DOs and DON’Ts: How to Draw Realistic Lips

Learn how to draw realistic lips with this step-by-step Dos and Don’ts tutorial. I cover common lip drawing mistakes and show you how to fix them to achieve that ultra realistic drawing style. You’ll also learn how to shade the areas around the lips and mouth using a pencil for more realistic skin tone.
This tutorial compliments my How to Draw Realistic Eyes video, which I created as a popular request. A number of you requested lips as a follow-up, so here it is. I hope this helps you on your art journey!

this video helped improve my drawing skills and bring out my inner artist so thanks keep it up

[@andrewschultz6608]

Thanks for this! I noticed you had a series of do's and don'ts. I'm having a lot of fun trying to avoid the don'ts in the thumbnails before seeing the do's. It's interesting to see what I get wrong and what I can improve immediately.

[@donkeykong8968]

Yes

[@RTIFEX]

🤙

Thank you so much 😀

[@RTIFEX]

Thanks!

[@charmely2751]

Ang ganda! (It's beautiful!)

[@RTIFEX]

Tysm!

[@matusalabeyene7447]

Your actually so underrated

[@RTIFEX]

I appreciate that.

[@taraharper4431]

This was really helpful, but I need help with the feet, arms, hair, and eyes, and nose, I’m good with the outfits!

[@RTIFEX]

I'm glad it helped! I have more tutorial videos coming on these topics, so be on the lookout.

[@taraharper4431]

Ok! Thank you :)

[@RTIFEX]

Just published a nose video: ruclips.net/video/5UYhixkZEL4/видео.html

[@cartoonkidunya505]

Sir i am new subscriber and an artist I have to say your drawings are just phenomenal and I have some suggestion would mind making a video that teaches you about product design and deconstructing and reconstructing edit: don't forget me when you're famous.

[@RTIFEX]

Thanks! I was thinking of doing future videos related more to digital and graphic design (logos, branding, websites, apps, etc.). Was there a particular type of product design you wanted to see?

[@catmations5631]

Thank you. This will help

[@RTIFEX]

I'm glad it helped.

[@nerdynerd8784]

This has really helped me improve in drawing realistic faces, as I normally draw in a cartoony style, thank you for making these tutorials 😊

[@RTIFEX]

Cartoony is cool too, but I'm glad this helped.

[@nerdynerd8784]

@@RTIFEX I didn't mean it isn't, I just meant I was trying to learn realistic drawing

[@user-uu2pv6sl5s]

Omg i litterally subbed in 20 seconds

[@RTIFEX]

Welcome!

[@charmely2751]

❤️❤️

[@RTIFEX]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Unknown_Intel]

Can you do a video on on how to draw a nose

[@RTIFEX]

Definitely. I'll drop that one soon.

[@Unknown_Intel]

Thank you

[@RTIFEX]

Here's my latest video on how to draw a nose: ruclips.net/video/5UYhixkZEL4/видео.html

[@justsomepersonwhoreportbot]

On the left, I’ve never seen a person draw lips with such strong lines before. Who has ever done this?

[@RTIFEX]

I've seen some really young artists do it. hehe

[@arcticwolf6402]

Your brain just really cannot grasp the concept of oversimplifying and exaggerating things in order to demonstrate the subject and DOs and DON'Ts more clearly, can't it? :)

[@hi-cw7dl]

You the best

[@RTIFEX]

You're too kind. Thanks!

[@justsomepersonwhoreportbot]

Thanks for the tips, I suck at drawing faces in general

[@RTIFEX]

You're very welcome. Faces are one of the toughest things to draw, honestly.

[@spingtrap8086]

Nose plz?

[@RTIFEX]

This is coming up next, so stay tuned.

[@RTIFEX]

Here you go: ruclips.net/video/5UYhixkZEL4/видео.html

[@retrolivia7359]

I love the tutorial, one suggestion try to go a little slower

[@RTIFEX]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@Keyz_FN_]

Him: use a cutip a blender or your finger
People who have no hands: tsk....

[@reddestcherry]

they wouldn't even be able to watch this video...

[@RTIFEX]

You should lend them a hand! 🖐😆

[@RTIFEX]

I've also seen documentaries of people doing some wild things with just their feet, even drawing. Maybe I should try that. hehe

[@fxxuna4365]

Oh I’m late or not? idk

[@RTIFEX]

🤔

[@rqnr8868]

you don’t show step by step and do it to fast but I subbed so do the things slowly

[@amberplayz1232]

But it in a slower speed

[@amberplayz1232]

Such as 0.5
