How To Draw A Anime Mouth – The Basics
Drawing an anime mouth can be a daunting task if you are new to it. But if you take it step-by-step, you’ll be creating a perfect anime mouth in no time! Even though there are some basic rules you should keep in mind, such as symmetry, remember that anything goes in art. Experiment and be creative!
Reasons to Draw an Anime Mouth
Anime mouths can have a wide range of expressiveness that allows you to really express yourself. From subtly suggesting something is wrong to shouting out in joy, everything is possible and with such an essential element of a character’s anatomy, you’ll begin to understand why it’s so important to draw them with the utmost accuracy and understanding.
Tools You’ll Need
The tools you’ll need for drawing an anime mouth can easily be found around the house. To start off, you’ll need a piece of paper, a pencil, and an eraser. More advanced animators will use tablet drawing apps and 3D animation software to perfect their mouths.
Steps To Drawing An Anime Mouth
Now that you know what you need, let’s start the process of drawing a perfect anime mouth.
First, draw a vertical line to serve as the midpoint of the mouth. Then draw two horizontal curved lines to connect the two ends of the vertical line. Make sure they form a heart shape.
Continue to add details to make it look more like a mouth. You can make a line or two going upwards to create the upper lip and a line or two going downwards to create a lower lip. Experiment with different sizes for your anime mouth.
Now it’s time to make the mouth look realistic. Add shadows and highlights to make the mouth look three-dimensional. Don’t forget to add the tongue too.
Adding Character
Now that your mouth is finished, it’s time to make it look like the character you have in mind. Start by adding expression lines to make the mouth more expressive: curved lines around the lips to show smiles, frowns, and other emotions. You can also draw wrinkles to make the character look older or add more expression.
If you want to make your character appear sad or angry, you can reduce the size of the mouth and add some shadows to make it look deeper. And to make a character look happy, make their mouth wider and add some highlights. Play around with different sizes and expressions to create different looks and emotions.
Adding Details
The last step is to add some finishing touches to your anime mouth. To make it look more realistic, you can draw the teeth, tongue and gums. You can also add lipstick or gloss, or other details such as piercings or tattoos.
Remember to stay creative and have fun with your drawing. There’s no wrong way to draw an anime mouth, so just have fun and experiment until you get the look you want.
