So, I've figured out the location let's go ahead and draw it. You're going to start by, see this line here? Go down to where we determined it is and draw a smaller version of that. That's going to be the inside line. We're going to start by doing where the lips meet first of all, and then we'll do the outside. So we got this line going on here, then the sides. Now a mouth is usually the same, a little bit bigger than the nose. So, just go along. Now I'm going to do the top lip. Something like this. The bottom lips are usually bigger than the top. Standard is something like this. Now the middle shadow is always going to be the darkest on the mouth, and then usually on the sides, the corners, sorry, there's going to be a little bit more shadow too. So it's going to be like this. Then, the way the light generally hits, it's going to be dark in the lip right about here, lighter here, and dark at the top. There we go.
