Suggester's words: Realistic Wing Tutorial - P.1 by ~Sunnybrook1 is an amazing tutorial that would be useful to anyone who wants to make a pair or real working wings for a costume or for fun. I was very pleased to see that the deviant took her time to research and make the wings as accurate and realistic as possible and also being thorough in her methods. This tutorial would make any bird lover happy in their heart to see something like this.

Hey! I'm a little confused about the length of feather and shaft, I'm trying to do pigeon wings and I have the measurements, I'm just confused on what to do for the cardboard cutouts. Do I make all primaries and the same size and just give them bigger shafts? Sorry I'm stupid. do secondaries also get shafts??
