  1. first we create the large part of the wing
    to do this, create a wavy line with the path tool
    the length doesn't matter because we can scale it
  2. then create a curved line from the top point downwards to make the head with a corner point
  3. continue with the body downwards to make the smaller part of the wing

a template can help well here but only as a guideline because otherwise it is tracing. ok for your own use but for no other use

create an oval circle and copy it several times and always change the shape
then create the same with circles in different sizes
