Its pretty easy to make good looking wings with the use of the Photoshop! This tutorial requires a little knowledge with using the Pen Tool in making irregular shapes. If you are not familiar with the use of the Pen Tool, I suggest look for other tutorials in the web for at least a basic overview on how it is used.
Lets start off with a new canvas with a black background, preferrably a big canvas size so you can have a lot of space to work on. Colors should be reset to black and white.

Create a new layer. Then wiith the Pen Tool, make the shape of a wing. It may or may not be similar to the one shown on the left.

Once you have made the desired wing shape, fill it in with white. Simply "right click" your mouse and choose Fill Selection and press OK. Right click on the mouse again and choose Delete Path to take out the lines done with the Pen Tool.

Next, grab the Smuge Tool and choose a fairly medium brush and adjust the pressure of the smuge. I used a 10px sized brush with 70% pressure.
With that, smuge the egdes of the wing being very careful to preserve its contours. It takes a while to perfect the strokes. Just keep on trying and eventually it will look fine. "
Found This tutorial Searching for Wings as I found that 13dots one and in my opinon it sux. This ones much better.
I've been using PS properly for about a week, i had never even used the pen tool till now, all you have to do is experiment, the wings took me about an hour to complete. I had to redo them though due to not layering the left wing haha
