How to Draw Correct Bat Parts on Anthrosby =shorty-antics-27

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Other

Here be a finished tutorial! For a long time I wanted to do a tutorial on bats... and little by little I've been getting more motivation to do so every time I saw a incorrect bat. IT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

SO, if you're wanting to have a bat character (WHO IS COMPLETELY A BAT. NO HYBRIDS AND WHATNOT) then please draw the bat correctly. Look at references. Don't just guess. AND DON'T DRAW CANID PARTS ON A BAT. GRAAAAAAAHHHHH.
I also think I'ma keep the bat character I made up at the bottom. :'D I LOVE Lesser False Vampire Bats. They are so cute. <3

Amazing tutorial!
That "wing vein" was a thing I've learned today.
I usually base dragonwings a bit on bats even if I sometimes skip the membrane between the thumb and shoulder.
Bat feets are way cooler than paws.
I've tried to draw a bat anthro for an arttrade it worked fine due to being a mix even if some anatomy ended up strangely but that's quite common for me anyway.

I think I'm somewhere between palm and "bony lump" in how to attach the "wingfingers".

What is your oppinion on "elbow spikes" on winged things?

I really like your OC Pierce for some reason. Perhaps it's the fact that he does have actual genitals that just are there and not in your face. That's hard to accomplish.

Glad it's helpful!
I say hand-looks or the bony lumps work. xD

I do not like elbow spikes. They look ugly.

Thank you~ I try to make Pierce as realistic and animalistic as I can with also having him still have a "human" side to him. :3

Like this one: [link]. I realised that I need to draw more, especially wings if my OC Skimmervinge gets to decide.

I do not like elbow spikes either. It looks like they do not support the wing and the bending of the wing would be impossible or difficult.
