How to Draw Angel Wings

Traditional Angel Wings

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.

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.

Trace with a pen and erase unnecessary lines.

Color to your liking with shades of white!

Cartoon Angel Wings

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.
