Description: Okay people, today I am going to show you all how to draw a feathered wing in complete detail. If you work with Photoshop this will be a helpful tutorial for anyone that needs help drawing and coloring a feathered wing. A feathered wing is a very versatile object to draw because you can draw it for many different things. For instance, if you are looking to draw an angel but don’t know exactly how to draw angel wings, this tutorial can show you how to do that, or how about if you want to draw a massive bird like an eagle or an owl, this is the tutorial to use. Feathered wings are not only found on angels and birds they are also drawn on gryphons, fairies, flying horses like Pegasus, and other creatures like the phoenix and even some dragons have feathered wings. Now just because you might have trouble drawings out wings, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try and use this drawing tutorial to the best of your ability. This tutorial will really show you "how to draw a wing". When you are done you will be able to add this addition to any of your drawings that call for a wing. I have always liked drawing single parts of an animal’s body. As a matter of fact I find that is the easiest way to learn how to draw anything whole. I always tackle one object of the body of an animal or human at a time. For example; if I want to learn how to draw the head of an eagle I will just practice on the head first and then move onto another part of the bird like the talons or body. At any rate this is a great tutorial for novice and intermediate folks alike. So if you want to get better at drawings wings stop now and start practicing with this tutorial. I will be back with two more tutorials for you all to learn from and I hope that you have fun with this one. Peace out my fellow artist, I shall return soon.
