Description It's long, but shouldn't take too long to load.
DA's categories suck.

Anyway, it's not the best wing I've ever doodled, but it'll give you an idea of how I make them.

It assumes you know your way around Illustrator a bit, like how to change the transparency, fill and outlines. This was made in Illustrator 10.0- I have never used Photoshop, so I wouldn't know how to translate this to that program. But if you can customize brushes in it, then the theory would probably be the same.

And I know my spelling is horrid! I typed it all in-program, and Illustrator doesn't have a spell-check.

Try downloading Gimp- it's free- and I think something similar can be done with it.

Interesting technique. I might use it (and adapt it for the various different avian feather types)

That's the fun part- it's just a simple brush, so it can be modified to meet any end. Lyre bird feathers, perhaps?

Wee! Thanks for the how-to! I will work out a way to make it work in PS - I will This is much too good to just pass down because it was made in illustrator ^^

Kaljaia In reply to Ixi-Da-Pixie [2009-03-06 02:53:58 +0000 UTC]

Illustrator's the only program (besides Gimp) that I've got. I'll play in Gimp later and see if I can adapt this for that.

Thanks much! The concept will probably work in any program.

I don't think Paint.net has anything to make brushes. Maybe GIMP?

Kaljaia In reply to kalmakoira [2009-03-06 02:53:04 +0000 UTC]

It's pretty simple. I haven't tried it in Gimp yet though, so we'll see how well it works there.

I hope it works there too ^^ I only draw with Photoshop though.

Illustrator's a fun program, but it has its limits. Try the demo before you buy it- it's a bit of a learning curve from photoshop or gimp.
