Feathers, Feathers, Feathers
When I drew up the eagle, I only outlined the bigger feathers and the more intricate feathers on the wing. So as I paint downwards (I nearly always paint left to right, top to bottom as I am right-handed), I am using a mid-tone colour to outline the larger feathers first. As I fill them in, I can add smaller ones in-between. Don't worry if the tones aren't right - the objective is to outline and fill in the blanks, leaving it to dry to go over again next time.
