Wing tutorial~

Since it has been asked, I made a little breakdown on how to draw wings.

So, first thing to understand is wing anatomy. I used a swan wing as reference for my artwork. Divide the wing into blocks of feathers. There's sort of three layers to the feathers outlined in the second picture, and these divided along the top joint of the wing where it folds. See the second image. Make sure you bring in these nice, flowy shapes here!

Now that you have these big shapes, you can cut into them and make the individual shapes of the primary and secondary feathers (layer 3.) also make sure they overlap correctly depending on if you are drawing the wing from the front or the back. make sure you stick with a nice rythm and have the feathers get gradually bigger as you get closer to the tip. Like this:

when you go ahead and draw that layer 2 of coverts, make sure that every feather you drew for the bottom layer has (approximately) a feather overlapping it (so you have pretty much the same number of feathers in each layer) and that they line up nicely. But you can also make them a bit more ruffled. Like this:

Other than the flight feathers, the very top part of the wing is very smooth, with shorter, more rounded feathers (almost half-circles!). They can lie very flat or also look a lot more fluffy. think of them almost like overlapping scales. There is also the Alula at the top of the wing, a sort of extra feathery bit that sticks out over the primaries. also don't forget the scapulars which cover over the shoulder blade and are on top when the wing is folded. The Scapulars also have two layers of feathers. (see first graphic).

From there, it's only a matter of lineart and shading or however you want to finish your artwork. Hope this helps with the structure! Drawing wings folded together is a whole other story that I'm not going to get into here... lol.

TL:DR: understand the structure of wings and use references to get it right, work from big shapes to small shapes.

Edit: I demand to be tagged in the results, I desperately need to see more wing art. ÒwÓ

Bonus tip for the people going for realism: count the primary feathers. Every bird that can fly has between 9 and 11 primary feathers.

Do you have any tips for drawing spinner? He's a super hard guy to draw😭

Thank you sm for asking, I'm really glad you came to me for spinner tips❤️. Though I went very overboard but I hope this is able to help you! I also made this for myself since I loose track of how to draw Spinner alot myself.

Notes:

Spinner is a 'furry' so having experience in drawing furries will help alot when drawing him and vise versa (he'll help you draw snouts). But at the end of the day he is very hard and awkward to draw + his design constantly changes in minuscule ways, horikoshi couldnt even draw him the same correctly alot of the time; his snout will be round sometimes then sharp other times, his eyes large and sharpely upturned but then smaller and almond shaped other times. So don't get focused on drawing him completely right or accurate, instead focus on getting down his silhouette with shapes.

This was my first time drawing him screaming and it looks weird but the more I draw him like that the more natural it will look, so just keep drawing spinner and you'll get the hang of him.

Non-writers never seem to understand the fact that characters have free will.

"you made them, just make them do what you want!"

I can't SUSAN.

[greater-than-the-sword]

It's scary that there is a whole sector of people who think this is literally true and not just an elaborate game of pretend-with-me that we are playing.

[narulanth]

Saying that characters have free will of their own is more of a shorthand expression for:

"Personalities behave with a certain mathematics, especially within the gradient of a story with given themes. In order for the story to be satisfactory, certain combinations cannot exist in cohesion. Forcing a character with a given dynamic to behave in a certain way is guaranteed to come off as forced and unnatural.

Is it possible to sidestep this? Yes, but often this comes with a change to the character's "personality matrix." This, in turn, may result in previous or later planned scenes in a story coming unraveled.

For longer and emotionally complex stories, these nested contradictions can stack upon one another, making it functionally impossible to change any detail of a central character without threatening the necessity for a major rewrite.

So, if the story has gone a slightly different direction than initially planned, getting a character to "behave" for a scene related to the climax or finale can feel like fighting against an independent agent with its own free will."

Sometimes I have plans for Dabi and I swear to god I black out or some shit and NONE of those plans happened by the time he is done possessing me.

The stuggles of being a writer.

A shame that I have to actually finish my book before I get to read it. I enjoy writing it just as much but I am looking forward to finishing my first book and getting to read through it, even if I do know what's going to happen.

"Tutorial" on how to "draw" a blind OC.

My kofi

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general. Links below so that you can research and do a nuance. Ones that were directly mentioned are bolded.

Writing a blind character 101 What to avoid etc Video on types of white canes Video on types of cane tips Some more explanation on white canes + tips + other stuff Guide animals Video on working with a guide dog But why are Magical White Eyes a problem Same as above Going blind from an accident Video on conformers World's most basic "what do you call someone with albinism" The blindfold thing. No people don't wear these. This mostly stupid trope of covering a blind character's eyes because lord forbid someone sees a disabled body part This just stupid trope of giving a blind character some bs superpower to "see" The echolocation thing that every other blind oc does for some reason Just give them a cane good lord if you want a character that can see perfectly then maybe don't make them blind Bonus: if your character has a bunch of scars or whatever else then congrats! You made a character with a facial difference. Which is also something you should research.

Reblog if you will never. Ever. Use AI in your writing.

[ifeveristoday]

Be prepared to get comments like "Your hair is so pretty. You wrote her hair so pretty. Why is she so pretty?" And "Your writing is so good. I can really tell what he's saying and oh he smells so nice. That's a cool looking bag. Your beta has awesome shoes I bet. What's her name?"

Let the endless compliment cycle begin.

[fieldbears]

I’m so into this

[fieldbears]

It's five years later, I just saw this pop up on my feed, and I'm still so into this

[charbroiledchicken-deactivated2]

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

your comment means so much to the author!! don’t be shy about letting your favorite authors know you love their works.

if their fic makes your day, your comment makes their day too

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

Anyone and everyone CAN write. The world’s most skilled writer didn’t start off skilled. The key is that they practice hard by writing a lot.

As long as you write, you are practicing your craft and you are getting better at writing. But you will never get anywhere if you let AI write for you.
