  • Question
    How do I draw the angel wings folded/closed up?
    Community Answer
    If you can see the joints in the wings, divide the wing into the sections created by the joints, and scrunch it up a bit. Keep most of the feathers pointed downwards.

      Tips

      • Make the feathers spread out and go across. You can also add feathers sticking out at the end of each row for a unique look. They don't have to be the same size. Make them as big or as small as you want!!!
        Thanks
      • You can change the color of the wings into blue for white backgrounds to make your wings stand out.
        Thanks
      • It's okay if you mess up its not the end of the world.
        Thanks
