Er wurde am 16. Oktober 1854 in Plauen als Sohn eines Baumeisters geboren. Er begann in Leipzig Rechtswissenschaft zu studieren, wechselte aber bereits 1874 durch den Schriftsteller Joseph Victor von Scheffel bestärkt an die Dresdner Kunstakademie. Dort brach er sein Studium allerdings bereits 1875 ab und blieb der Akademie in späteren Jahren nur lose durch den Kompositionsverein "Mappe" verbunden. Nach dem Tod des Vaters zog er in dessen Plauener Haus und wirkte dort ab 1878 als Illustrator. Sein Talent und seine Beobachtungsgabe ließen ihn autodidaktisch zu einem der bedeutendsten spätromantischen Zeichner werden.
Illustrationen von Hermann Vogel erschienen unter anderem 1881 in den Auserwählten Märchen von Hans Christian Andersen, 1887 in den Volksmärchen der Deutschen von Musäus und 1891 in "Die Nibelungen" von Gustav Schalk. Zudem erschien 1896 bis 1899 das Hermann Vogel-Album in zunächst zwei Bänden. Band 3 (Bilder- und Geschichtenbuch) und Band 4 (Altes und Neues von Hermann Vogel) erschienen 1903 und 1908.
