Step 3.


Here are a variety types of wings I've drawn. I've seen these wing types in various animes before so I thought I'd share my knowledge. Mix and match wing types and styles to create a truly mind bottling and unique wing.

Description: Drawing anime and manga figures is a concept that many artists on this site love doing. That is why I wanted to make another cool tutorial that is based on the very thing that some of us love to create, and that is anime wings. You will learn "how to draw anime wings", step by step and with this tutorial you will get some pretty cool helpful tip steps to make drawing anime wings a whole lot easier. The character or figure I made for this tutorial is an anime fallen angel, and I think he came out pretty darn good. This is one of my favorite drawings that I have made in a long time, and I can't wait to submit the video lesson for it. The way that the angel is in position makes him even more desirable to sketch out. The drawing took me two hours to complete and that's not including making the tutorial steps. I had a hard time choosing what type of background to draw with this character, so I went back to some old lessons on some of the angels I've drawn over time, and looked at some ideas. Eventually I came up with this background and I think it works well with the anime fallen angel. All in all I think you will enjoy learning "how to draw anime wings", and if you have an idea you would like to see as a tutorial, let me know like always and I will see what I can do to get the lesson filled. Thanks guys for joining me once more with this brand new submission. I will be back later or even tomorrow so either come back or stick around for a few. Adios people and enjoy the rest of your drawing day!
