Hello! I was asked to do a tutorial on how I draw lips, so here goes!
First, start with a line, kinda like this:

Okay, so the top lip is usually darker, considering the lighting. So start to shade it in a little like this:

Hopefully this was helpful! Remember that it's okay if your lips don't look perfect, because trust me, neither do mine lol 😂
Thanks for checking this out and for all of the votes!
