We're back with another video on wings! This time we go further in depth covering bird anatomy, feather placement, and 5 different types of wing shapes. Depending on the character you're drawing, you'll want to consider how wing structure impacts their flying style. Do they soar like a seagull or hover like a humming bird? 🦅

Not related to this video, but my art teacher showed the class your texture video, which is one of the few I’ve not watched. I can’t really spend the time to find it right now, but I just want to say that you did an amazing job explaining!

@teaartist6455 Жыл бұрын

Hey, a good wing tutorial! They're so rare to find and it's even rarer to find one that only has minor mistakes. Just a few things: You kind of forgot about the propatagium, which is a bit of skin in front of the wing containing the patagial tendon. This helps smooth over the leading edge as well as keep the wing from folding too much, as completely stretching it would reduce the power it could generate, wind of how it's easier to lift stuff if you don't fully stretch out your arm. It's especially important to keep in mind with bat wings where everything is clearly on display. Generally all wing feathers and often to some extent the tail feathers are there to make a big surface area. The main bit of steering happens with the alula, tail and primaries as well as good old leaning to one side or the other. The secondaries are actually very firmly anchored and can't really be moved much so their involvement in steering is minimal to nonexistent. (The primaries do make up the majority of the wing in hovering birds, though). The alula is also more in-line with the primaries, not covering the wrist as you depicted. An easy trick is that the wrist is where the wing bends a little and the finders that the feathers attach to originate from there.
