SURE THING!:

Step 1: Get References!!!!!!!!!  M A N Y   R E F E R E N C E S ! 1! ! !!! 

YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE INTERNET AT YOUR DISPOSAL SO MIGHT AS WELL USE IT :D !!!

Step 2: Look at the references and break the wings down by basic shapes and lines. Begin with a simple extended wing reference to begin with.

Start with 3 basic lines for where the bones are and build up from there, by then adding outline shape-blocks. Usually I start with 2 flexible trapezium shapes and a triangle, because that works for me, then I add 2 seperate lines across the wing to see where the different feather layers are going to be.

If you scribble in different colours so that you can see the parts for your future self when you look back at it.

Practice this step at least 20-30 times on a random scrap of paper and just play around with it !

Step 3: When you’ve gotten the general idea of how to do the initial shaping, put the shapes into practice with your ref to better understand poses and movement to create flying boxes. 

If you’re looking for a very specific shape of wing, you should use the breakdown over the wing type in question and see what proportions you need to get the shape. Don’t jump ahead to doing any individual feathers or decorations just yet though.

Step 4: Repeat a minimum of 100 times in different ways, not spending any more than 2 minutes on a flying box, and keep going until you feel confident that you can do them on your own. 

Mastering something isn’t about making something look absolutely perfect, its about being able to do something without thinking about it, and if you can challenge yourself to draw at least 10 wings a day, by the end of the week you’ll have 70 different iterations and find that each time you’ll get faster at it and be able to do much more dynamic variations.

It doesn’t matter how long it takes, how many you put onto a page, or how scruffy they look, so long as you just practice what you’re drawing until you feel comfortable with it.

Step 5: After you’ve got to a point where you’re comfortable with the shape, then you should start experimenting with how you draw the wings with your own style; eg- if you find that you like to meticulously draw in every single feather, or if you prefer to just keep them simple and clean, thats down to you and what appeals to you.
