Lip Drawing and Copic Coloring by MH
Hi there everyone!
For this week’s art blog, I’ve decided to draw something that might not look easy, but actually is. I’m drawing a mouth with big red lips.
For a drawing like this you might think that you're gonna use a bunch of markers but that’s not the case, I have only used a hand full of tones, and only 3 red ones.
For the lips i’ve used R17(Lipstick Orange), R29 (Lipstick Red), and R59 (Cardinal). For shading I used a black pencil and a cool Grey 7. For highlights I used a white gelly roll pen. It’s important to have a lot of fine Highlights with lips like these!
For the teeth I used warm and cool Grey 1, 3, 5, and 7. And of course a coloursless blender to make sure the teeth remained 'white'.
This is an easy drawing for someone who wants to get into drawing, but dosen't have the time. I only spent about an hour on this one, and it turned out great.
It’s also a nice beginning for someone who would like to start drawing Portraits for example. When I started drawing many years ago, I would often sketch out eyes, noses and mouths like this one. I’m sure it helped a lot to get those Basics down first.
Towards the end I went over the drawing again and added a few more highlights and a bit more shading, and then this drawing was done. I really hope you enjoyed reading this blog , and that you might even learned a thing or two. If that’s the case Please leave a like comment to see more posts like this one in the future. You can also follow me on Instagram, where I post updates of upcoming drawings. With that said, I’ll see you all in the next blog.
