Drawings of Angels

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

Below I designed what I thought is the easiest angel outline for you (and me!) to practice with.

At this stage, the wings are only drawn in as straight lines because at the very beginning, you need to keep everything simple.

When you teach yourself to draw, you have to search for the most basic drawings to copy. Your ability to copy easy drawings then turns into motivation for you to continue practicing and improving.

Of course, when you become more adventurous, you need to allow more time to complete a drawing with careful detail.

I had been drawing for only one year at the time I tried to draw angels so there is much improvement to be made with these specimens. Drawing the human body is a challenge all on its own so it is best to allow that skill to happen with practice and time.

Learn about Angels

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.

Archangels are a higher rank of angel.

Just Keep Drawing

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

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

I'll have to keep practicing doing the angel drawings and using the angel outline. Currently, I look and copy to the best of my ability and I am enjoying the artwork I have created so far.

I used a 2B mechanical pencil on photocopy paper to draw the angels.

Drawing angel wings can be time consuming but it's worth it when you see what results you can get. If you follow that link to see my angel wings, you will also see my next angel drawing. I hope you think I have improved a little!

Here is another simple outline of an angel that is great to use for all craft projects.
