Draw Angel Wings

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.
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!

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.

You can change the color of the wings into blue for white backgrounds to make your wings stand out.
It's okay if you mess up its not the end of the world.
It's easier when you create it in Adobe Illustrator.
If your wing looks out of proportion change the size of your feathers.
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.
