Learn to draw awesome angel wings for your characters. Just follow these easy steps.
Steps
-
Draw three trapezoids of different sizes and orientations which are connected to each other. This will be the framework for the wings. -
Draw two straight lines with a space apart and which follow the orientation of the trapezoids – three layers are formed.Advertisement -
Draw the feathers for the first layer using simple and rounded curves. -
Draw the second layer of feather using simple curves and longer than the first layer feathers. -
Draw the third layer feathers using simple curves. The feathers are longer and more refined. -

Draw a slanted diamond. -
Draw 2 connected curves on the lower part of the diamond. -
Draw a row of fang-like ovals up until the end of the curve. Then create two more rows of ovals below the first row, making three rows of ovals in total. -
Draw the same ovals at the intersection of the diamond and the curve. This time, though, have the ovals gradually growing bigger and fanning out (see image). -
Draw bigger longer feathers, using rectangles with curved edges still following the direction of the fan. -
Ink your drawing, erase the sketch. -
Color your drawing, and then create a copy of it. There you have it—a pair of angel wings.

- It's okay if you mess up its not the end of the world.Thanks
