How did you learn fabrics and folding? From reference or Shit tons of reading? Both?

Fold, pose fabric in real life, on a chair, see what it does, even better if you have a mannequin.
I just do studies of that and look at other artists work at the same time, see how they painted what I am trying.

Keep practicing. This is one I did from a John Singer Sargent painting. Study the folds on your own. Try posing in a mirror with folded fabric so you can get the fabric drawing or painting from life.

Here is an example where I folded up a towel and draped it over the washing machine. Then I had a reference for the shadows. It in in my painting, but has a few issues. It looks too flat, and I need to make it pop out more. I think I need to focus on shadow and half tones in ti to have it stand out more.
