Flip the design horizontally.2. Select the wing.3. Copy it.4. Flip the design back.5. Paste it. 6. Move it into place.7. Trim the edges with the

lasso and eraser tools.8. Flatten the layers. You also have the option of simply drawing both wings and then outlining the whole design with a sharp, black colored pencil (Figure 1).
