Description LARGE FILE WARNING

What?! I uploaded something!
Well it's about time I finished this, right?

I'm sorry it took me so long to get all this put together. I had a hell of a time working with such a big file that it often crashed and I had to do some of the work over... OTL

I suppose this could also be called something like "if humans had wings" or a similar idea, but since this knowledge came from my guardian demon, I kept the title as is.

Thank you Andras

This tutorial-type anatomical drawing illustrates the anatomy of demon (or if you really prefer, angel-type) wings. My notes are self-explanatory, I hope!

Also, please note that some wings look more stylized if the demon or angel is represented by a certain animal (raven, owl, eagle, etc).

Man, I wish I found this a week ago,
just finished a very difficult painting with a angel. XD
This would have helped me so much!

this is really wonderful - it's rare to find a tutorial that goes so in depth on skeletal and muscular structure (without being overbearing, I mean). Absolutely wonderful

Thank you so so much for this tutorial! I've always had a lot of trouble drawing feather wings, and while I still do have quite a few issues to work on, this has helped me! ^^ Without this I don't think the drawing I did would have come out anywhere near well enough for me to like.

You're welcome I'm glad I could help! I still need some work myself (especially on the feather part) so hopefully I'll be adding a second part to this eventually

Very cool! I often imagined how that would work out, because most of the time wings just seem clipped on lol.

This is beautiful.
I've always been troubled by how wings on a human would work, and your anatomical explanations are fascinating.
Thank you so much.

tingc888 [2011-01-20 17:02:20 +0000 UTC]

Cool. I like how you explained the muscles too. Most anatomy drawing examples i see tend to overlook them, focusing more on only how muscles flesh out the surface and then going right to drawing the surface structure. I like how you explain the muscle's control of movement.

AvrilDC In reply to tingc888 [2011-01-20 18:14:57 +0000 UTC]

Thank you I tried to relate a lot of this tutorial to the human arm structure since it seems to work in almost the same way. I'm sure I could've done more with the muscles but I'm happy to hear that you like it!

The manga is so perdy, yes! I have Volumes 1-9 so far I watched the anime when it was on Adult Swim back in like 2005, but it's no where near as good as the manga!
