Sharing my wing tutorial for bluesky people! It's light and focuses on propatagium, something that I often found missing when working on client designs. Lastly, check the Alt. text for some commentary. Hope it's helpful! #artsky#tutorial#art#wings#sciart

The image shows oversimplified and idealised wings. Great for some fantasy settings but the bone structure is totally awry.
This image focuses on the leading edge of the wing - the propatagium. It's a membrane that fills the gap between the wrist and shoulder, creating a nice aerodynamic shape.
Final image shows skeletal schematic of the flying vertebrates forelimb: the bat, the bird, the pterosaur. With a funny comparison to the human hand.

I never knew the name until just now, but I remember years back realizing what it was, and it became one of my favorite parts of a wing to draw. Knowing what it is makes posing far simpler, and lends even fantasy wings so much more feeling of mass and strength.

This is so helpful- I run into this a lot too. Half the time I'm sat here fretting "did the artist who made the ref just not know how to draw wings or is this a design choice made on purpose that makes no physical sense?!?!?"
