Step 8: Designing pt. 6: Detailing the Rest of the Body and Wings

Start by takinig a line halfway across the main body oval.  Make a regular triangle and move it close to the edge so that a face is on the line that you drew.  Pattern this triangle so that it is evenly spaced across the bird.  My triangles are spaced 1.75" and there are three of them. Make another detail on the body for the bottom layer of the details.  Use the same process for this.  I only have two triangles on the bottom row.  Once you have your design as desired, extrude AROUND the triangles so that it looks like they are sticking out.

Start a sketch on the left wing for those details.  Start by drawing an arc above the base arc of the wing.  Offset this arc three times, so you have four arcs inside of the wing.  The gap between the base arc and the first arc can be whatever you want, but the next distance needs to be .125", because we are using a .1" tool as our smallest.  We are going to have two gaps like this, so space the next arc however you want, but place the last one .125" away from the third arc. The offsets will not be perfect and connect to the edge, so just use a line to close the gap from arc to edge.Once you have all of the arcs placed how you like, mirror all of them across to the other wing.  You are now done with the body detail.  You can still do whatever you want, but I'm going to move on.
