Draw an Anime Fairie or Angel
Anime fairies and angels can be classified with three simple criteria: wings, eyes and clothes. The wings may be large or small. The only thing you need to worry about is actually drawing them! The eyes must be large and with unrealistic colours in order to be classified as 'anime'. And clothes? They should be stylish and beautiful. Here is how to draw a fairy/angel.
Steps
- Pick a look and a pose. It could be a happy look, gorgeous look, or rich-looking.
- Draw the head shape and roughly sketch out the pose of the angel or fairy you pictured in your mind. Don't worry about voluptuous curves or too-thin lines; you can rub these out later and replace them with any kind you want.
- Sketch out the hair, facial features and any jewelry, piercings, or other accessories you wish them to have. Make sure you capture the mood or feeling you want your picture to have in their body language and facial expressions.
- Now add clothes, wings, antennae, and/or a tail to your angel or fairy. Sketch them roughly and do not make any dark lines you may regret later. Remember to over-accessorize if they're rich and keep it simple if they're poor.
- Now it's time to look over your picture. Does it express the feelings you wanted it to? Do the clothes outline who it is and what it is? Does the look of your angel or fairy reflect its personality? Is there anything you'd like to change? If so, make the changes.
- Darken the lines you want to keep, but keep the detailed textures you may have added to clothing or hair (don't add texture if you're going to color).
- Add color (optional) Colour adds personality to anyone and anything. Depending on what kind of fairy/angel you are creating, you may want to coordinate the colours specially. For a water fairy, shades of blue, green, and other cool colours would be well suited. A fire fairy would be colored in red, orange, yellow, and so on. You can also coordinate the colours of its surroundings.
- Admire your beautiful picture and share it with others! If you would like, you could frame it and display it on a wall.
Tips
- Use a quality graphite pencil if possible, along with textured paper or some kind of sketch paper if you have it.
- Practice. The more you practice, the better you will get at drawing anime characters. Good luck!
- Look at pictures of a fairy/angel. This may give you ideas for the position and colours.
