Fantasy characters such as angels, vampires and witches are widely used in manga and there are established ideas of how each of them should look. The choice of following these concepts is fully yours. You may want to provide the industry with a new definition for a vampire or an entirely new creature you make up yourself!
Angels are peaceful, kind and good-looking. This demonstration will show you the steps to creating a manga-style angel. I have chosen a very basic costume, but you can add more details to it.
Start off by sketching a basic standing pose for a male. I have sketched the face and hair as well. The hair has movement and adds majesty to the angel.
Sketch the clothes and legs. I have chosen a Roman dress design for this angel. Then outline the arms and draw the shoes as shown.
Erase the sketch lines. Add character details like the necklace and wristbands shown.
Draw the basic shapes for two huge wings. They don’t have to be exactly identical.
Start sketching the first layer of feathers as shown.
Draw the second layer of feathers, which are longer than the first ones.
Draw the third layer of feathers, which are finer.
Erase the guidelines and add color to finish your angel.
