Hi! Do you have any tips for drawing people with wings? The main character of my comic has wings, but i… can’t draw them. This is becoming an itty bitty (read: massive) problem. Any help helps at this point honestly haha

I'll share some pictures I find useful.

Here's a bad picture of using the basic shapes for the wings

And then you can see how I used that as the base to tell me where to put feathers

The trick with wings is not to get TOO detailed (IMO). You don't want to make the picture so busy you can't take it in but, mainly, you may be miserable drawing allll the feathers. That's how I approach it. Some people do all the feathers and add more details and it looks great!

For putting them on people, you can see from the back that it's sort of like putting a pair of arms on the shoulder blades. Yes, technically that wouldn't work sooper well, but none of this works when you think about it lol.

You can also check my wings tag, which has a lot of references.

Hope that helps and let me know if you have any more questions!

Kokabiel’s character sheet!! A pretty boy! A good angel!! ✨

He’s technically a fallen angel, but that’s not a bad thing in this lore. It just means he doesn’t work for the Angelic Host (and that regime kinda does bad things a lot! He wants no part).

Kokabiel also loves love. 💞 His long term partner is Chamuel, and he’s also with Ephiel and Sariel (once they got free). Plus, he has a few flings! Or more than a few~

He spends a lot of time nurturing animal-like spirits back to health, gardening the stars, and generally avoiding human affairs—as the intensity of this planet stresses him out quickly.

That said, he does have a few human lifetimes! He reincarnates into Nano (the boy crying on the street in a recent painting) and he’s also another OC named Jesse that I haven’t drawn yet. In every life, he’s a simp and a cutie 🥰

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.
