How to draw lips or mouth. This is a video tutorial on how to draw girls or woman’s lipes. This easy to follow tutorial will show you how to draw a mouth, upper lip and lower lip, and how to shade with a traditional pencil. Step by step images also includes below.
There have been many requests for drawing female lips tutorial. So I made one.
I don’t usually study individual parts of the body. But I found that it’s good observe how lips and individual body structure. I usually place them half way between nose and the bottom of the chin. Remember, when you put the individual piece in slightly different distance, the look changes.
Also if lighting is in different angles, you will have to paint or draw according to the light source and what you really see (shape and form), not what you think you see or know about lips.
drawing lips
In some contexts, the mouth and lips may no longer look like what you imagine they would; you will just have to illustrate what you really see and try to capture the shape and value, instead of trying to draw a mouth or lips. This tutorial on lips assumes the light is coming from directly above and in front of her face. If the light changes direction, the lips should be drawn and rendered differently. However, don’t worry about that this time; after all, this is just a basic study tutorial. Have fun!
Since you aren’t just going to be drawing lips alone, I suggest you watch the video below

Sir.I follow all your tuts. Could you make some tuts for NEGROID features as I want to put my painting into context of where I live. SEYCHELLES
It’s most likely distance between the eyes or eye to nose, subtle shape of the nose. Little mistake changes everything in likeness. Go watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aykwcNdj24E&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PL6A2AB90CADEACA53
ha ha, yes.
glad
These tuts have helped so much! These video tuts are awesome and EPIC. I have just one question. Every time I do a portrait or something of someone or myself ( I take a photo and that’s my subject for my portrait), my face turns out realistic( sort of, I guess) but sooooo not like the subject I chose. Can you tell me why this is?
Thanks
Thanks Xia.
First, take your time in drawing and painting. Know what you want to achieve.
Read all of them carefully.
Focus on value when painting
I use a few layers at the time then I merge them all. Focus on value (light and dark). Be honest and trust your eye because your brain will tell you otherwise. Draw what you see, not what you think the object should look like.

Sounds like you are really new to shading. Keep practicing more and more. It could also be useful to watch the video multiple times. thx
your tutorials are amazing but the way they show up and the shading of the lips are kinda hard to understand how you got from one point to the next point
