You don't create subfolders of the drawable folder but rather 'sibling' folders next to it under the /res folder for the different screen densities or screen sizes. The /drawable folder (without any dimension) is mostly used for drawables that don't relate to any screen sizes like selectors.

See this screenshot (use the name drawable-hdpi instead of mipmap-hdpi):

The standard procedures are:

1. Choose Project > app > scr > main
2. Right click "res", choose "New" and choose "Android resource directory"
3. In the opened dialog, at Resource Type choose "drawable"
4. In the list Available qualifier choose Density, then click the right arrow at the middle.
5. Choose the Density that you like then press OK

Simply go to project Explorer and change your View from Android to project from drop Down and you are good to go.There you can simply create folder like we do in Eclipse. And in android project view it is hidden but when you switch to project. You can create folder like drawable-hdpi,drawable-xhdpi.
