How to create feather wings and attach them on sphere?

Question

I want to create a wing to attach it on a sphere in blender. How can this be done? Should i use grease pencil to achieve this or use other tools? I am new to the blender.

I want this in 3d and very similar to the attached image.

Using your reference image, here is a quick solution:

Under the Properties panel in the 3D viewport, enable Background Images, then click Add Image. Pressing Open will bring you to a file browser; here, select your winged ball image.

Switch to orthographic view (5 on the numpad), than press (on the numpad) 7. Add a plane, then go into edit mode. Select all of the points but one and delete them. Move the point to the edge of the wing in the picture. Then, pressing E (for extrude) make a line around the wing. After getting to the end, select both end points and press F to fill in a line.

The line is finished along the whole wing:

Now that the whole outline is created, press F to fill the area with a face. Exit "Top Orthographic" view. Press E while the whole outline is selected to extrude the outline and add depth to the wing.

Here is the finished wing:

Here is what I made with this:

Hope this helps!
