And lo' the steps for drawing the mouth.
Step 1 - Mark Proportion
- Mark a LIGHT horizontal line at the Nose and at the Chin.
- About a third (1/3) of the way down from the nose, mark a slight diagonal for the mouth.
Step 2 - Silhouette
Lightly sketch in the angles of the upper lip, mouth, lower lip, and chin. The mouth line will attach to the UPPER LIP, not the lower.
Step 3 - Finishing
- Sharpen the lines of the silhouette and the mouth by observing the EDGES you see on the model.
- When you outline the LIPS, keep your line nice and light. If you draw the outline of the lips as dark as the line used for the major edges, the whole thing will look funky.
