Drawings of Angels

You can use these drawings of angels to help at the start and then simply make some adjustments and develop your own idea of how an angel appears.

I like to keep these angel drawings in pencil as simplistic as I can, so you will be able to add whatever detail you want.

This is the easiest angel outline (below) that I could design at this stage. You can find more links to angel drawings towards the bottom of the page.

At this stage, the wings are only drawn in as straight lines because if you are starting to draw, you need to keep everything simple.

When you are feeling more adventurous, of course you will take more time with the drawing and fill in a lot more detail.

Drawing angel wings can be time consuming but it's worth it when you see what results you can get.

Angel Details

An angel is a spiritual being created by God. Angel is derived from a Greek word meaning messenger.

Angels live in heaven and are messengers between God and humans.

We know angels sometimes act as a guardian to individuals.

They are pictured as having a human body with wings.

Most religions teach about angels.

Angels are portrayed as symbols of innocence or virtue and they are immortal.

Fallen angels are rebels who belong to Satan. They did not agree with the nine orders of angels.

If you have heard of Archangels, they are a higher rank of angel.

Just Keep Drawing

This is a drawing of a cherub. A cherub is an order of angel.

Hmm, well, I liked doing the pencil drawings of angels but I must say it is not the easiest subject I have tackled so far.

I'll have to keep practicing doing the angel drawings and using the angel outline.

I have now added drawings of angel wings on a seperate page.

There's another angel drawing along with some sketches of different types of wings. I hope you think I have improved a little!

There is also a nice and simple outline of an angel on the page with some drawings of Christmas.
