Ribbons and ruffles are necessary in order to make a female character instantly girly. Ribbons and ruffles might seem challenging to draw when you're trying to get the shading just right. This can easily be mastered.
Add your dark tones where your lines intersect. Extend the dark tones with your tortillion, creating midtones as shown.
Smooth your lines and leave upward-facing lines white. This indicates sheen and light. This is just a plain ribbon.
Draw a wavy line as shown. Your line should look like half of a zipper in order to represent a fold better.
Draw the fold lines of the ruffle, drawing lines from upper "teeth of your "zipper" line.Then draw the top squiggle line.
Use the top part of the original line that you drew to indicate the underside of your ruffled fabric.
