Blue Wings

Blue Wings are a type of image composition technique often seen in anime, comics, and manga when drawing character's wings. They involve representing the feathering of the wings as a flat shape using blue layers of gradation. By blending the gradation together in a way that slightly overlaps the edges of the wings, the artist is able to create a realistic effect of feathering with fewer individual feathers. The colour blue is used in order to give depth and dimension to the character's wings.

Anime, manga, comics, character, wings, blue gradation.
