Well, try looking at other manga and see how they're drawn and stuff... You could even try drawing some picture from mangas and stuff. It can really help ^_^

Another option is to look at your clothes, or other peoples colthes to spot the shading on the folds. If you use yourself find a mirror and use a light to similate the effect you want in the comic.

I suggest basing off from a manga-ka that you particulary like and then when you become proficient in that style, alter it to fit your own likes.

Well you could look at:

As an example it helps me out sometimes. What I do is when I am reading manga, I pay attention to every single fine detail on the characters, clothes, eyes, mouth, nose, head shape, hair, hair highlights, shoes, everything. That helps a lot because then you just think back when your trying to draw and put down what comes to mind. I think it works very well, that and you need to practice a lot in order to get the style you want, take it from me, I draw almost every single day! ^^
