BEGINNINGS
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later. Draw a cross for the tombstone.
To get the pose right, use an articulated stick figure with elbow, knees, hips, and shoulders. You may have to try a few times before you get it just right. Pose the figure around the cross or tombstone. Save the wings and robe for later.

DEVELOP FORM
Around the stick figure, draw the shape of the arms and legs, so they are rounded. The head is turned down, so you draw the top and hair, like two circles. The hand is a narrow curve like the letter "C" and hides the face.

ADDING DETAILS
The angel is holding a wreath. Draw it as a circle and fill in the circle with leaves and flowers.
The robe is simple; it has a belt at the waist but is flowing lines around the body.

FINISHING TOUCHES
The wings are not perfect since she is grieving. Add the feathers in rows. Make the background dark for contrast.

YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

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.

PRINTABLE NOTES

Use an articulated stick figure to perfect the pose and help with the composition.  An articulated stick figure is a stick figure with joints and girth in the chest and hips.

The hips are above the halfway mark, and the elbows are at the narrowest point of the waist.

COMPOSE
Begin by sketching lightly since you will be erasing later on. Draw the pose you want your angel to have; the example in the worksheet below has the angel with hands extended in greeting. You may want your angel to hold a candle, musical instrument, songbook, or not holding anything but have arms in the air for celebration.

CLOTHES
Once you have determined the pose draw the figure over the stick figure and add the robes. The example borrows the seasonal red with white trim for the robe and uses the traditional white gown underneath a gold belt and collar. Let the lines of the garment flow and have grace. The waist is narrower than the chest, and the hips are as wide as the shoulders.

HANDS

The hands are hard for some young artists, so I suggest keep them simple, draw them like mittens. The thumbs are up because the hands are held outward and palm up. If you want fingers, then draw three or four. The feet are just ovals with sandals.

FACE
Keep the face simple. The head is shaped like an egg, and the eyes are halfway from the crown of the head to the chin. Draw the eyes as dots with a curving line going out for the eyelid. The eyebrows are just a curve over the eyes. The mouth is a straight line with a wide "U" underneath. Just two dashes make the nose. Draw the hair last as a lot of little loops going down onto the shoulders.

WINGS AND STUFF
The wings look like a great big letter "M." Start with a circle on each side of the head. To the circle, add a line that curves out and away for the outside edge of the wing. There are three rows of feathers. Use a guideline to keep them even on both sides. You can make the rows go straight across or angled down and away. The example in the worksheet is down and away. Draw only three or four feathers on each row. Keep them simple.

Over the head, you can put a halo if you like; since she is the Christmas Angel, she has the Christmas Star in her halo.


Color the robe red and the gown very light blue. I like the wings to be white but added a little blue for the shadows.
