I heavily used inspiration for how to explain this with the work of Barbara Bradley. I high recommend you check out her book "Drawing people: how to portray the clothed figure" She actually goes into great detail into all aspects of anatomy and portraits in this.

RobinRone [2011-05-20 15:16:34 +0000 UTC]

I've always struggled with lips. I've really wanted to design characters that had unique faces, and lips were part of that, but getting them to look right has been such a challenge! Breaking them down into smaller shapes like you have is REALLY helpful, not to mention making consideration for the teeth. Thank you!!

adorablyriika [2010-12-26 04:20:39 +0000 UTC]

This is amazing!
The way you draw mouths is much easier than how I normally draw my own.
I will definitely be trying out some of these techniques.
Thanks for sharing! :]
