| Now that I've got all the coloring and shading
done, I can start fiddling around to get the wing just the way I like.
In the last picture, you may have notcied that the areas under the purple
feathers, the contour feathers for the primaries, were a lot darker.
They didn't look real to me, so I used some of the lighter color to
draw some hairs into them. This 'flattened' them out a bit, and helped
them not stand out from the wing so strongly.
I also added little shadows to the end of each of the primary and secondary
feathers, way down at the end. I did this just to add interest to those
feathers. |
