Start by cutting out a few pieces of 2″x6″ (inches) as shown above from a cardstock. I used a paper cutter to cut the pieces as its more uniform as compared to scissors.
To create a dainty boho feather, begin by creating a tapered curve line as shown above in the centre of the paper.
Next, start to draw some small feathers just a few centimetres from the bottom of the curved line. And then add feathers along the curved line in an oval shape. Feel free to follow my example as shown above.
Get a fine tipped Micron pen or a dip pen to trace over the outline of the feather illustration. To add details inside the feather , I use Uni Posca pens. Create dots, convoluted lines or anything boho to fill in the feather. I try to keep it minimalistic by using just black ink.
To add a wordy element to the feather, I used gold ink to to write a small reading related quote on the quill of the feather. You can use any bright color to create a contrast with the black ink. Isn’t it as easy as ABC?
