RG easy painting

This is a simple step of how to do a Raven Guard Insignia for those who're interested.
note: for step 1-4, use Citadel Astronomicon Grey
step 1: Draw a line with small circle on top of it.
Then, draw a small diamond at the bottom.
step 2: On the line, draw an upside-down teardrop connecting the circle and the diamond.
Then you'll get this "vase" like shape. step 3: draw two lines close to the diamond, this will be the legs.
Next, put a small notch outwards from the circle for the beak.
step 4: draw the wings, do it slowly and carefully.
Even by doing it slowly, you should be able to finish it in a minute.
You can now see the bird shape already.
step 5: Enough with the foundation. Paint skull white over your bird.
Paint them nice and easy.
step 6: Finally with Chaos Black, put a small oval dot for the eye.
Then carefully draw the lines on the wings and tail.
And there you have it. A Raven Guard Insignia in an instant.
Next is just a matter of Adeptus Battlegrey highlights here and there and a few details.

Great tutorial. I was tearing my hair out trying to freehand this on paper. You've saved me from switching to black templars!
