How to Draw a Mouth in Caricatures

Video Transcript

"Hey. Welcome to my studio. My name is Lars-Erik Robinson, with LarsEr Arts All Around Art-Tainment. Today, I thought we'd talk about how to draw mouths. Sounds like a mouse but it's mouths. And I pre, I already did the noses, I already did some eyes here. And we're going to go ahead and include a mouth here on a, here is one from a side profile, which is done a lot in the seventies and the earlier style caricatures. Basically it is do the top lip first and have it come back and you could actually do a little bit of shadowing there by doing a cross hatching, to get the top lip to have more shadow. And then you do the bottom part. And imagine where the bottom part of the lip is. You don't want that line to come out that much. You could actually end it right there if you wanted to. But just because of demonstration purposes, I'm showing you that, that's a bottom lip. Now on the total frontal ones, you got to imagine that there's a thin line coming right down the middle of this here. Straight on. And these are actually my least favorite. I do it sometimes but there's a lot caricature I also do a lot of frontal caricatures. So you imagine that the front lip here. And you know sometimes guys don't have much of this kind of curve right there. But just because we're doing demonstration. He's smiling, so here's the inside of the mouth right there. And here's the bottom of the teeth. Sometimes you see a little bit more of the teeth on the bottom and then the lip. Here's the teeth. And now on the profile ones, you have a little bit more of a turn there and a little bit less here. So it's longer on that side and short on this side. Once again the lip is curved more on this side. And you can even do, the lip showing there. Teeth, with the gums and everything. Alright, there's some of the different samples of, of, of mouths for you. Thank you guys for joining in my studio today."
