added comment inHow to Draw Lips – Step by Step
Asked for help
My lip/mouth assignment. Would be really grateful for some feedback here, as I'm finding the mouth area tricky

Well the biggest problem I see is that you made the top part of the lips very flat.(Though I think you did very well on making the bottom lips have volume with the cross contour)Here's an overdrawing of the plane of the lips,please keep this in mind when drawing and think if the light is coming from the left,the middle would be in halftone and the right would be in the dark
Here are 2 example by Stan Prokopenko and John Vanderpoel,please note the area of the dark and light (I also suggest you to copy the example below to get yourselves familliar with the shape of the lips)
Well that's all I got,hopefully this was useful and not just a waste of time (If it is,best regard on your art journey anyway)
[P.s. if everything here truly didn't work then there's always this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EdLBGJ4wjFA ]

First bit of practise with the asaro head from front view. Finding the basics planes are beginning to stick in my mind, the features, however, need a lot more work !

I have begun practising the Asaro head and a few loomis heads. Feedback/thoughts welcome

More skull drawing practise, hoping to move onto studying the simple asaro head soon. Feel I need to do a little more work just to get better with the proportions of the ball of the head and the box-y jaw. Comments always welcomed

Evening all. A little more work on skulls tonight. I did these both without references and am relatively happy with how they turned out !

I've been studying the skull for the last few days now, it feels a big jump from the loomis head however, i feel slowly but surely i am becoming able to draw a skull for 3/4 view. Also really happy that after much resistant I am slowly beginning to draw more confidently from my shoulders and elbows and avoiding drawing from my wrist all the time. Happy drawing all and any comments welcome !

More work on the skull. The loomis head has been really helpful here. Difficult to get everything lined up correctly, will need to draw plenty more :)

Today I studied the skull in an attempt to gain a better understanding of the planes of the faces. Wow, I found it difficult, in particular getting the mouth and nose correct and in perspective. Much work to be done. A fun study nonetheless. Feedback always welcome :)

Slowly working on portraiture. Attempted a few famous faces. Feel like it might be soon time to study the asaro head in efforts to start identifying the basic planes of the face. All thoughts welcomed :)
Had a go practising some loomis heads of different shapes , with help from the drawing the head and hands books. Really good fun study :)
