How to Draw Teeth

Start drawing the upper lip.
Determine the size and location of your drawing and draw a smooth, slightly curved line, as shown in our example.
Start drawing the lower lip.
A little lower, draw another curved line, thereby marking the distance between the upper and lower lip.
Add the rest of the outline of the upper lip.
Now you have to draw the rest of the upper lip. From the corners, draw up a smooth line and make a slight bend in the center of the upper lip.
Depict the rest of the outline of the lower lip.
This step is similar to the previous one, and now you should draw a smooth curved line at the bottom to indicate the thickness of the lower lip.
Mark the boundaries of the teeth.
Sequentially draw small vertical lines to indicate the location of the teeth in the upper jaw. Take your time and be symmetrical.
Trace the upper lip along the contour.
Make the contour of the upper lip clearer and give it the correct anatomical shape with a few smooth lines.
Trace the lower lip along the contour.
Repeat the previous step and make the lower lip more defined and expressive with smooth, curved lines.
Draw the outlines of the teeth.
Now you have to draw all the teeth. Pay attention to the size and shape of each tooth, try to make your drawing as similar as possible to the example.
Correct inaccuracies.
Carefully look at your drawing and if you notice errors, then immediately correct them. Remove all extra lines.
Add the skin folds.
Draw small lines at the corners of the eyes and add subtle strokes on the upper lower lip. Thus, the drawing will look more realistic.
Color the drawing.
For coloring, use several shades of pink and light gray. Highlight the dark areas.
