Newbie question how to make sense of folds

chudork

been sculpting for a while, and I keep seeing comments about folds not making sense for pants and shirts, can anyone explain/elaborate further? I will use something I did as an example, so people can point out which folds/creases make sense or not

There are folds where there is tension. It's as simple as that.

The best tip I could give you is to ALWAYS use several references when sculpting folds. There is no secret. It's just copying from real life, just like always in art.

This should help you understand better my point.
