somewhat generic folds/wrinkles/creases in Photoshop CS-duplicate your layer first!!!draw some neat stripes with dodge and burn, draw them in the direction you need them. filter-blur-motion blur, adjust the angle until it's the same as the angle the lines were drawn at. it's good to select only the area where the lines are, so you don't blur out your previous work as motion blur will not look good if you just pick any random angle.
