Knowing how to draw lips is a useful skill to have, especially if you like doing portraits. This tutorial will teach you to draw lips in just a few easy steps. Let's begin!
Steps
A Woman’s Lips
- Draw three overlapping circles in an imaginary triangular area.
- Create an open pea shape-like area touching the edges of the upper and the bottom circles.
- Make a couple of wavy lines within the pea-shape –the bigger one in the centre of the area and the smaller one in the upper area of the pea.
- Join the edges of the centre wavy line to the tapered corners of the pea-shape.
- Erase the circle-guides.
- Color the lip with appropriate highlights and shades.
A Man’s Lips
- Create a couple of small circles above the centre of the page.
- Recreate a couple of more circles at a diagonal base below the earlier created smaller circles touching their bottom edges.
- Pass a wavy line between the circles.
- Join the upper edges of the circles with symmetrical hill-shapes to form the upper edge of the lip.
- Join a curve at the bottom touching the circles below to the upper extremes of the lip-line.
- Erase all unwanted lines and circles.
- Color the lip.

Tips
- Draw lightly in pencil so that you can easily rub out mistakes.
- Men have thinner lips than women. If the female is wearing gloss, this effect can be achieved by leaving some white spaces, make sure it looks natural.
- All lips are different--some plump, some thin, some with wide smiles, some without teeth behind them at all. It takes practice to be able to express so many aspects in a simple sketch, but if you repeat the process over and over with slight alterations every time, you’ll figure out what you need to do to achieve your desired effect.
