Drawing Feathered Wings Basic Tutorial

Another tutorial from Dee Dreslough.

Step 7 - Interior Feather Guides

In this step, the wing really becomes a real-looking wing.Just as you did with the primaries, draw curved lines from the top of each guideline to the guideline below. This gives you the rounded ends of the feathers. Erase the guidelines themselves once you have all the feathers defined.  Also, like dragon scales, you can draw overlapping smaller feathers in the first area of the wing. I've drawn two rows here, and a few extra feathers up by the hand for visual interest. I left that guideline in to show you how to line the feathers up with it.
