Wing Tutorialby =Thy-Darkest-Hour

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Photoshop

Welcome to my ultimate wings tutorial.

This tutorial will demonstrate how I create wings.

Through this tutorial you will learn:

1. How to draw your own digital feather using a mouse or pen tablet.

2. How to sketch out a rough wing outline and feathers.

3. How to position and shade feathers.

4. How to use the burn tool to add depth to a wing.

This tutorial is meant to create a fantasy wing, not a realistic one.

This tutorial is copyright to *thy-darkest-hour
The wings it contains may not be replicated. This tutorial is meant as a guide, not as a means to re-create my wing set. Please don't use it for that purpose.

Fave before you download!

You shouldn't really call this "Ultimate Wing Tutorial", since it doesn't go over the structure of wings nor does it provide tips on crafting wings as opposed to wholesale copying your style of wing.

I doubt this wing "tutorial" would be very well accepted with my style -- a good wing tutorial does not instruct in one style (as you have done here) but teaches about the basic structure of a wing so others may take it and apply to their style.

However, I must say, these are beautiful wings. They are just not deserving of a tutorial all of their own.

What do you think?

The vision of this piece is obviously very clear, and I like very much how you separated the feather tutorial for us to understand your feather technique. I have never seen a tutorial on wings in this much detail; it's amazing how detailed every single pannel is... I can't imagine how long it must have taken.

Some suggestions for improvement would be a slightly less dark colour scheme, and maybe a skinnier layout for the tutorial with less panels in each horizontal line (as it can be a bit overwhelming.) Some colour here and there would have been nice too!

Overall I found this very helpful and I hope I get around to trying it sometime.
