How to Draw Cara Delevingne

1

Draw the outline of the face, neck, ears, earrings and hair with a HB or a No.2 pencil, because you don't want those lines to be visible on her face after you finish the drawing.

2

Now draw the guidelines for the eyes, eyebrows, lips and nose.

3

Add some details to her eyebrows, eyes, lips and nose as I did. This will help as you shade it in.

4

We are going to star with the eyes. You'll begin to shape and shade them. So fill in the pupils, leaving some catchlights.

5

Next step: darkening the eyes and adding more shadow. Also, draw the eyelashes from the root(eyelid), as you can see, they're really big, so you have to be carefull 'cause you don't have to exaggerate.The lower lashes should be thinner and shorter th   

6

Start shading with a No.2 pencil diagonally around the eyes. Darken the lashlines, upper lid fold, the pupils and the upper portion of the iris of both eyes. The eyeballs should be shaded very lightly. You also have to create shadows underneath the u   

7

Shade in her eyebrows, giving them a hairy appearence. They angle up and slightly toward the outer edge of your eye. As the eye angle changes, the hairs angle further and further out toward the corner of her eye.It's time to fill them in. Working jus   

8

Add some more darkness to her eyebrows and shade around her temple.To make parts darker, do it by drawing another layer on top of the previous one, rather than trying to push harder.

9

Now add some shading details to her nose. Use a darker pencil (even a 4B is good) along the nostrils.

10

Continue with adding shades to the nose to create the illusion of a light source. Be careful not to add more lines. The more value that you add, the more your nose will look realistic.

11

Now, smudge the shadows on her nose and for highlights you can use a kneaded eraser (if you're are not satisfied and you want better results you can use white acrylics). You'll also have to shade the hair, it should be easy as far as her hair is pull   

12

You don't have to draw too many details because even in the reference picture you can't see her ears clearly. Apply some dark accents and highlights using a kneaded eraser. Then smudge.

13

Start darkening her earrings (use a 10B pencil). Don't forget to draw the small white details on them. Make a few shadows on her upper lip and then use a 8B pencil to add darkness to where the lips meet.

14

Do the same thing for the lower lip, smudge and add some highlights and a dark shadow under her lower lip.

15

Shade with a light pencil her cheek lines and her chin. And add more shadow on her lips.

16

Draw some light shadows under her chin and on her neck. Use a tissue to smudge. Then, I added the background. You can use a 10B pencil or charcoal. I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial.
