Humanoids with wings: feather edition

(Description: a digital painting of my own character morianten. He is a young man with warm tan skin and large feathery wings plus a matching tail, sitting on a rock. His wings and tail are light blue on the inside and dark green on the outside, with black and beige stripes respectively. He also has two longer feathers on his tail, soft fold feathers on his back, and more feathers all over his body, arms, and face, including feather-like hair pulled into a ponytail.)

This is just a brief introduction post because oh man I have a lot of thoughts on this subject and it is taking a while to organize them concisely.

I love drawing wings on people but the anatomy sure can be frustrating. Where do the arms go so they're not in the way of the wings? Where is the best placement for the wings? How would that skeleton and musculature look? Maybe not necessarily questions everyone asks, but I sure do. Winged people often eend up looking a bit photoshopped, because it's easier to draw a person and then draw wings and not worry too much about how they connect.

But if you want to go into more detail with a realistic appearance, my next series of posts should help. I will discuss how I've modified the skeleton and muscles, as well as some basic explanations on feather structure.

And here are all the posts in this series:
