Make a round shape for the head guide and then lightly sketch in the facial guides like so.

This is one of my favorite steps because I love how pretty her eyes are, and I love drawing eyes. Begin by drawing the lid crease like so, and then finish sketching out her eye shapes. Sketch in the lashes, as well as her iris'. Color in her pupils,

Description: I was talking to my sister yesterday and she asked me if I had ever done a tutorial on the lead female character from The Vampire Diaries, and I said…no. She then said in a shocked manner, “what”! I have to say, the way that she screamed the word “what” was quite shocking because she really could not believe that I didn’t have a tutorial on "how to draw Elena Gilbert", step by step. The actress that plays Elena is Nina Dobrev. Elena is human that is very protective over all those that she holds dear to her heart. The series starts out with her in school and from there she meets a fellow student in the process of signing up to attend school. His name is Stephan Salvatore and automatically there was an instant connection between the two. For Stephan he already knew that Elena was his soul mate but for Elena, she couldn't understand why she was drawn to this stranger in such a mysterious way. My sister loves The Vampire Diaries and if you always wanted to watch the series but don’t catch the network that it airs on, you can always log onto the website and watch The Vampire Diaries free. Even though I myself never watched an episode, I had a lot of fun drawing Elena out. I hope you fans enjoy this tutorial, and remember to visit CWtv.com to enjoy the goodness. I shall return in a bit folks, so stay tuned in. Adios mi amigos!
