With a focus on improving your observation skills, this project offers simple step-by-step illustrated instructions, to guide aspiring artists through the process of drawing human lips with a line of symmetry. Shading is renderedwith contour hatching graduations.

Thank you, Brenda, for this and all the lessons so far. The hour or so I spend on your site each day is relaxing and rewarding - I am so grateful for your skill, humour and careful teaching. One day I am going to draw my children and my husband and you are going to get me there! I also love the feeling of being one of many across the world following your lessons and learning these skills - all with a different aim in mind. You're a star! Angela

hi - i liked this tuturial - helps to to create softer lips and gave me understaning that soft and many lines create a more realisting lips that one connected line - thanks. just a note it was a little confusing with figure 11.12 - - being slightly different to the rest of the examples (ie line in the midde of the lips drawn in different direction).

Good lesson. I did pretty good on this.

Since nobody has posted their results for this lesson here, I will. Mine was done several months ago, and since then all the lips I've drawn have looked more realistic thanks to your lesson.

This took me parts of two days. Very interesting, I really like shading now.

I thought lips were pretty fun to draw!
