Tip needed

[Epectasis]

Okay, so here is this other piece im working on at the moment. I drew this like several years ago and a friend at the time inked it. For those of you who are familiar with the Witchblade, then you know what this is.

What i want to ask is take a look at the drapes at the bottom. Notice how on the left there is a section that has a "highlight" on it. I was completely unable to continue using that technique on the remainder of the drapes.

Does anybody have a tip as to what i can do to make highlights that are similar to what i have already done for the drapes? i've tried quite a few things and just cant seem to get it done....thanx :)

What? Just like painting, use different values, different brush styles, sizes opacities, and layer adjustments

you're absolutely correct my friend. I like to re-color stuff. I dont call the artwork mine originally. Just the coloring jobs i do to them. I found with time that doing "copying" work improves abilities and hand eye coordination. Dont worry, i have my own style and such (i color my own stuff too). But i had this drawing laying around and decided that it would make an excellent personal project.
