Notice that the upper lip "dips in" (and therefore usually is darker, since it has more of a shadow). Notice how the lower lip comes out, which makes it lighter (more light on it). And notice how the corners of the mouth have more shadow. You will often want to make the corners of the mouth very dark. Next >> |
