Drawing Angel Wings

Video Transcript

"All right, in this clip we'll be doing wings, and we've already started giving a little bit of a different look to our angel to begin with. We've given him sort of a coming up out of the, down from down below, into the, into the frame sort of look, instead of drawing him standing there straight, he's flying kind of up and at us. So, we're going to make his wings spread out, in very big fashion. Give him a big arc to the wings, just draw two, two little, you know, outward swoops like that, and then come in and really give his wings definition there. See how we did that? We kind of start out like that, and then gradually build the feathers bigger, until we come in like that. And that should complete, roughly, the look of the outer edges of his wings. Now, it's really up to you, at this point, how detailed you want to get. You can really go crazy and add a lot of feathers. For my money, less is more. I don't like to add too many because it starts to get distracting, and one rule is you never want to be so distracting that you take away from the picture. So just kind of start detailed along the edges, give a few little connecting swoops in there to give it some layers, and then just slowly, just kind of work your way into less detailed lines, as you work your way in. And that will complete the rough look of the wings there, and that looks pretty good, for my money. I mean, you could even draw them bigger, if you wanted to. I mean, it really just depends on what look you want to achieve. But for serious, more graphic novel-style like angel, this is looking pretty good. You know, you can always build off it from there. So yeah, there are the wings. Looking pretty good, if I do say so myself. And that, will roughly complete the serious angel, and we'll move on now to the more serious, more sinister-looking demon."
