Question

How do I draw the angel wings folded/closed up?

Community Answer

If you can see the joints in the wings, divide the wing into the sections created by the joints, and scrunch it up a bit. Keep most of the feathers pointed downwards.

Tips

Make the feathers spread out and go across. You can also add feathers sticking out at the end of each row for a unique look. They don't have to be the same size. Make them as big or as small as you want!!!

You can change the color of the wings into blue for white backgrounds to make your wings stand out.
