Wings add a sense of freedom and flight to any symbol, and this tutorial shows how to draw a heart with wings featuring a red heart with white feathered wings spread on both sides. The wings extend outward from behind the heart, angled upward as if ready to take off. Learning to draw a heart with wings combines the classic love symbol with angelic imagery, creating a design often seen in tattoos, logos, and romantic artwork. The feathers layer naturally with curved lines suggesting individual plumes.
Adding Flight to a Heart
Through 10 steps, this guide builds the heart shape first, then adds symmetrical wings extending from each side. The feathered wings use layered curves to create that soft, angelic look with multiple rows of feathers.
Final Result: Flying Heart
Below is the completed winged heart ready for coloring
Other heart variations offer different approaches to this symbol. The simple heart tutorial covers the basic shape alone, while the heart with arrow guide adds Cupid’s touch instead of wings. The kawaii heart tutorial transforms the shape into a character with limbs and face. For more flying themes, check out the two lovebirds on branch guide. All these heart drawings will be gathered in a Valentine’s Day drawing collection on this site.
Step Progression
Colors indicate what to draw at each stage:
- Grey displays construction from earlier steps
- Red marks new additions for this step
- Black shows completed portions
Start with a balanced heart shape positioned in the center. The wings attach behind the heart at the upper sides, spreading outward and slightly upward. Each wing has multiple feather rows, with longer feathers at the bottom edge. Keep both wings symmetrical by matching the feather count and angles on each side. When you draw a heart with wings, work on one wing first, then mirror it on the opposite side. Sketch in pencil, ink your final lines, then erase. Color the heart bright red and leave the wings white with light gray shading between feather rows.
