The overall impact of a portrait of a smiling subject is only as strong as its weakest part. Drawing teeth poorly is often the cause of a ruined portrait, even when everything else is rendered perfectly. For example, drawing bold lines around each tooth is a huge no?no! In this lesson, I show you how to draw a smile with natural looking teeth by using gentle shading to indicate their forms.

This is not that kind of forum. Take your insults elsewhere. The drawing is beautiful, as usual.

Wow that was great thank you so much. I like that you pointed out not to outline the teeth. Well thanks again that was awesome.
