Just a little referance sketch I did really quickly in case anyone was stumped on bird wings o_O I only did the dorsal side though :/

If you guys don't like it, I could redo it with color coding for the feather placement instead, because this looks rather sloppy o_O

I know, I really messed up on the marginal coverts >.>

Yep! what a great reference...I still can't draw good wings (well "good" means wings like this...mine are always invented )

Omg! I wish I would have seen this before I drew my birds, which, might I add, hardly compare to yours! You've got your bird anatomy down. This wing and feathers, just amazing!
And this did help me. Wings are the hardest for me, but now I see how they fit together.
