Make the length of this line as wide as you want the lips to be.
To make the bottom lip bigger, make the “U” shaped line deeper. To make it smaller, make the “U” shaped line shallower.
Vary the length of each line, and curve them slightly so the lines on the left half of the lips curve out to the left and the lines on the right half curve out to the right. Make the lines near the center of the lips relatively straight.
Generally, the brightest areas will be the portions of the lips that stick out the most, like the middle of the lower lip and the top of the upper lip. Leave these areas white. Shading will add highlights and shadows to the lips, making them look more realistic.
At this point, the mouth will have a banana-like shape.
Make the distance between the lowest point on this line and the lowest point on the first “U” shaped line you drew about ½ the height of the mouth.
Draw the same number of teeth on each half, about 5-6.
Make about 10 creases on each lip.
