An animation of a flying creature is very complicated to create with the wings flapping in perspective, the feathers changing length and position with movement, and there is a certain rhythm that must be followed. However, there is a method to do this in an easier way.
In the tutorial we’re going to see, we show the flight mechanics to build wings from scratch in any pose, how to draw feathers as quickly as possible with a simple Adobe Photoshop trick, and how to build a body that follows the movement of the wings. Last but not least we will see how to paint the creature in a simple way.
