START
Even though we are drawing an angel with wings, we will save the wings until we have worked out the body's position. Use an articulated stick figure with elbows, ankles, wrist, knees, and shoulders to pose the body.  For interest, have the near arm and leg pass over the far one.  Place the trumpet in this first step, so it is positioned well.

BODY
After the stick figure is posed, use ovals and loops to flesh out the body with the curves and contours of muscle. Add the wing nearest you as a triangle that is curved outward at the top point.

DETAILS
The face and hands are hard for some. The eyes are halfway down since the angel is blowing a trumpet to draw her eye closed; it is just a line with a slight downward curve. The mouth is like a sideways "W" with the trumpet in the middle. Draw a curve for the puffed-out cheek.

The hands are easy if you think of them as mittens. The thumb on the near hand is inside toward the face, and it is behind the trumpet. The hand holding the trumpet is like a square with the thumb coming off the side. The far hand is flat, and the thumb is down.

The feet can be hidden inside the long robe if they are too hard to draw. They have a round circle at one end attached to a triangle bent slightly away from the body.

The wings are like triangles with feathers on them. To help space the feathers evenly, mark off the spacing before you draw them in.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Draw the robe as flowing lines that gracefully go around the body.  Add the far wing by drawing only a few feathers showing behind the front wing and the wing's top, giving the far wing less detail than the near one. Draw the headband on the angle. The hair can be flowing waves. If you shadow the far wing, the hair will look brighter.
