Wing Study

Description

I am thoroughly dissatisfied with the way I draw wings. I am not good at them and my artwork has suffered for it.

...

So I did a wing study to try and improve myself. Turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. I definitely learned a lot which was the whole point, so I'd say it was a success whether or not my work improves.
Did you know that a bird's wing is actually eerily similar to a human arm? Really. It has three joints and all.

Good study! And yes, you you want to study the movement of a bird's arm, it is often helpful to look at the structure of a human arm.
