A head-and-shoulders portrait with heavy eye makeup and dark upswept curls is what this tutorial captures, walking through how to draw Adele in a black and white ink style that suits her presence well. The guide sits alongside other celebrity drawing guides on the site and covers the whole process in 21 steps.
What Makes This Portrait Worth Practicing
The tutorial runs through 21 steps and produces a line art result with no color, so all the focus goes into clean ink work and proportions. This is a head-and-shoulders composition, which means facial symmetry and the way the hair frames the face carry most of the visual weight. The loose curls and the defined eye makeup are where the detail work lives, so expect to slow down around the eye area.
Key Features of Adele’s Portrait Design
- Dark hair pulled up with loose curls
- Headband or braid across top of head
- Heavy eye makeup with defined brows
- Teardrop dangle earrings visible
- Necklace or chain around neck
If you enjoy celebrity portraits, the Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams guide covers a similarly moody portrait style, and the Ronaldo simplified portrait is worth checking out for practicing face structure with a more pared-back approach. The 6ix9ine art tutorial takes a different visual direction but still works on the same core portrait skills.
Reading the Step Colors in This Guide
Each step uses a three-color coding system to keep things clear:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
