Description
*Note*The calculations presented here are simplified, and will only give you a rough estimate.
Also, sorry to the people that use imperial units, I have no idea how to convert the tutorial's calculations to work with them (if anyone can help me, please do).
When I started to learn about wings I was very interested in the math behind behind them. But I found no resource that explained it in a way that I could understand, so many years later I created this tutorial to help other artists better understand the wonder that is bird wings.
Most of the information in this tutorial comes from
-Fåglarnas ekologi
-Wikipedia
-Science Learning Hub

Your work is truly useful and amazing, i love birds and seeing these gems is pure eye-candy. Too bad i can fave this work once because it's very useful and i agree whit user below when he talks about the importance of wing dimensions. Thank you!

Oh gosh, thank you!
I agree with both of you when it comes to the importance of understanding wing dimensions, it's a rather critical piece of knowledge when drawing wings.

Thanks for posting this! I've never seen a reference for artists that actually bothers to explain WHY the dimensions of wings are important- which has always bugged me given that I'm studying engineering. Looks like you solved that problem though! Thanks very much!

No problem!
Agreed, and trying to find anything that talked about this in regards to birds was a bit of a nightmare.
Seems that there's a general lack of material that caters to the more analytical artist :/

Analytical art? Sometimes that's called engineering! For some reason most people see art and engineering as different things. I would disagree, since a well engineered object can be just as much a piece of art as a painting.

Hmmm, I've seen what engineers create, it can certainly be called art.
