Sketch the main garment shape first
Mark anchor points like shoulders, elbows, knees, waist, and seams

Vary line thickness to show depth and overlap
Keep wrinkles following the form underneath
Add smaller secondary folds between major wrinkles
Show shadow areas inside folds
Leave highlights on raised edges
Avoid placing wrinkles randomly
Simplify wrinkles in distant areas
Increase wrinkle detail in close-up areas
Match wrinkle direction to movement and gravity
