So, this is not a lesson, this is just an example of how I personally draw lips. This does not mean that you should draw the same way. This example is for those who wondered how I draw lips.
I drew them very quickly, but you can put more time into your drawing and work it out better. And yet, it seems to me that there are problems with “light and glare”.
If you have any questions about the process of creating these lips, feel free to ask.
And here's something else. I assume you've studied lips somehow. Personally, I don't, they came from my head - I think from observing people or looking at myself in the mirror, brushing my teeth or somewhere else. Don't know.
I also know that there are other more comprehensive tutorials on dA. Tons of resources for you artists.
Sometimes I do this sketch of the lips. And sometimes I “sketch” (shade) the main shape of the lips, while applying the base of the skin in parallel. The only lines that I consider important on the lips are: the mouth line, Cupid's bow and the lower lip line.
Choose from multiple colors: light, medium, and dark; and fill your lips with a light or medium shade to give them a fresh color. It often happens that women have mostly dark lips because estrogen makes the blood rush to the lips more intensely XD To achieve a pleasant color, you can mix reddish (closer to orange than pink) and skin color.
Now we just start to shape the lips. Some lines of symmetry on a person's face are more obvious than others.
It's time to darken, and you can start adding shadows and texture. On the upper lip, I draw lines from the bottom up, and from the center to the edges. I draw the lower lip in a circular motion, giving a certain roundness. The darkening of the mouth line is very important. The tips of the mouth should be darker.
Continue to darken the shadows. Repeat the movements for the texture if you need to highlight it even more. Use the eyedropper tool to pick colors from the lips and draw the lines of the upper lip. I advise you to do this on low Opacity (opacity). I usually work on the lower lip with spot brushes, still picking up light, medium and dark shades of colors. Keep doing this until you like the result :) I usually don't get too carried away with this step xD
Now add the highlights you think you need! I will also add some shadows. I will choose for them not black, but, most likely, a shade based on dark blue or dark purple.
This is how I draw lips using Photoshop CS#.
Beautifully drawn lips are one of the essential elements of such a fashionable and modern style as pop art. Many people are impressed by this, so they tend to decorate their apartment or house with some of the characteristic details of this trend. On the other hand, the ability to draw a mouth can be useful in everyday life, because it is one of the most attractive and important parts of the human face. In this article you will find many tips on how to draw lips.
There are many techniques for depicting the mouth. Lips in the style of pop art, which has already been mentioned above, will be perfectly shaped. The upper one should be two arcs forming a small notch, and the lower one should be a semicircle. At the same time, even snow-white teeth are certainly added, which are clearly visible to the viewer, since the mouth is slightly ajar.
But it is much more important to know a living person. Depending on race, they can have a different size, shape, width. So, in Caucasians, the upper and lower folds of the lips are approximately the same thickness. In representatives, the lower part is much larger and puffier than the upper. Their mouths are usually quite large. In Mongoloids, they are, most often, narrow.
So, let's figure out how to draw lips in stages. On the day of the beginning, we draw a straight horizontal line. Its length should correspond to the length of the future mouth in the figure. Then we schematically depict the upper lip. At this step, you should not draw it in detail. It is enough just to designate its contour, giving it an individual shape. It should be symmetrical, and under the nose it is necessary to highlight a small hole. By the same principle, we outline the lower contour. Thus, the initial stage is passed. Now to clarify Using the eraser, erase the sharp corners of the image and round them, making the mouth more natural.
After that, a natural question will arise, how to draw lips with a pencil so that they look as real as possible. Shadows play a very important role in this. So, if the light falls on at a right angle, then the upper wing of the mouth should be shaded, and the lower one, on the contrary, should be lightened. In most cases, shadows will need to be positioned this way. The only exception is when the human face is illuminated from below. Then you need to perform the above steps exactly the opposite.
One of the most important questions remains about how to draw lips if the head is turned in profile or three-quarters. The proportions of the mouth in the second case, of course, will be distorted. That half of the lips, which is closer to the viewer, should remain the same size, and the second should be drawn half as much as the first. When drawing a face in profile, you need to concentrate on the contour of the lips, which protrudes from the line of the face. Half of the mouth with this type of image will not be visible.
So, now you know all the secrets of artists, telling how to draw lips.
Learning to draw lips:z
1. Draw lips using simple outlines
To draw beautiful lips, you first need to make a simple markup, in the form of three parallel lines. Do exactly the same as in my drawing, just keep in mind that the further the small lines are from the main line, the thicker the lips in the drawing will be.
In this figure, the distance between the upper and lower lines is 4 cm, the length of the central line is 13 cm, the length of short lines is 3 cm.
2. Lips return to their original shape
Using a step-by-step drawing method, you can even draw very beautiful lips without even knowing how to draw. You will see this at the end of this lesson. In the meantime, continue drawing the lips and connect short dashes, forming the corners of the lips.
Look, we can already say that you were able to draw lips.
3. Lips get real shape
It would be too easy to draw if all the lines in the portrait could be drawn with a ruler. You will have to use a little imagination and draw a "real" shape of the lips, divide the upper lip with a "heart" into two parts. You should reduce the upper contour of the lip, and increase the lower one, on the contrary.
4. How to draw the dividing line of the lips
First, erase the old markup with an eraser, and look at the lips almost like "real". But you still need to draw a dividing line between the lips. To do this, almost repeat the contour of the upper lip to the main dividing line, slightly stretching its central part - the "heart". It is desirable to do this exactly as in my drawing. Do not rush to remove the marking line from the drawing. She will not hurt to draw lips. Obtained from the intersection of the lines of fate, simply shade with a soft simple pencil.
5. The lip drawing is almost finished
To make the lip pattern realistic, you need to make the lip pattern voluminous. Volume is done with shadows, so apply light shadows around the edges of the lips and where they meet. Perhaps you will cut out the lips with colored pencils, then this can be done at this step.
If you decide to draw lips with a simple pencil, then you need to complete one more step.
6. How to draw human lips. Shadows
A person's lips have "wrinkles" or folds that stretch when they smile. To accurately and beautifully draw lips, draw these "little things". After that, apply the shadows with a soft pencil and your drawing is now completely finished.
Now I hope you will agree with me that drawing a person's lips in stages is quite simple.
How to draw lips with a pencil step by step
Step one. Let's sketch out the leading lines for the elements of the face and hair. 
Step two. Let's draw the eyes, lips and teeth. 
Step three. Let's add hatching on the face and lips in order to show the shadows, this is a portrait after all. 
Step four. Let's remove the auxiliary lines and correct the contours. It should turn out like this: 
Step 1.
Draw the outlines of the lips as shown in the picture.
Step 2
Start darkening your lips.
Step 3
Darken your lips.
Step 4
Continue sketching and darkening the lips.
Step 5
Use a pencil to darken.
Step 6
And add a darkening area of skin around the mouth.
The mouth and lips are a very interesting part of the face. I'll show you some highlights and give you a little overview of how to draw lips and mouth.
First, let's draw lines through the lips that describe the volume of the mouth. You see - the red lines go around all the volumes of the lips. Note that the upper lip is usually darker than the lower lip as it receives less light. Here we have a convex lower lip, so more light falls on it, it is completely light. Don't forget the shadows at the corners of the mouth! The corners of the mouth are often "recessed" into the cheeks, so we highlight them with dark ones.
In this picture, I've marked in purple the most shaded areas of the upper lip. As a rule, the entire upper lip is darker than the lower lip, but the purple areas are especially dark.
In these places, the lip especially goes inward, at a large angle.
This technique helps us focus on the specific curve of the lips, see the illustration below.
Here I conditionally divided the lips into 5 parts.
Pay attention to the small central piece - this is the so-called "cupid's bow".
This is a very important distinguishing feature of the lips, always note it when you want to give the drawing a personality, the cupid's bow can be very different in people!
Let's move on to the lower lip: in orange, I marked the shaded areas, which are more ember "deep" in the cheeks and stick out less.
But all the same, the lower lip will be lighter than the upper one, because its main surface is turned up and forward - towards the light.
And here I marked in green the necessary shadows that are always present near the mouth.
They represent the facial muscles surrounding the mouth. Mouth and lips - not just stuck on a flat face! They must be "entered", not forgetting the total volumes.
These shadows are not too deep, but nevertheless, under the lower lip and in the corners of the mouth, they must certainly be present.
And here, pay attention to the light areas around the perimeter of the lips!
This is a small, but important detail, the tretist should not forget about it.
This is the most protruding "edge" of the lips, as a rule, it stands out quite strongly and is not colored. Neither a beard nor a mustache grows in these places, and for dark-skinned people this edge is even more noticeable.
This edge stands out most strongly when the shadows fall, in the language of the pilots - at 5 o'clock (that is, the light falls from above, slightly to the left).
<= Рот - шаг за шагом
1. Make a sketchy outline of the lips.
2. Fix the shaded areas on the upper and lower lip with hatching, select the light areas on the sides of the lower lip and on the upper one at the mouth line.
3. Work on hatching. Do not forget about the edge of the lips and facial muscles that need to be outlined. Shade the dark corners of the mouth.
Start by drawing a slanted line that will be used to separate the two faces.
Step 2
Now we need to sketch out the shape of the man's mouth as you see above and then move on to the next step.
Step 3
Now you have to sketch out the female lips as shown in the picture. Chin and lips should touch.
Step 6
When you're done, your kiss drawing should look like this. I hope you enjoyed this lesson on how to draw a kiss.
P.s. lips too :)
Step 1.
To draw lips, you need to imagine how they are arranged. First, let's draw a simple sketch that looks like a seed.
Step 2
The upper lip consists of three parts - a convex middle and two parts on the sides.
Step 3
The lower lip is also divided into two symmetrical halves.
Step 4
Let's start shading
Step 5
On both parts of the upper lip we will strengthen the shadows, draw shadows under the lower lip, in the corners of the mouth and a hollow above the upper lip.
HOW TO DRAW A SMILE?
A smile is drawn for a very long time, but you can draw it with the help of these step-by-step pictures. And so, we sketch out the lines on the sketch of our smile, then we draw the shape of the lips and the lines inside for the teeth.
Ugly, brr :D
How to draw lips with a simple pencil: the first stage
I make a pencil sketch of marking B. The pencil can be both 2B and 4B - this is not very important, since almost all B-marking pencils are suitable for sketching.
The sketch turned out to be quite simple, consisting of only a few lines. It should not contain anything superfluous. In general, the first drawing steps in the lessons on how to draw eyes and how to draw lips are almost identical to each other. First, a sketch is made, and then shading.
How to draw lips with a simple pencil: the second and third stages
At the second stage, I do a light shading on the sketch and wipe the contours of the lips with an eraser, because it is almost impossible to make a feather and not go beyond the contours. Do not forget to wipe the sketch a little and outline the lips in more detail.
Of course, you need to leave the light areas of the lips without shading.
I start drawing the lips with pencils of group H. At the third stage, even after a slight drawing, the volume of the lips begins to be seen. So I'm doing everything right. Also, with a darker pencil, I draw the corners of the mouth and the line between the upper and lower lip.
How to draw lips with a simple pencil: the fourth stage
At the fourth stage of the lesson on how to draw lips with a simple pencil, I already draw the lips in detail, leaving light areas. It is important to draw with semicircular strokes - these are the structural features of the lips that I mentioned above.
Also, in the fourth step, I draw shadows around the lips. More attention should be paid to the shadow under the lower lip - this will give the lips the desired volume. We should not forget about the shadow above the upper lip, but it should be lighter than the shadow under the lower lip.
How to draw lips with a simple pencil: the last fifth stage
The final, fifth stage, I finish the drawing. In principle, after four stages, the lips look pretty good anyway - they have volume, both the lips themselves and the corners of the mouth are well drawn, but still, I would work on them a little more. I need to tidy up the shadows around the lips and the shadows on the lips themselves, because the light falls on my right side, and therefore, the lips on the left side should be darker. Also, you need to draw a shadow over the so-called "Cupid's bow" - this is a pretty hollow on the upper lip.
On this page you can see the instructions on how to draw one of the main face serts in stages with a pencil. We are talking about such a part as lips. This page presents a way to draw plump lips with a pencil in several stages.
How to draw lips with a pencil step by step? First we will draw the plump lips of Scarlett Johansson. Let's take this photo as an example:
Here Scarlett is depicted half-turned, or ¾. We draw the outlines of the upper lip of the actress. Let's use an HB pencil.
Then draw the bottom lip. We draw parted lips, so it is necessary to leave some free space between the lips, where the teeth will appear in the future.
I decided to draw the tip of the nose. You can do this too if you wish. We draw the front teeth.
How to draw lips with a simple pencil?
Now you can start shading the lips. We cover the drawing with a uniform stroke. We also hatch the teeth, since they cannot be absolutely white in the picture.
Now, looking at the photo, we condense the stroke on some parts of the lips and adjacent areas. Simply put, we look at where the darkest places are in the photo and darken them in the picture.
Now let's take a softer pencil, for example, 3B. We put strokes in the shape of the lips.
Gradually we draw more and more shadows in the corners of the mouth, in the open space between the lips, in the dog's fossa (the so-called small depression between the nose and upper lip).
If you drew a nose, then it should also be darkened.
And finally, we pick up the softest pencil (I have it 8B), and put the final touches - we cover the darkest parts of the drawing. Compare your drawing with a photograph as often as possible, try to accurately convey the features of the lips. So, we have learned how to draw the lips of a girl.
I’ll warn you right away that drawing an open smile with teeth is more difficult than closed lips. If you are just learning to draw, start with a simpler drawing. And then try to draw the smiling lips of Angelina Jolie in stages.
We draw the outlines of the upper lip and mark the location of the lower one.
We finish the upper lip and start drawing the lower one.
The bottom lip is ready.
With two lines inside the mouth, I marked the size of Angelina's teeth.
We mark the width of each tooth in small segments. Don't draw too many of them. 6 left and 6 right will be enough. Otherwise, the actress can turn into Godzilla ...
The two front teeth are the widest, the rest are smaller.
And now we mark the lower teeth. They are not visible in all smiling people, because everyone's smiles are very different. Angelina Jolie's lower teeth are quite visible, as she has a big mouth and she smiles widely.
When a person smiles, folds are bound to form around the mouth. I drew a nose and two such folds.
Now we shade the drawing of the lips. As in the previous case, first evenly cover the image with an even stroke using a hard-soft pencil.
Then, looking at the photo, darken the skin in some places.
Take a 3B or 4B pencil and start drawing the shadow under the nose and above the upper lip.
Now darken the gums. They should be darker than the tone of the lips, as they are in the shadow of the lips.
The lower teeth are one tone darker than the upper ones, as less light hits them. The boundaries between the teeth should not be outlined too brightly, otherwise it will seem that there are large gaps between Jolie's teeth or the teeth are damaged.
It remains to draw a shadow under the lower lip, thereby emphasizing the volume - the actress has rather plump lips. We gradually drew a smile with a pencil.
How to draw male lips? I propose to draw the lips of the famous French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo.
We draw the contours of the lips. The actor's lips are quite wide and elongated horizontally.
If you look closely at the lips, you can always see thin folds on them. With a sharpened pencil, draw these folds according to the shape of the lips. In this photo, the actor is about 50 years old. Accordingly, there are age wrinkles near the lips. We note their location.
Now let's start shading. Fill the entire drawing with strokes in one direction.
On top we shade the darker areas of the lips, creating volume. To draw realistic lips, you need to show their volume. A simple pencil will help us.
We take a soft pencil (for example, 4B). With it, we create the depth of the picture. We shade the upper lip. We put strokes, emphasizing its shape. We darken the place where the lips meet each other with a stripe.
Now we shade the lower lip. Note that the middle of the lower lip is lighter than the other parts of it. This is due to the fact that more light falls on the most convex areas of the lips. Accordingly, it is almost not necessary to hatch this area. The area under the lips is quite dark, as it is in the shade.
At the last stage, using the softest pencil, we emphasize the corners of the lips and additionally darken the area under the lips. Please note that a thin light stripe remains above the upper lip, along its entire length. If you look at the photo or in the mirror at your lips, you will see that in reality this area is really quite well lit. Such a strip of light also helps to create volume and realism. The man's lips are ready.
Now we will look at how to draw lips with a pencil in stages. First we need to look at the original photo and determine the light source. It comes from the top right corner. Now we carefully examine the lips, a very strong shadow is visible under the lower lip and at the tips of the lips, as well as under the upper lip, there is also a glare on the lower lip from the light. Now you can start drawing. The original of this lesson is a video that is at the very bottom, I would recommend watching it first, everything is shown in great detail there. They just asked me to make a lesson and only not a video, whoever wants to watch the video, who doesn’t want to, draw from the pictures.
Step 1. We need a more or less soft pencil, you can take HB or 2B and, lightly pressing on it, draw a contour.
Step 2. Draw the contour of the lips and define the areas of the lips with ovals.
Step 3. Now we stroke the upper lip in the lower part. To make a continuous monotone tone, you need to practice a little (there is a lesson, and, at least you just look through it). Those. we apply the strokes so close that they merge, while there should be a smooth transition between the white sheet and the dark tone (the pressure on the pencil decreases, resulting in a decrease in the intensity of the strokes).
Step 4. Draw a shadow under the lower lip.
STEP 5. If you have, then you need to take a very soft pencil, for example, 6B, if not, then you should just press hard on the existing one. We make a dark area near the tips of the lips, under the upper lip and under the lower lip, where the dark area is large and extended by a small strip under the lip, to see it, look at the previous picture, and then this one. In the video, this moment is generally without questions, everything is clear.
Step 6. Make a dark area on the upper lip.
Step 7. We shade the upper lip first with a solid light tone, then on top of it we make darker areas along the upper edge of the lips, the middle part of the lip, while making a shadow transition so that there is no clear separation, this is a dark area, this is light. There should be small smooth tone transitions. Then we stroke the lower lip from top to bottom.
Step 8. Apply another layer of hatching to the left to the middle part of the lips, make a smooth transition from below the lips, i.e. we make the very bottom dark, then we weaken the pressure on the pencil and we get a transition. We darken a little on the right, take the eraser and make a highlight.
Step 9 We make shadows around the mouth.
Step 10 We wipe some places with an eraser. This is the area on top of the upper lip on the left and make a highlight on the right under the upper lip.
So, for any drawing with a pencil, including lips, it is necessary to determine the light source, then determine the light and dark areas, after that just move on to drawing.
Hello dear friends!
Today we have a simple and interesting topic, we will draw lips. This part of the face perfectly conveys the psychological state of a person, and if the eyes know how to lie, then the corners of the mouth give out the mood. If you want to learn how to draw a portrait of a person, this post will be useful for you.
The main task is to learn how to add volume, because, most often, it is not so difficult to convey their shape, although, of course, faces are very different.
Structure
The lips are arranged quite simply, they consist of muscles and skin, their shapes are very different, but they always stand out, protrude slightly forward relative to the chin and part of the muscles under the nose. This is shown in the second part of the illustration. The most prominent parts are shown as light oval shapes in the first part of the illustration.
How to draw a beautiful sunflower
Let's start with a brief analysis of the structure, so that in the future we can more correctly and accurately detail facial features. When creating a portrait of a particular person, it is important to see, notice and convey them correctly. 
- There is a groove between the base of the nose and the upper lip depression, a small shadow usually forms inside it and this area can be shown in a darker shade.
- On both sides of this depression there are ledges- they, on the contrary, are always a little lighter than the main skin color.
- Cupid's arch- an obligatory part, this is an arc concave inward, it is located in the middle of the upper one.
- Under the arch Cupid always has a bulge, protrudes slightly forward.
- Corners of the mouth dark, dimple-like.
- Closing line(or mouth) is the line of contact between the upper and lower lips. This is always the darkest place, here you can safely use the most intense stroke or dark colors.
- Under normal lighting, when the light falls from above, on the lower lip is formed shadow from the top, near the closure line.
- In the middle of the bottom (under Cupid's arch) there is most often a barely noticeable deepening, dent. Here it is worth using shades a little darker in tone.
- Don't forget about folds, they will give your drawing more realism, and it is worth showing them with thin lines or strokes of a darker shade.
- Under the bottom there pit, which should be shown in a dark shade.

We draw in stages
Start drawing lips from the mouth line and from the vertical line of symmetry. Depending on the angle, these lines will shift and change their shape a little. The dark color shows the frames in which you want to fit the lips.
Let's draw step by step. It is best if you find a high-quality sample photo.
Draw a person's face
Profile
If you are drawing a portrait in profile:
open mouth
If you want to draw the lips of Marilyn Monroe, you may have to show a parted mouth, look at the steps for creating such an image.
Note that the inside of the mouth will be dark (almost black). The teeth are almost white (yellowish), but they have a shadow on them. The joints between the teeth can be marked with a darker color. A deep shadow forms between the upper and lower lip.
different forms
When drawing a portrait of a woman and a man, this part of the face should be detailed to varying degrees. 
The lips are thin and plump, differ in size, sometimes one stands out strongly, and the other is small and inconspicuous. Cupid's arch can look like a small triangle or a wide arc.
