Anyway, while reading the tags and comments on said tutorial, I noticed a lot of people expressing a desire for a bat wing version. So here’s a little guide I whipped up on them!
Bat wings are simpler than bird wings in that there’s no feather structure to learn, but you do need to learn the bones. Once you get the hang of those though, they’re pretty easy!
Bat photos are all kinda same-y to be honest (likely due to them mostly being nocturnal), and don’t do a good job of showing how those babies work. So, slowmotionvideosarereallyhelpful!
I love this so much! I made a similar tutorial YEARS ago but it was hideous and poorly organized and I’m so happy this exists ;-; What wonderful wings! And that’s a great trick about the first digit!

Perfect use of the Golden Spiral in composition. Everything causes your eye to flow right to the main characters. It starts with the street sign, moving to the giraffe necks, the curve of the polar bear’s back, the cheeks of the cheetah, straight to the focal point. Even in a busy, complex scene, you can easily lead the eye to what you want it to rest on.
Co-worker and I were LITERALLY talking about this earlier and how it’s really well composed and that it seemed to follow the golden spiral. And bam guess what, it does! Well done poster designer.
