How to Draw a Person with Wings: Basic Information
The person with wings is quite an ancient story. Many peoples and civilizations created their own myths about how a person can fly. During the Renaissance, brilliant designers and mechanics tried to create prototypes of individual aircraft. But drawing airplanes is a completely different story; today we will draw a person with wings.
Like all the lessons on our site, this will be very simple. A cartoonishly simplified drawing style will help you cope with this task. The only difficult point here is the angle. Our person with wings deviates a little to the side. So, this creates a dynamic effect, which is very important to maintain in order to get a cool result.

How to Draw a Person with Wings
- Draw the head and torso.
Depict the head and torso, which are in the same plane and slightly tilted forward. Remember that the wings will be very large and we will need a lot of space.
- Depict the hands.
On the sides of the body, add the arms that are raised and turned to the sides with palms up. For the first time, we encounter the peculiarities of the perspective. The arm farthest from us looks much smaller than the one closest to us.
- Sketch out the legs.
With smooth lines draw the legs in the same position as in my example.
- Add elements of the face.
Draw the round eyes, small nose and mouth. It’s as simple as possible. Avoid unnecessary detail in this step.
- Draw the hair and outline of the clothes.
Depict the hair. Add the neckline, sleeves, the lower outline of the clothes and the outline of the shoes.
- Draw the wings.
Depict two large wings behind the back with smooth curved lines. The different sizes of the wings greatly emphasize the dynamic angle. The wing closest to us is much larger and longer than the character’s body.
- Detail the wings.
With the help of curved lines of different sizes, draw a lot of feathers on the wings. Don’t it have to be some smooth lines. Avoid placing these figures too closely.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Use the eraser to remove all the extra lines in your drawing and correct the mistakes.
- Color the drawing.
Color the hair and skin with natural shades. You will also need gray, blue, and brown.
Improving Your Artwork
As always, we recommend more practice. In our case, the most difficult moments are perspective and proportions. To avoid problems with this, try to draw a few more similar people with wings with slightly different poses and slightly different angles. Try to avoid a frontal angle. Practice this only if our version is too difficult for you.
