Tips for drawing wings? I love how you drew Vash and Nai!

aww that's nice to hear since i have no idea what I'm doing when drawing wings😭 ty <3 I'd suggest finding reference images from the specific angle you want to draw and tracing over it in big shapes, so you understand what goes where. I prefer to keep the wings less detailed/realistic and fluffier looking so i only add a few lines to indicate bigger feathers/bones and the rest is just "fluff" with a big soft brush. You can try breaking down the wing into shapes and only adding details to the more prominent areas, for example i usually focus on the bend of the bone, the primaries and the secondaries. For the rest of the feathers i kinda just do quick brush strokes here and there. Hope that helps somewhat:') think fur instead of feather to achieve a much fluffier look!
