Lips, like the whole human face in general, are difficult to draw. Each facial feature has its own secrets, its own parameters, which directly depend on other parts of the face. Lips, despite the fact that we see them every day, are also difficult to portray, like eyes, or hands, if! you don't know how to do it right. Well, if you study this online lesson well, you will no longer have problems with the image of the lips and lower part of the face.
1. Lesson how to draw lips You need to start, of course, with a sketch of the lips. The first thing we need to do is to carefully examine and draw the line that separates the lower and upper lip. Such a line almost always curves up and down. Initially, it may not be entirely accurate, in the process all this will be corrected: we will erase it somewhere, somewhere we will finish it. The main thing is to start with this. Also, at the first stage, you need to outline the contours of the so-called Cupid's tubercle. This is the most median and protruding part of the upper lip. A lot depends on it (it forms two vertices of the upper lip), so with light strokes we indicate it on the sketch, so that it would be easier to work later.
2. The second stage of our online lesson also belongs to the sketch. We continue to outline the contours of future lips. Here we have drawn characteristic depressions that look like a midline, all three are equally concave. So to speak, now the base lines are ready, on which we will build the drawing.
3. Finishing our sketch. We connect the upper and lower lines with the ends of the lips. Depending on the shape and line, respectively, different shapes are obtained.
4. To make it easier to understand the shapes, here I give a side view of the lips. So what are we doing now? At this stage, with light strokes, we apply shadows in the places where they should be. The lower lip is almost always exposed to the upper light, because it is the brightest and most illuminated. However, the corners of the lower lip go into the shadow of the upper. Also, the shadow from the upper part falls on the top of the lower lip. Pay attention to how Cupid's tubercle is processed! We have already said that this is the most protruding part and the shadows on it already play in their own way. The upper edge of the lips is also illuminated by the top light, if we paint over it, the three-dimensionality will be lost.
Chermetkom offers a variety of products according to the specification of galvanized welded mesh. Road, masonry, wicker, etc. at the most affordable prices from a company that has been on the market for more than ten years.
5. In this step of drawing the lips, we draw the environment or what is in the lower part of the face. Look at the side view. The space between the lower lip and chin is very noticeable, which inevitably falls into the shadow, so there is always a shaded area in this place. Above the upper lip there is also a difficult area that needs to be worked out. This is the distance where two bulges connect the tops of the upper lip with the nose, and form a soft concavity between them. The corners of the lips almost always have some kind of muscle ties that stand out with light strokes (they are expressed more strongly when smiling or smirking). These lateral muscles are always present on the face, they must be inscribed so that the mouth does not fit into a flat face.
6. It remains to bring our drawing to the end, somewhere wiping the excess or with a soft pencil to accentuate some shadows and lines and lips. Pay attention to the line between the upper and lower lips, it is always the darkest. It remains only to practice so that what you draw not only looks like lips, but also looks like those that you draw.
7. How to draw teeth. A common mistake novice artists make is to think their teeth are perfectly white. This is not true. In addition, they will look much more beautiful and realistic if they are of such a color that bright highlights can be shown on them. The front teeth should be the lightest, the further they go into the oral cavity, the more they go into the shadow. The gums should even be a little lighter than the lips and slightly contrast with them so as not to get merged.
That's all for today. Follow the releases of the site and in the next updates of the Articles section, there will be new tutorials on drawing parts of the human body.

Here I will try to help you in the difficult task of drawing lips. I think that being able to draw lips, and indeed a face in general, is very difficult in itself.
So let's get started.
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.
How to draw lips for beginners
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).

How to draw plump lips with a pencil
To draw lips, you need to imagine how they are arranged. First, let's draw a simple sketch that looks like a seed.
The upper lip consists of three parts - a convex middle and two parts on the sides.
The lower lip is also divided into two symmetrical halves.
Let's start shading
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 female lips with a pencil step by step
With a hard pencil (H) draw the lines as shown in the picture.
With a soft pencil (B7) darken the line between the lips, the upper lip and draw a line under the lower lip.
With a soft pencil (B4) draw the texture of the lips as shown in the picture.
Darken the lips with a hard pencil (H).
With a soft pencil (B4) draw shadows above the upper lip.
With a soft pencil (B4) draw a shadow under the lower lip.
With a soft pencil (B9) again darken the lips around the mouth line, closer to the corners of the lips and in the upper part of the upper lip. Please note: the darkest part of the drawing is the line of the mouth. The corners of the lips, the upper part of the upper lip and the shadow under the lower lip are slightly lighter than the line of the mouth, but they match in tone.

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 farther 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.

<= 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.

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 draw 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.
In this lesson I will teach you how to draw lips with a base on a triangular shape in just ten easy steps. You can reproduce different types of lip positions by making minor adjustments in the first step. This method came about by accident: I somehow compared lips to a bow and arrow.
(I regularly get messages from subscribers who have tried this method, and they are all convinced of its effectiveness. I hope it helps you too! Have fun creative process!)
For this tutorial you will need:
- a mechanical pencil with an HB core 0.5 mm thick;
- graphic pencil 6B (for example, Derwent);
- nag eraser;
- shading;
- smooth paper (for example, Bristol).
Step 1:
Draw an elongated isosceles triangle. Under the top corner, draw a curve (in the shape of a “U”). Draw a horizontal straight line between the curve and the base of the triangle. The longer the drawn line, the wider the lips will be, and vice versa: the shorter, the fuller.
“But what if I want to draw it already on the face?” See my face drawing tutorial for the location of the "triangle". Here you will have to pay attention to the proportions, and they will help you calculate the length of the triangle and the width of the lips, taking into account the rest of the face.
Step 2:
Outline the upper lip, imitating the shape of Cupid's bow.
Step 3:
Draw the lower lip with a curved line that does not extend beyond the base of the triangle. Based on a horizontal line, “slightly open” the drawn mouth.
Step 4:
After you erase the triangle, define the light source. In this example, the light source is on the top right side. I've highlighted the parts I want to lighten, and I'll also put a shadow on the left side of the lower lip.
Step 5:
Darken both lips and leave the areas that you defined as the lightest in step 4. You can see that there is a shadow under the lower lip. Toward the right side, it decreases, which shows that the light source is in the upper right corner.
Step 6:
Draw a few folds on the lips with a hard-soft pencil (0.5 mm). Don't push too hard, as you'll have difficulty with the next step.
Step 7:
Smooth out the darkening on the lower lip with a blender. Don't touch the highlights from step 4. The highlights will make the lips look fuller and rounder. You may also notice that the lip lines become thinner in the shade, but do not disappear completely.
Step 8:
Go over the sharpest corner of the eraser over the highlights and give the highlights a neater look with a glare effect.
Step 9:
Do the operations from steps 7-8 with the upper lip.
Last step:
Intensify the shadows in areas such as the outer edges of the lips, above the upper lip, the creases and corners of the lips (6B pencil).
You can change the size of the lips by moving the horizontal line up (for a thinner upper lip) or down (for a fuller upper lip). Also add a highlight with an eraser to make the lips look even more voluminous.
Do you have any questions? Leave them in the comments below the article! Don't be discouraged if you don't get what you want on the first try. Keep working, and take each step apart. Work will become much easier! Also don't forget to experiment with different triangle shapes and line positions in step 2.
