D1 Feather Tutorial

It doesn't really matter too much what the background color is, I just chose black to make sure the feather showed up better.
 After choosing the background make a slightly curved line using a thick brush and the color you want the feather to be.
 then make shrink the brush down to a smaller point for the shaft of the feather
 after drawing the shaft, using the blur tool at about the same size as the brush used for the shaft, set at a lower strength and pull the color out away each stroke starting at the shaft (helps to experiment with the strength to find out what works best for the feather your working on)
 after you have the general feather look down I took the eraser and got rid of the rounded bottom of the feather to finish up the quill. 
and thats it for my Feather tutorial.
