how do ya’ll get the paint in the folds of the clothes, and the packs and stuff? does any body know what im talking about??
Do you meen getting the right shade that looks like the clothes are folded or getting paint in the folds. For getting into the tight spots, you use a little brush or toothpick.

I’m not sure if I know exactly what you’re asking… are you thinning your paint well? Multiple thinned layers?

Your question as asked is kind of like, “Do you know how to get where I’m going?” There’s a lot of info missing. Are you airbrushing? Rattle can? What kind of figures? What kind if paint?
in the folds of the fabric. i guess you could say accenting the folds of the fabric

There are basically two ways to do this. The quick and dirty way is to apply a wash to the areas you want darkened. I’d use burnt umber oil for most colors. Lay it on and don’t attempt to sperad it. Let capillary action and gravity do their things. The upside is that it’s quick. The downside is you have limited control.
The other is to build up the shadows. Go here and click on “Model Color” then scrol to the bottom of the page for a tutorial. The upside is you have a great deal of control over the location and depth of the shadows. The downside is that it can be time consuming. For this, I’d use appropriately mixed colors, rather than a single layer of burnt umber.
