Use a blending stump toВ smooth out your shading.В Blend using the same motion your contour lines are flowing. If you want the lips to look very glossy, makeВ yourВ highlights as clean as possible and your shading less gradual. ItвЂ™s okay to shade into the areas you Shadow Lined or even change it up slightly as you go along. Use an HB, then 2B and finally a 4B to build up depth in your drawing. Then, shade outside the Shadow Lined areas. With an HB pencil, use my Shadow-Lining technique to do a rough outline of areas you want to highlight or areas of shadow. The more curved your lines are, the more plump the lips will appear. ItвЂ™s great for shading lips because the lines help to create realistic lip wrinkles/texture. For this example, IвЂ™m going to use the contouring method. Use any realistic shadingВ techniqueВ of your choice.

When youвЂ™re done, erase all the guidelines. If the bottom lip looks like itвЂ™s coming out too much, simply erase and position it more to the right. The curve drawn for the bottom lip does not need to touch the corners of the mouth. Step 6: Draw the bottom lipДraw the bottom lip by starting at theВ base of the triangleВ and then curving your line up on each side. Depending on how much you bring this part forward (left) or back (right), you can end up with a strong overbite or underbite.Д¬omplete this section by following along the rest of the outline. While staying inside the triangle, draw another curve that sits on the outline created in step 4. Step 4: Draw the rim around the top lipДЇinish the outer rim of the top lip by connecting the cupidвЂ™s bow to the predefined corners of the mouth. Since the triangle is facing towardsВ ourВ left, the left side of the lip should be less visible, so draw your curve shorter on the left side and longer on the right side of the vertical line. Step 3: Draw guidelines for the opening of the mouthДraw a long shallow curve halfway down the triangle.В The length of this line will determine the width of your lips. The distance of the curve to the base of the triangle will determine how big/thick the lips will be. Make a curve close to the top of the triangle. Add another line going through it that is slightly angled. Using an HB pencil, make a straight vertical line.
