Description
first of all, please forgive me my crappy inking, my hands are shaky...and that some of the wings are smaller that the othersI post it here because I'm a huge wing freak and that a LOT of people have trouble drawing feathered wings, even the great artists - my eyes are bleeding seeing the pictures of angels, gryphons, pegasus or so on with absolutely stunning anatomy, great use of colours and BANG! bad wings (did I mention that I'm a huge wing freak?
it's not really a tutorial, it's more like a reference sheet or resource. I know it from my own experience that to find a good reference for feathered wings is pretty hard and I doubt many people have the patience to study pigeons on their bus stop. I was lucky because my art teacher brought us few months ago a beautiful (and ooooold) book with animal anatomy (from horses, dogs, bats to birds or fishes). so I copied the wings (by hand) from that book because it was a great source. so don't give me the credit, I only put it together and post it here for your use. I only hope it will help you (cuz it did help me a lot)
sooooo my parting words are - have fun with your wings

Awesome, better than my wings. But I need your opinion on them.[link] . I just want to know if the anatomy is good. Yes, I know the little tufts at the top are a bit cartoonish. You can also ignore the last wing since I just drew that one for fun.

You and Nambroth need to chat. She does a "drawing wings" panel at conventions and it's wonderful!
