Wrinkles and crinkles? O.o

I was wondering if anyone had any tips for making wrinkles and crinkles for near realistic hand painted clothing in photoshop 7? O.o

taking a well earned break from building and thought i'd brush up on some of my textureing fields so I thought i'd ask here if anyone had any tips on the subject, ^-^

There's a style plug-in that utilizes the bevel and emboss filters to create wrinkles around here. It's painted wrinkles though (just the shading), but I think I grabbed it here somewhere.

If not using that, I do one of two things

- Smudge. If you do this gently enough, it is doable, then just smooth out the jaggedness if it appears or liquify it.

- Clone and distortion. Select the area you want to wrinkle, make a new layer, set a clone to that area to the new layer. Distort the wrinkles into creation by means of perspective and the other layer editting tools when selecting a specific area. Then blend.

If the clothes your making has a pattern and you've made it by making the pattern first then adding the shading over top, I suggest the finding the style plug-in to paint the shadows.

I hope this has been somewhat helpful. I'm not really that great at explaining things.

Good luck to you.

Thank you very much ^-^

I'm a fan of Dodge and Burn, can't use it properly mind you...

If you want the actual pattern or texture of the fabric to wrinkle, too, you can use Filter > Distort > Displace to do that.

If you want step-by-step directions on how that's done, let me know.

Thank you both very much, those tips were very helpful
