Description
I did my best to explain how I draw bird feathers. I know this is a tutorial no one asked for, but I hope it's still going to be useful, at least to some of you. Let me know if that is the case, if you tried applying this method and if you have any questions. Also, let me know what you would like to learn about next week. If it is a subject that I don't feel secure about, I will most likely say so. I can't teach you a method if I have none, but I will do my best to show you how I do things.

You have no idea how much 'inner quiet' these words brought me, somehow. I know how you meant them, and I am not religious, yet they carry so much weight to them. Thank you.

Awww... I'm glad to hear that! I'm not the most devout of people myself, it's been a hard few years actually and my faith has wavered significantly but...I dunno...it's important to try and hold on to that sort of feeling. I don't want to lose it entirely. Sometimes just making a connection with another person can really, really help... And it's super important to me to show gratitude when I can.
I'm not getting choked up now...no idea what you're talking about...

Yeah, those words came with good timing. I was feeling rather distressed. I still have this image in my head of two pebbles falling down to the bottom of a very clear lakebed and the silence you hear when you are floating with your ears under the water line.

Immediately made me think of the opening to Cardcaptor Sakura tho haha. Because I'm a weeb.

Thank you! I'm so glad to get this kind of feedback. I am a bit prudent with Tutorials, they are difficult to make and I usually don't know what to show in them. Any other things you would like to learn?

Wonderful! I love how you showed all three different kinds! And the down feathers look extra fluffy and amazing!

Thank you! To be honest, I never drew down feathers in such detail before. I just started a messy process and kept thinking that I will do my best and if it turns out wrong, I will simply remove that type of feathers from the tutorial. I was surprised with myself too.
