How to Draw Smiling Lips

1. Draw the bottom outline of the upper lip.

   To complete this simple step, you need to draw one slightly curved line, as shown in the picture.

2. Add the upper contour of the lower lip.

   Below the previously drawn upper lip line, draw an arc using two dashed curved lines for this.

3. Draw the shape of the lower contour of the upper lip.

   Now you need to draw one small curved line in the middle of the line you drew in the first step.

4. Finish drawing the outline of the upper lip.

   To complete this step, draw curved lines connecting the ends of the line drawn in the first step.

5. Add the lower contour of the lower lip.

   From the ends of the curved line drawn in the first step, draw another long, curved line as shown.

6. Start drawing the teeth.

   Between the two previously drawn lips depict the top row of teeth using symmetrical curved lines of varying lengths.

7. Add the outlines of the nose.

   Above the previously drawn smiling mouth, depict the lower part of the nose using rounded lines of different lengths.

8. Add the face relief.

   Below the mouth draw a short line, at the top of the mouth draw the bulges between the nose and mouth, the nostrils and the wings of the nose using curved lines.

9. Correct inaccuracies.

   Now you can use the eraser to remove unnecessary guidelines from the drawing and prepare it for coloring.

10. Color the drawing.

    Use any color to paint the skin, as well as a darker shade to apply shadow areas. Color the mouth with red, shades of gray, pink, and black.
