    Sometimes I think that they go through ornitology and biology courses just to draw better. And even if not that, then they at least have to read some articles about it. Mad respect.

    Hey, a good wing tutorial!
    They're so rare to find and it's even rarer to find one that only has minor mistakes.
    Just a few things:
    You kind of forgot about the propatagium, which is a bit of skin in front of the wing containing the patagial tendon.
    This helps smooth over the leading edge as well as keep the wing from folding too much, as completely stretching it would reduce the power it could generate, wind of how it's easier to lift stuff if you don't fully stretch out your arm.
    It's especially important to keep in mind with bat wings where everything is clearly on display.
    Generally all wing feathers and often to some extent the tail feathers are there to make a big surface area.
    The main bit of steering happens with the alula, tail and primaries as well as good old leaning to one side or the other.
    The secondaries are actually very firmly anchored and can't really be moved much so their involvement in steering is minimal to nonexistent.
    (The primaries do make up the majority of the wing in hovering birds, though).
    The alula is also more in-line with the primaries, not covering the wrist as you depicted.
    An easy trick is that the wrist is where the wing bends a little and the finders that the feathers attach to originate from there.
