The choruses have the same melody in the beginning and I can’t unhear it lol

So I consider myself a pretty good artist (ofc I have a lot to learn including what I’m about to explain). But I’ve always struggled with fabric. Like no matter how many times I’ve tried to study it, I’m just not good at it. I feel like I understand it conceptually, but when I actually try to draw it, everything I understood about it just goes out the window. Especially when I try and render it. Sketching is one thing and easy to make it look okay. But when I try to make it look detailed and 3D, I’m just guessing the entire time and it doesn’t look good. I can copy a reference just fine, but I wanna be better than that. Most of the time I can’t find a good reference photo anyways.

Does anyone have any tips? Like maybe videos, books (I have a couple), ways to study?

I’m forcing myself to finish these two pieces I have, and on both of them I’ve been stuck on the fabric for months. It’s to the point where I haven’t touched them in weeks/months because i know I’m gonna struggle the entire time.
