i too would like to know.
i have my own style of feather drawing but it sometimes clashes with my other elements.
i always try to figure out different ways to do them but its very hard and frustrating(especially if you prefer pen like me ;I )
i honestly dont understand why this hasn't been addressed yet.

i honestly dont understand why this hasn't been addressed yet.
Because "how do I draw (fill in the blank)" posts never get much response, because the answer is always the same:
Observe.
Understand.
Draw.
Repeat as necessary.

yeah i have heard that before (simply stating, not being offensive or trying to smart mouth anyone!) but i was really hoping some people would post their techniques and maybe i'll even post mine to compare and contrast.
for some reason i feel an urge to help people when i can.
