How to Draw a Heart with Wings Drawing Guide

Follow these basic steps to create your very own winged heart drawing. By the end, you’ll have a cool heart drawing that you can customize however you like!

Step 1: Draw the Heart Shape

Start by sketching a simple heart in the center of your paper. Focus on creating a smooth and symmetrical outline. The top of the heart should be rounded, and the point at the bottom should come to a neat tip.

Step 2: Refine the Heart Shape

Now do the same thing on the other side. Make sure the top of the heart is rounded, and the point at the bottom comes to a neat tip. Adjust as needed to achieve a balanced shape.

Step 3: Create the First Row of Feathers

On each side of the heart, sketch small, curved lines resembling flower petals to create the first layer of feathers. Near the top of the heart, these lines should flare slightly upward, while those on the bottom half should curve gently downward. This approach helps give the wings a graceful and flowing look.

Step 4: Add More Feathers

Start half way up the heart each getting slightly larger as you move upward. This layering creates a realistic feathered look that makes your heart with wings come to life.

Tips for Success

  • Go over your drawing with a black marker or pen to make the lines bold. Erase any pencil marks once the ink is dry. You can also add decorative elements like smaller hearts, swirls, or stars to make your symbol of love truly unique.
  • Use red for the heart to create a vibrant red heart and soft blues, purples, or white for the wings. Feel free to experiment with your favorite colors to make this a happy drawing that reflects your personality.
  • Take your time with the feathers. They don’t have to be perfect, but layering them neatly will make your wings look more realistic.
  • Personalize your heart line drawing with patterns or shading to add depth and interest.
