My first feathers looked like finger grapes hanging from a vine!!!!!! It takes practice with paper pencil, and I have found "think half a heart" sometimes helps......There are several designers/teachers and each has a trick or two that works for them so you just have to try them all, and find the best way for you, but it does not happen overnite, at least not with most of us....and even when you think you know what you are doing, every so often, those finger grapes sneak it!!!!!!!!!
