The mouth
and lips are a fascinating part of the face. Here are some tips and
observations about drawing the mouth. First off, an "overview" on the
mouth!
First off,
notice the "contour lines" drawn over the mouth in the above illustration.
The contours of the red lines gives you an idea of how the mouth is
constructed in a more dimensional way.
Notice
that the upper lip "dips in" (and therefore usually is darker, since it
has more of a shadow). Notice how the lower lip comes out, which makes it
lighter (more light on it). And notice how the corners of the mouth have
more shadow. You will often want to make the corners of the mouth very
dark.
