Portrait Painting Lesson – 2 Tips For Painting Lips
Tip One: Place The Lips in their Right Place.
Convincing lips are always in a believable location on the head. (In art, “Talking through your hat”, must remain only a colorful figure of speech.) You can make this satisfactory placement with the aid of some easily determined guideposts of the face: the eyes and the nose. If the eyes, nose and lips are all mutually supportive, the desired likeness will likely follow.
First, in the size you want, roughly indicate the basic shape of the head, yours, if you are working in front of a mirror. Is it an egg shape? A basketball? Peanut? What? Second, indicate the position of the eyes with simply two small circles, whose sizes are roughly proportional relative to the head and to the distance between those two eyes. Are those eyes approximately halfway between the base of the chin and the top of the forehead, as is typical? If not, move them up or down as needed. Third, indicate a rough nose. Is the top just below a line between the two eyes? Where does the bottom of that nose end? One third (approximately) down from the eyes to the chin? If not, make the small adjustment. Drawing a small box shape, indicate how wide the nose is, using the eye-to-eye distance as a yardstick. Remember, all these are approximations; you’re not a land surveyor and it’s important to just get started, started with just your best estimations.
How does all this look, so far? If you are working from a photograph, turn both that and your sketch upside down and compare them, judge it all again. Make any needed adjustments. Now that you have your main benchmarks in place, now that your eyes and nose are indicated roughly, what next? The next thing to do is to establish a very few further guidelines from these eyes and that nose. That is, the next step is to establish vertical reference lines, dropping them straight down from the eyes and the nose. After determining what is straight up and down, very lightly sketch in a vertical line from the inside point of the right eye. Then do the same from the inside point of the left eye. Next, do two vertical lines from the OUTSIDE of the eyes, making now four vertical lines. Using these four lines as well as the location of the bottom of the nose, estimate where the ends of the mouth lie, left and right. Place a faint dot at each and draw a faint line between those two dots.
