Now it's your turn - set up your own drapery model still life, it could be clothing, curtains, a cloth. Render it as best as you can using the general idea of keeping the "high points" the lightest and following the fold convergences to their crease points. Not happening? Keep working on it.
Here's a nice one by our friend Raphael. You can just feel that fabric.
And then there's the incomparable Joaquin Alberto Vargas y Chávez "Vargas" (1896-1982) with this lovely fold study below... in this case, the black lace is rendered transparently with shadow at the side and maximum transparency on the ridges.
Exercise 5 - try your own fold study!
