Hia! I love your AU you made! I wanted to draw some fanart but I'm not good at wings. Any tips as to how you draw your wings so amazingly?

I will probably do a longer tutorial later if people want me to, but here’s the quick version!

Use lots of references! Each type of bird has unique wings and it’s fun to play around with shapes and sizes! You can also see how the wings are devided into different parts (like the primaries, secondaries, coverts etc.) I used this swallow’s wing as a reference for this one.

Start out with really simple shapes! Nothing too detailed, just so you know where each part of the wing is.

Time to add the feathers! Don’t be afraid to use irregular shapes. I like to make the wings fluffy! Also important note is that the feathers cross over each other a bit!

And now color and shading! This one is pretty self explanatory! I like to add more layers of feathers with the shading, even though it’s not showed in the lineart.

Now the last thing is to color the lineart and you’re done! I hope that helped at least a bit, i’m not the best at explaining things haha.

Thank you for your question!
