How to Draw a Realistic Mouth With Pencil Step by Step - How to Draw Lips

Hello! Thank you so much for all your comments and suggestions. Today, I am going to draw a realistic mouth. I start by doing the outline of the upper lip and then, the lower lip. I am drawing lightly with an HB lead, so that I can do any corrections as needed. The upper lip is usually a little bit thinner than the lower lip. I start giving some texture, more or less following the shape of the lips. To work on the shadows I switch to a 3B lead. I go darker to make them stand out. Remember that the upper lip will be more in shadow and the lower lip will catch more light and reflection. Use a brush to soften the lines and to give a tone to the drawing, and a kneaded eraser to pull the lights. The upper lip has 3 muscles: One in the center and 2 on the sides While the lower lip has only 2 muscles, divided in the middle. Even if they are hardly visible, you will draw better if you understand some anatomy. I like them. These lips are getting really sexy! I give it more texture, more detail and specially I go darker, so that by contrast my lights look brighter. I keep reinforcing what I had done and giving it more volume by darks and lights. When I pull the reflections I usually soften them with the brush. I want to go a little bit darker on the upper lip. And I make a reflected light on the bottom of the lower lip. Ok! We are done!
