Hello everyone it's Ali, today I'm gonna be showing you how I draw and color lips
It's gonna be a tutorial and also I'm gonna leave a guide on Instagram so you can check out there
It's alimixart.
The upper lip is a little bit thinner
So we're gonna start with drawing two circles
Here in the center of the page and the circle below is gonna be a little bit bigger
Not so much then I draw a line in the center and that line is gonna be a little downwards
not a straight line
It's okay if you do it very messy. We're gonna clean it up later and now I connect drawing the upper and lower lip
Something like this, but for the proportions you can see that there's also
Something like two triangles
On each side and you can do it in the lower part as well. This could help you
When I'm doing the the lips lining
and
Now we're gonna start drawing the curves of the mouth. It's really important to remember that
they will be like
two here
alright
Okay, like in same distance and
This one of course
I gotta follow here through this curve and go down to the the circle
And then in the center line we're gonna do it
There is a curve right here and another one on the other side here
Like this and also the mouth will come
Like an M shape here and then it goes down
below and
Upwards
let's just add some details
just like this our sketch is already done and now
we're gonna line the drawing and erase all this mess so that only the lips are remaining
As you can see the shape of the mouth is very very simple to do it very easy
And then with a little bit of practice you're gonna be able to do it without any guidelines or anything like that
So now I'm gonna be going to my coloring method
we're using a base color, which will be a very light shade of pink and
You fill it all in
Now that we have our base colors we are gonna take a
Red color pencil and start drawing getting some some shading. I'm leaving
Little spaces for some highlight space, but it will be like one in here
And one on this side
One here below and a bigger one on this side
The remaining part we're gonna
color it all in red
And you don't really need to press it very hard. Don't worry about this
the whites that
Appears because we need this so that the color we add later on. We'll be
layering
one over another
Now that we've done this I'm gonna get this color pencil which is
It's kinda brown but it has a reddish tone under it
So we're gonna use it to darken the lips make it look
Like the shading is... more real?
Especially in the center and on the edges
That's where we're gonna
Add more color
Now use a medium brown to shade the center of the lips and the edges
And finally the darkest Brown you have to shade
very close to the end of the edges and very
pretty much in the center of the lips
Like this we're almost done now I get a black color and with this I'm gonna give some
definition to the drawing
Especially here in the edges
I'll get the end of the mouth like this and
Then I add just a very little bit of black to the upper lip
And I kind of line the center at the center line we did
So that it can stand out a bit more
And
It kinda is a bit disconnected. So we use the same black
so there's some shading right below the line and
Now that it looks like a shadow
Natural shadow to the mouth. I really enjoy coloring my drawings in very high contrast. So
It does look I think it looks pleasing to look at this way
But only in the very center and don't darken it too much this way we're creating a gradient
That goes from the darker and brown and then it goes goes until it gets to the red and the highlight
And it's not like only two colors we use in one two, three four five colors
to do this, so
It will look very natural
No we line, but not
Everything just very thin line, and let's say
This part now I'm doing the center here
Like this and then the other side a little bit above
As you can see I did not line the entire
Lip because it would look very unnatural but doing it this way it would give a lot more definition
without
taking the
looking natural
Style of the drawing
All right, I'm gonna get the
The brown that has the reddish tone. We use it very in the beginning of the drying
And I'll mix the colors using it here on the darkest place
Because there there are a lot of white space left and if we use that
It's gonna mix a lot better
Yep for the mouth that's pretty much it. We still need to add some highlights
That will be apart from this ones I get it is in acrylic paint
But you can use any other white paint you have or you can use
Some gel pens or whatever
But we're gonna highlight this a little bit more, but first, let's draw the color
Oops, but first let's color
the skin
Then use this very light pink shade and gonna fill in everything this is gonna act as our base color
Now we're gonna use the same reddish-brown we used earlier and we're gonna add some
Darkening to the skin so that it looks more natural
When you come closer to the mouth, you don't leave it you let like a stripe that comes here and don't get too close
with the darkening
I'm gonna draw a line here so that you can see better
When you come close to this part
you choose one side and you come with this color very close to the line and
On the other side instead of doing it on the outside of the line you color inside
like this it's gonna look like there's a
Like there's a highlight here and another here it's gonna give an impression
The right impression. We we are trying to achieve
Little bit of a space as well
Like this we get this and darken just a little bit
and here
Just one side of it and here
like I'm drawing it upwards this shading because the lips are quite
Smiling very little so if you want to make the mouth look sad when you come to this
Lining you can draw it like downwards like this
So that the mouth will look already sad if you want to make it a lot happier. You can draw it
curved a little bit over
So just by changing this edges
You're gonna change the shape of the mouth and the expression so you don't really need to change everything else
And now in here we're gonna shade just on that line we did earlier, we're gonna shade it
Pressing the pencil harder
And now we'll get once again the dark very dark brown and
We'll shade just a little bit in here
very thin
And you don't really press that much the pencil very a little bit on the edges
You're creating a gradient
And in here we're gonna press very hard to create some definition
And shade, right? Cool.
like this we get once again the pinkish tone we used before and go over everything
to fill in the white space
And to mix a little bit more the colors
This time I press this base color very much harder than before
Before we needed to get these white spaces to get a fill more space for saturation
Because if we press the pencil very hard
Then the paper will get saturated and you won't be able to add any shading or any other colors to mix with it. So
This acts for me as a final step I go over with everything with the base color I used
But sometimes I also enjoy using a white pencil
Over everything so that it can blend
better
Like this now we get
The acrylic paint whatever other paint you'll have in there
and we get just a little bit of it and
Add some highlights. I usually draw highlights here in the lower part of the lip
Like this ton't add too much painting
You want it to blend well with the drawing
like this
And one here above
You can choose the places where you do the highlights, I just think it's gonna look good here
And then doing one up here and this part
Yeah, that's it if you want you can
Use the white colored pencil
like this but
Like this and then you go over everything with it the white pencil will blend everything a lot better
especially the skin like this was my follow long tutorial and if you want
Let me show this
Here
if you want I have created a
guide page
That you can find on my Instagram
Here are all the steps
I I have shown you before the the beginning on how you draw the basic shape of a lip and
Proportions and then where you apply the curves once again this part right here
The edges if you go if you go and do it upwards it's gonna be a smiling
Happy lips and if you come with it
Turning downwards its gonna look like it is
Sad so you don't really need to change everything else
Also, you can draw the lips thicker or thinner and you choose it as you please
Here are some details that you can see better
And then here let's come to this part below
And in here
As you can see I did a chart with all the colorings I used it can be very helpful for you
