Im doing a profile portrait and I have no idea what to do do define the lips without making them appear black
Any tips?How to shade lips in a drawing?
the upper lips are always darker but not black...um...stare at your lips for a while and pin point the dark and light...and never outline lips dark it looks like they dont fit...they should naturally blend with the color of the skin but not disappear either...sorry if that was a little confusing...good luck^^How to shade lips in a drawing?
I'm not really good at explaining these kind of things but, you should look at your own lips to see how dark you should shade. I only know two clear things to tell you:
1) The top lip is somewhat draker than the bottom
2) The middle of the lip should have the line slighlty visible (to seperate the top and bottom lip)
i agree with the first person, the upper lips are darker. also the lower lip usually has a few highlights on it around the middle and the middle of the lips are usually lighter and then gradually get darker ... good luck!
-sorry if i'm bad at explaining things...:(
