And as for the textures, it's kind of hard to say since I did this over a year ago and no longer have the original. All I can say is that I did a light base layer on the darker feathers first and then just paid very close attention to the shadows to create the appearance of separate feathers and clumps of feathers. If you're using a photo, don't try to make up the shadows since they really help define the direction of the feathers, which makes them much more real than if they were uniform and flat. Other than that, it was just the work of pencil precision and some tissue-smudging. :)
