Step 1Everyone draws mouths differently, and there's even some inconsistencies with my own art. But that's okay! Variety is what makes a style unique.
-
Step 2The first step I take when drawing a mouth is to throw down that little mustache shape (it actually kinda looks like the silhouette of a bird haha!) This is the top lip.
-
Step 3Next I add the bottom lip, which is just a swooping line below that "mustache" shape. If my character is at an angle, I leave a little space between the top and bottom lip on the part of the face that is closest to the viewer. This allows for a little perspective.
-
Step 4After the top and bottom lips are in place, I add a raindrop shape to either end of the mouth. This really brings the smile to life!
-
Step 5The mouth is the second-most expressive part of the face (with the eyes being the first) so it's important to keep things loose when drawing a mouth. Have fun practicing different expressions to up your smile game!
