How to draw a realistic lips in just easy simple 5 steps:-
1) a reference image
2) tools
3) outline
4) shading and blending
5) finishing and detailing
1) reference image- before drawing the 1st and most important step is the reference image.
Choosing a reference image is the most crucial aspect, I usually prefer a clear and easily reproducible image, you can choose reference image according to your need and ease.
2) tools – when it comes to tools which are required to draw a lips, there are many options, but in the beginning, it's better to use to use simple and easy ones .
For this drawing you require:-
a) 0.5mm HB mechanical pencil
b) 2B graphite pencil
c) 4B graphite pencil
d) 6B graphite pencil
e) 2H graphite pencil
f) kneaded eraser / normal eraser
g) blending stumps
h) smooth Bristol paper
i) paper towel
3) outline- after looking at the reference image of the lips , 1st draw the vertical straight line and after that draw a line perpendicular to the 1st line as shown in image .
Than start drawing the rough outline of the lips taking into consideration the lines which we had drawn earlier in this outline section using the 2H graphite pencil .
Rough sketch should be light and don’t press too hard on the paper to avoid any sharp markings on the paper and also to make it easy for erasing at the end of the final drawing.
4) shading and blending- after the rough outline start with a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil start drawing the skin of the lips and then blending it with the blending stumps or paper towel
to get a smooth texture of graphite on the paper and also while shading intially start with the lighter shade of graphite pencil .
After that using the eraser create some highlights according to the reference image and with the help of 2B graphite pencil start drawing the curves and folding of the lips and blending it smoothly with the paper towel , alternatively you can also use the brush for smooth shading of the skin of lips.
Than using the 4B graphite pencil sketch the darker shade of the lips leaving the lighter shade untouched and blending it with paper towel and side by side with the blending stumps.
5) finishing and detailing – the last and most important step for the drawing to look realistic, with the help of an eraser, create some highlights according to our reference image and also blend and shade every area of the drawing.
And also blend the sharp margins and outline of the sketch and erase the extra dark markings.
