Pout lips drawing. How to draw lips

Good day, our dear readers, today we, i.e. YOU learn how to draw a person's lips using a pencil. In general, my sister and I discussed for a very long time about what lesson to publish today. I suggested she draw an owl, but she insisted on her own and offered to do another one on drawing anime! As a result, after thinking a little, remembering your positive reviews about our lesson on drawing eyes, we came to a common denominator and drew a lesson about lips :) And I think we did the right thing, because we have plenty of all kinds of different animals and birds on our site, and it would be nice to post 2 posts in a row about anime probably wrong.

And *we tell you this by big secret* initially we wanted to give this lesson a slightly different name “HOW TO DRAW... Dumplings”!!! instead of normal and adequate "How to draw a person's lips"

But again common sense defeated our madness and we left the lesson with a normal name! Moreover, it’s better not to draw dumplings, but to sculpt them or, even better, eat them!!! Although no one can answer this question better than you, our readers, maybe it should still be renamed? We will be glad to hear your opinion in the comments to this post :)

Well, that's it, you need to stop talking and start active actions. We hope you are ready for them! You have a pencil, an eraser, Blank sheet paper and a little desire. Get started, you will succeed, How to draw a person's lips.

and don't forget to click on the picture :)


Learning to draw lips: s

1. Draw lips using simple contours

To draw beautiful lips You will first need to make simple markings, in the form of three parallel lines. Do exactly the same as in my drawing, just keep in mind that the farther the small lines are from the main line, the thicker the lips in the drawing will be.
In this figure, the distance between the top and bottom lines is 4 cm, the length of the center line is 13 cm, the length short lines- 3cm.

2. Lips regain their original shape

Using a step-by-step drawing method, you can draw very beautiful lips even without knowing how to draw. You will see this at the end of this lesson. In the meantime, continue drawing the lips and connect short lines, forming the corners of the lips.
Look, you can already say that you were able to draw lips.

3. Lips take on a real shape

It would be too easy to draw if all the lines in a portrait could be drawn with a ruler. You will have to use your imagination a little and draw the “real” shape of the lips, dividing the upper lip into two parts with a “heart”. You should reduce the upper contour of the lip, and, on the contrary, increase the lower one.

4. How to draw a lip dividing line

First, remove the old markings with an eraser, and look at your lips almost like “real ones.” But you still need to draw a dividing line between the lips. To do this, almost repeat the contour of the upper lip onto the main dividing line, slightly stretching its central part - the “heart”. It is advisable to do this exactly as in my drawing. Do not rush to remove the marking line from the drawing. It won't interfere with drawing lips. Simply shade the fates resulting from the intersection of the lines with a soft with a simple pencil.

5. Lip drawing is almost finished

To make the lip drawing realistic, you need to make the lip drawing voluminous. Volume is created with the help of shadows, so apply light shadows along the edges of the lips and in the places where they meet. You may be lining your lips with colored pencils, then you can do that at this step.
If you decide to draw your lips with a simple pencil, then you need to complete one more step.

6. How to draw a person's lips. Shadows

A person's lips have "wrinkles" or folds that stretch when they smile. To draw your lips accurately and beautifully, draw these “little things” too. After this, apply shadows with a soft pencil and your drawing is now completely finished.
Now I hope you will agree with me that drawing a person’s lips step by step is quite simple.

How to draw lips with a pencil step by step

Step one. Let's sketch out guiding lines for the elements of the face and hair.
Step two. Let's draw the eyes, lips and teeth.
Step three. Let's add some shading on the face and lips to show the shadows, this is a portrait after all.
Step four. Let's delete the auxiliary lines and correct the contours. It should look like this:

Step 1.

Draw the outlines of the lips as shown in the picture.

Step 2.

Start darkening your lips.

Step 3.

Darken your lips further.

Step 4.

Continue sketching and darkening the lips.

Step 5.

Use a pencil to darken.

Step 6.

And add darkening to the area around the mouth.

The mouth and lips are a very interesting part of the face. I'll show you some points and give you a little overview of drawing lips and mouth.

First, let's draw lines through the lips that describe the volume of the mouth. You see - red lines go around all the volumes of the lips. Note that the upper lip is usually darker than the lower lip because less light falls on it. Here our lower lip is convex, so more light falls on it, it is very light. Don't forget about the shadows in the corners of your mouth! The corners of the mouth are often “recessed” into the cheeks, which is why we highlight them as dark.

In this drawing I have marked the most shaded areas of the upper lip in purple. As a rule, the entire upper lip is darker than the lower lip, but the purple areas are especially dark.
In these places, the lip goes especially strongly inward, at a large angle.
This technique helps us focus on the specific curve of the lips, see illustration below

Here I have roughly divided the lips into 5 parts.
Pay attention to the small central piece - this is the so-called “Cupid's bow”.
This is very important distinctive feature lips, always mark it when you want to add personality to the drawing, people's cupid's bow can be very different!

Let's move on to the lower lip: in orange I marked the shaded areas, which go deeper into the cheeks and stick out less.
But still, the lower lip will be lighter than the upper lip, because its main surface faces upward and forward - towards the light.

And here I marked in green the necessary shadows that are always present near the mouth.
They represent the facial muscles surrounding the mouth. Mouth and lips are not just stuck on a flat face! They must be “fitted in”, not forgetting the total volumes.
These shadows are not too deep, but nevertheless they must certainly be present under the lower lip and in the corners of the mouth.

And here, pay attention to the light areas around the perimeter of the lips!
It's small, but important detail, the potretist must never forget about her.
This is the most prominent “edge” of the lips; as a rule, it stands out quite strongly and is not colored. In these places neither beard nor mustache grows, and for dark-skinned people this edge is even more noticeable.
This edge stands out most strongly when the shadows fall, in the language of pilots - at 5 o'clock (that is, the light falls from above, slightly to the left).

<= Рот - шаг за шагом

1. Draw a sketch of the lips.

2. Fix the shaded areas on the upper and lower lips with shading, highlight the light areas on the sides of the lower lip and on the upper near the line of the mouth.

3. Work on the shading. Don't forget about the edges of the lips and facial muscles that need to be outlined. Shade the corners of your mouth dark.

Start by drawing a slanted line that will be used to separate the two faces.

Step 2.

Now we need to outline the shape of the man's mouth as you see above and then move on to the next step.

Step 3.

Now you should sketch out the woman's lips as shown in the picture. The chin and lips should touch.

Step 6.

When you're done, your kiss drawing should look like this. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to draw a kiss.

P.s. lips too :)))

Step 1.

To draw lips, you need to imagine how they work. Let's first draw a simple sketch that looks like a seed.

Step 2.

The upper lip consists of three parts - a convex middle and two parts on the sides.

Step 3.

The lower lip is also divided into two symmetrical halves.

Step 4.

Let's start applying shadows

Step 5.

We will enhance the shadows on both parts of the upper lip, draw shadows under the lower lip, in the corners of the mouth and a hollow above the upper lip.

HOW TO DRAW A SMILE?

Drawing a smile takes a very long time, but you can draw it using these step-by-step pictures. And so, we sketch lines on the sketch of our smile, then we draw the shape of the lips and lines inside for the teeth.


Scary, brr:D

How to draw lips with a simple pencil: the first stage

I make a pencil sketch of the marking B. The pencil can be either 2B or 4B - this is not very important, since almost all pencils marked B are suitable for sketching.

The sketch turned out to be quite simple, consisting of only a few lines. There shouldn't be anything superfluous in it. In general, the first stages of drawing in the lessons on how to draw eyes and how to draw lips are almost identical to each other. First a sketch is made, and then shading.

How to draw lips with a simple pencil: the second and third stages

At the second stage, I lightly shade the sketch and wipe the contours of the lips with an eraser because it is almost impossible to shade without going beyond the contours. Don't forget to erase the sketch a little and outline the lips in more detail.

Of course, you need to leave the light areas of the lips without shading.

I start drawing the lips with pencils of group N. At the third stage, even after minor drawing, the volume of the lips begins to be visible. So I'm doing everything right. Also, with a darker pencil, I draw the corners of the mouth and the line between the upper and lower lip.

How to draw lips with a simple pencil: stage four

At the fourth stage of the lesson on how to draw lips with a simple pencil, I already draw the lips in detail, leaving light areas. It is important to draw with semicircular strokes - these are the structural features of the lips that I mentioned above.

Also, in the fourth stage I draw shadows around the lips. More attention should be paid to the shadow under the lower lip - this will give the lips the desired volume. You should not forget about the shadow above the upper lip, but it should be lighter than the shadow under the lower lip.

How to draw lips with a simple pencil: the last fifth stage

The final, fifth stage, I finish the drawing. In principle, after four stages, the lips already look pretty good - they have volume, both the lips themselves and the corners of the mouth are well drawn, but still, I would like to work on them a little more. I need to tidy up the shadows around the lips and the shadows on the lips themselves, because the light is coming from the right side, and therefore the lips on the left side should be darker. Also, you need to draw a shadow over the so-called “Cupid's bow” - this is a nice hollow on the upper lip.

On this page you can see instructions on how to draw one of the main facial features step by step with a pencil. We are talking about such a part as lips. This page presents a way to draw plump lips with a pencil in several stages.

How to draw lips with a pencil step by step? First we will draw Scarlett Johansson's plump lips. For example, take this photo:

Here Scarlett is captured half-turned, or in ¾. We draw the outlines of the actress’s upper lip. Let's use an HB pencil.

Then we finish drawing the lower lip. We are drawing slightly open lips, so we need to leave a little free space between the lips where teeth will appear in the future.

I decided to draw the tip of the nose. You can do this too if you wish. Draw the front teeth.

How to draw lips correctly with a simple pencil?

Now you can start shading the lips. Cover the drawing with an even stroke. We also shade the teeth, since they cannot be completely white in the drawing.

Now, looking at the photo, we thicken the stroke on some parts of the lips and surrounding areas. Simply put, we look at where the darkest places are in the photo and darken them in the drawing.

Now let's take a softer pencil, for example, 3B. Apply strokes to the shape of the lips.

Gradually draw more and more shadows in the corners of the mouth, in the open space between the lips, in the dog's pit (the so-called small depression between the nose and upper lip).

If you drew the nose, then it should also be darkened.

And finally, we take the softest pencil in our hands (I have it 8B), and put the final touches - we cover the darkest areas of the drawing. Compare your drawing with a photograph as often as possible, try to accurately convey the features of your lips. So, we learned how to draw a girl's lips.

Let me warn you right away that drawing an open smile with teeth is more difficult than drawing closed lips. If you are just learning to draw, start with a simpler drawing. And then try to draw Angelina Jolie’s smiling lips step by step.

Draw the outline of the upper lip and mark the location of the lower lip.

We finish drawing the upper lip and start drawing the lower one.

The lower lip is ready.

I marked the size of Angelina's teeth with two lines inside her mouth.

Use small segments to mark the width of each tooth. Don't draw too many of them. 6 left and 6 right will be enough. Otherwise, the actress may turn into Godzilla...

The two front teeth are the widest, the rest are smaller.

And now we mark the lower teeth. They are not visible on all smiling people, because everyone’s smiles are very different. Angelina Jolie's lower teeth are quite visible, as she has a large mouth and smiles widely.

When a person smiles, folds are sure to form around the mouth. I drew a nose and two such folds.

Now let's shade the drawing of the lips. As in the previous case, first we evenly cover the image with an even stroke, using a hard-soft pencil.

Then, looking at the photo, we will darken the skin in some places.

Take a 3B or 4B pencil and start drawing a shadow under the nose and above the upper lip.

Now let's darken the gums. They should be darker than the tone of the lips, as they are in the shadow of the lip.

The lower teeth are a shade darker than the upper teeth because they receive less light. The boundaries between the teeth should not be outlined too brightly, otherwise it will seem that there are large gaps between Jolie’s teeth or the teeth are damaged.

All that remains is to draw the shadow under the lower lip, thereby emphasizing the volume - the actress has quite plump lips. We drew a smile with a pencil step by step.

How to draw male lips? I propose to draw the lips of the famous French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo.

Draw the contours of the lips. The actor's lips are quite wide and elongated horizontally.

If you look closely at your lips, you can always see thin folds on them. Using a sharp pencil, draw these folds according to the shape of the lips. In this photo the actor is about 50 years old. Accordingly, there are age-related wrinkles near the lips. We mark their location.

Now let's start shading. Fill the entire drawing with strokes in one direction.

Shade the darker areas of the lips on top, creating volume. To draw realistic lips, you need to show their volume. A simple pencil will help us.

Take a soft pencil (for example, 4B). With its help we create the depth of the drawing. Shading the upper lip. We add strokes, emphasizing its shape. We darken with a stripe the place where the lips meet each other.

Now we shade the lower lip. Please note that the middle of the lower lip is lighter than other parts of it. This happens because more light falls on the most prominent areas of the lips. Accordingly, there is almost no need to hatch this area. The area under the lips is quite dark, as it is in the shade.

At the last stage, using the softest pencil, we emphasize the corners of the lips and additionally darken the area under the lips. Please note that there is a thin light stripe above the upper lip along its entire length. If you look at the photo or at your lips in the mirror, you will see that in reality this area is actually quite well lit. This strip of light also helps create volume and realism. The man's lips are ready.

Beautifully drawn lips are one of the integral elements of such a fashionable and modern style as pop art. Many people are impressed by this, so they strive to decorate their apartment or house with some characteristic details of this trend. On the other hand, the ability to draw a mouth can be useful in everyday life, because it is one of the most attractive and important parts of the human face. In this article you will find many tips on how to draw lips.

There are many techniques for depicting a mouth. Lips in the pop art style, which was already mentioned above, will be perfectly shaped. The top one should be two arcs forming a small notch, and the bottom one should be a semicircle. In this case, they certainly add even, snow-white teeth, which are clearly visible to the viewer, since the mouth is slightly open.

But it is much more important to know a living person. Depending on race, they can have different sizes, shapes, and widths. Thus, in Caucasians, the upper and lower valves of the lips are approximately the same thickness. Representatives have a lower part that is much larger and plumper than the upper part. Their mouth, as a rule, is quite large in size. Among the Mongoloids, they are most often narrow.

So, let's figure out how to draw lips step by step. On the beginning day, draw a straight horizontal line. Its length should correspond to the length of the future mouth in the drawing. Then we schematically depict the upper lip. At this step you should not draw it in detail. It is enough to simply outline its contour, giving it an individual shape. It should be symmetrical, and a small depression should be highlighted under the nose. Using the same principle, we outline the lower contour. Thus, the initial stage has been completed. Now you should clarify. Using an eraser, erase the sharp corners of the image and round them, making the mouth more natural.

After this, a logical question will arise: how to draw lips with a pencil so that they are as similar to real ones as possible. Shadows play a very important role in this. So, if the light falls on at a right angle, then the upper part of the mouth should be shaded, and the lower part, on the contrary, should be lightened. In most cases, the shadows will need to be positioned this way. The only exception is when a human face is illuminated from below. Then you need to perform the steps described above exactly the opposite.

One of the most important questions remains about how to draw lips if the head is turned in profile or three-quarters. The proportions of the mouth in the second case will naturally be distorted. The half of the lips that is closer to the viewer should remain the same size, and the second should be drawn half as large as the first. When drawing a face in profile, you need to concentrate on the outline of the lips, which protrudes from the line of the face. Half of the mouth will not be visible with this type of image.

So, now you know all the artists' secrets about how to draw lips.


If you decide to draw a person’s face, it is important, first of all, to accurately and correctly draw the person’s eyes, since the eyes convey the person’s mood, character, and emotions in the drawing.

When drawing a person, you should see his entire future image from the expected lines and you just need to draw them on paper. In fine art, the most important thing is not the accuracy of the proportions and lines of the drawing, but the image of the main, most important thing. Very often, for this it is enough to accurately draw eyes and lips, which will convey the mood and character of a person.


Drawings of a person's face, eyes, portraits are the most complex type of fine art. Learning to draw a portrait of a person, a person’s eyes, even with a simple pencil, requires not only time to learn, but also talent. The difficulty of drawing a portrait of a person lies in the ability to convey the emotional state of a person, his facial expressions, the depth of his gaze, etc.


Eyes in an anime drawing are the basis of this style. All pictures of girls drawn in anime style are distinguished by huge eyes - black, blue, green. But be sure to be huge and expressive. Lips are drawn in this style conditionally, without drawing details.


When drawing a face, the eyes need to be given the most attention. It is also important to draw the lips correctly, since they reflect the emotional state and character of a person. In this lesson you can learn how to draw eyes.


Each person's nose has unique characteristics, so it is impossible to give precise advice on how to draw the nose of a girl, child or man.

Dear Angelina Jolie, if you are reading this, I will be shocked, don’t be offended by me!

My goal is only to show one of the many ways to draw lips step by step. And in the meantime, before the instructions, I will give you some more food for thought:

  • Lips are a device for kissing. In terms of sensitivity, they occupy the second place on the human body. Yes, second.
  • British scientists have proven that you can judge a person’s character by looking at the shape of their lips. And I also agree with this, for example: lips with a bow - a kind-hearted person, naive; or a protruding lower lip forward is a narcissist, a broken lip is a hooligan. Well, do you understand the logic?
  • Females use up to 7 kilograms of lipstick throughout their lives, and they eat half of this amount. A third are eaten by a man, the rest disappears in an unknown direction.
  • In order to draw the smile of Mona Lisa, Leonardo spent about 12 years of his already not very long life! So who will then write something like below in the comments - Hurray, I drew the lips in 2 minutes, this is easy - be afraid, Leonardo will turn over in his grave.
