Tutorial goal:
This tutorial is designed to show you how to create your own feathers in any shape or colour you desire. I will say at the outset that it is AN EXTREMELY DETAILED TUTORIAL so that even an absolute beginner to PST will be able to follow this. For those of you who are more experienced please bear in mind that we all have to begin somewhere and that is the reason for every minute detail being included in this tutorial. I am currently working on another tutorial whereby you will be able to create a complete set of wings using feathers you have created yourself.

I had trouble going from step 2 to step 3 without my path vanishing. You might want to mention that you should have shape layers on BEFORE drawing the path in step 2 so that when you go to edit the path it is still there! (Otherwise i it is just a work path.) (22 days ago)
