Sometimes I think that they go through ornitology and biology courses just to draw better. And even if not that, then they at least have to read some articles about it. Mad respect.
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!
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.
I love the way you explain how to draw things! It's always understandable, logical, and fun! I love drawing wings, so this was an extra fun one for me! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying to draw wings and understand how they work (Since I work with my own fantasy characters) and your videos always come across at the perfect time. :)
I had ( and still do ) fantasies with wings. They always always seem so fantastic and graceful and I always had trouble drawing them so, thank u for this information I longed to know.
it would be so cool to see you talk about the anatomy of dinosaurs, there are a lot of similarities between therpods and birds, and pterasaur wings are just so cool they work so weird
5:08 Of course, it would be handy to be a partial (& limited) shapeshifter who can change the shape and size of their wings (& other flight-related aspects); and, maybe even do it mid-flight, like a race I've made up.
Tutorial on how to be a bird I liked it, I needed it because I also like to understand the structure and the basis to be able to draw and put it into practice too To be able to understand and put into practice to summarize
Thank u so much I'm currently trying to learn how to make a character of my own and I am going for one that missed going to have Williams I know for sure that one of my characters when I eventually make one is going to have wings and now I can pick from which ones based on his personality thank you
@@alonelytrex3700 Nevermind I fucked it up, when the wing is open the feathers closer to the body overlap over those closer to the tip and when the wing is closed the feathers on the half of the wing closer to the body overlap over those in the other half with only the longer primaries bring visible
Hey do any of you know any birds that have cool wings? I’ve been trying to find one to inspire my oc off of but I know nothing about birds and googling “pretty birds” isn’t really working. (I’m looking for something that has a bit of a black and blue/purple colour scheme if that helps)
Most of the video: These wings have a variety of different birds that use them! The very end of the video: Except owls who do not care for standards of nature.
The bearded vultures are even more metal! They cover themselves in red dust as a sort of makeup, to seem like they're stained by blood and experienced fighters
Great i can now think of this: A. H.: goes into water A.H.: *drowns* A.H.: IM ALIVE A.H.: *tries to fly* AH.: *fails* (This is a crappy self insert as seen in the profile pic and she has owl-like wings and now thank you for listing a new flaw for this "OP on purpose" sus horse)
So, if I ever draw a birb human, they finna be tippy toeing everywhere lol. I can confirm albatrosses are js prettier seagulls cuz I have an albatross plushie

❤️❤️ raptor arms helped me learn how to draw wings but you extended my knowledgee
Ayy
The spine / claw on the top of the bat’s / dragon’s wings that the other fingers connect to IS THEIR THUMB so they do technically have 5 fingers
I thank you for not leaving this without mentioning owls and their variety. 😇 they are the bird wonders of the world
finally I can draw grian peacefully
Lol same
Me too
YES
Same!!
LMAO I knew this will be involved with cod boy

I will DEFINITELY be eagerly awaiting this video! All of my bird characters and my one harpy character thank you for this 🙇♀
could've made an EAGLEly joke but no i guess

Do you maybe have a video on flowers and/or plants? I find your tutorials very easy to follow, very clear instructions!
This is gonna be so awesome! I’ve waited so long! Hopefully this helps me draw wings on wolves.
& Why exactly do you want to draw wings on wolves?
@@gayratsinatrenchcoat because we all had that phase. Quite nostalgic to think about, really.
Just gotta say: never give up. In the future, you could even be the greatest artist of the century.
@@gayratsinatrenchcoat why would you not? It’s a wolf. With wings. Lol
@@_Gingi_BerriI never did. o3o
I thought I had a really good grasp on wings, but I'm excited to have learned that I can improve them! This was super comprehensive, thank you ^v^
I love the way you explain how to draw things! It's always understandable, logical, and fun! I love drawing wings, so this was an extra fun one for me! Thanks!
thank you so much for this!! ive always loved drawing wings and being able to draw them better is perfect!
Jessie is the only Narrator here i like,Im sure the others are lovely but Jessies voice is just so lovely
Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying to draw wings and understand how they work (Since I work with my own fantasy characters) and your videos always come across at the perfect time. :)
Omg! I'm working on a bird commission and this was JUST what I needed. Thank you 💞
I've been waiting for this for so long!
I can't do it any longer!
YOURE MY FAVOURITE ONLINE TEACHER FRL OMG
This is genuinely helpful, thank you!
Most of my characters have wings so I'ma need this
This was very helpful! Tysm! I appreciate you, and your work.

Can't wait!
THANKYOUUUUUUthankyouthankyouthankyou i have been STRESSING about correct wing anatomy on humanoids for WEEKS and NOW i can draw in PEACE💕
My art teacher used to show Winged Canvas all the time, so I had to go back and watch a few :)
This helped so much for me bc I love to draw people with bird qualities, so I finally can draw wings correctly! ❤
If birds stand on their toes… I’m a bird! I have a habit of walking on tippy toes without realizing
5:08 Of course, it would be handy to be a partial (& limited) shapeshifter who can change the shape and size of their wings (& other flight-related aspects); and, maybe even do it mid-flight, like a race I've made up.
Great work👍👍👍👍
Thanks lots!
may the seagulls bless you for this helpful video
I thought this would be another basic drawing tutorial, and it sorta is. But! We also got so much interesting bird facts. Im honestly impressed! 🤩✨
Tutorial on how to be a bird
I liked it, I needed it because I also like to understand the structure and the basis to be able to draw and put it into practice too
To be able to understand and put into practice to summarize
Fun fact: Albatross migrate about 10,000 miles!
My inner animal knowledge couldn’t be held back-
WHERE WAS THIS WHEN I NEEDED IT
Thanks!
Can you please do one for fairy wing physics? 🙂
We will add that to our planner!
thanks so much for going into depth about every type of wing!! well explained and very helpful
Rainbow bird?! I have chickens and I can confirm that this is correct anatomy!
As someone who is addicted to birds and such I loved this
This will really help thanks
BIRD ART CONTENT BIRD ART CONTENT ❤❤❤❤❤ I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOT SO LONG THANK YPU
What do you draw with? Like, the app, pen, etc.
This is the video I have been waiting for
this is a very good explanation omg- tyyyyyyy
Not me rewatching these types of videos 10 bajillion times to remember it
My characters (hybrids between wolves and big cats, but they are their own breed) use these wings, so thank you!
Thank u so much I'm currently trying to learn how to make a character of my own and I am going for one that missed going to have Williams I know for sure that one of my characters when I eventually make one is going to have wings and now I can pick from which ones based on his personality thank you
Yeeeeh, I found it!)
Love to draw wings.
Do you know how I can study drawing birds can help me dragon dragon wings in all different angles and position
Perhaps bats would be a better reference? They are closer yo what the average dragon is made to look like
This is amazing thank youuuu
Ok guys it’s time for actually interesting science class ✋✨
AAAAAA I have so many characters with bird wings. Or something very similar! This helps a lot!
Edit: also, what category would swans fall under?
Thanks Very Helpful
I needed this to draw more ducks i love ducks
This helped so much. Too much.
Can't wait!!!
I can finally properly draw satan now
Gay
your amazing thank you-
Very good
I usually draw each feather as individual large feathers
Thank you I love drawing wings but I can't do them that well
thank you, some of my books have winged people in them and i suck at drawing feathers on wings
*proceeds to be a digetagrate human*
How do the feathers overlap when the wings are folded halfway?
usually the feathers closer tho the tip of the wing overlap over the feathers closer to the body
@@Thebeetlemangr ok thanks! I’ll try that out!
@@alonelytrex3700 Nevermind I fucked it up, when the wing is open the feathers closer to the body overlap over those closer to the tip and when the wing is closed the feathers on the half of the wing closer to the body overlap over those in the other half with only the longer primaries bring visible
Really hope that makes sense

Winged anatomy for a Winged Canvas
*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSAAAAAS*
WHOOO-
am here in time for the premiere, can't chat for some reason but that's ok XD

Funfact: Alula also means Bastard Wing

god loves u❤
The bearded vultures are even more metal! They cover themselves in red dust as a sort of makeup, to seem like they're stained by blood and experienced fighters
Been learning bird anatomy just to draw hawk's wings from mha lol 😳
Do you plan on making skillshare classes? I use the platform myself and I think it'd be p cool to see your videos there and here on youtube
We have a skillshare! www.skillshare.com/user/winged_canvas
@@wingedcanvas oh my gosh! Thank you!
Now I can draw the long quiet yippee
What about the “inside” of the wings?
Can you do a video on bug anatomy on humans? Especially spiders.
In spain we call those vultures bone crushers (sounds better in spanish) because they drop bones from very high up to crush them
That crow.... Is it DarkXWolf17?!
( This was a great video. Its just I wanted to make a lil joke when I seen a certain bird)
how do we join the classes
My 6 winged Aasimar is grateful
Thank, now i know how to draw my favorite animal
Is the one that appear in the minute 6:02 lol
this lowkey felt like a khan academy video
My two favort alive bireds are flimings and giant condors my favoret exstint birds is the eliphint bird and i guess dodos
There are a few types of kingfishers who can enter a true hover
I believe the pied kingfisher is the largest bird that can truly hover
Can I be classified as digitigrade if I always walk around on my toes when I'm not wearing shoes?
nice
This is a special vid cuz her channel name is WINGED canvas😂
What about the bird tail?
I’m probably never, ever going to draw the aLuLa
Finally i found a vid bc my wings just look like foldy bones with spikes
Fun fact!
Owls are the only bird that become flightless when coming out of water!
Great i can now think of this:
A. H.: goes into water
A.H.: *drowns*
A.H.: IM ALIVE
A.H.: *tries to fly*
AH.: *fails*
(This is a crappy self insert as seen in the profile pic and she has owl-like wings and now thank you for listing a new flaw for this "OP on purpose" sus horse)
Finally I can draw Dumbo
dude Dumbo is a dog
Chibi anatomy plssssss tuts
Omg yeesss wingss
I feel like I’m getting a biology lesson goddamn
Yo
8:15 it’s wearing a shirt
So, if I ever draw a birb human, they finna be tippy toeing everywhere lol. I can confirm albatrosses are js prettier seagulls cuz I have an albatross plushie
Finally
