To do that, you should just connect the lines you drew earlier when deciding how full the mouth should be, i.e., connect the top and the bottom of the lips.<\/p>\n<p>The top point of the line marks <strong>the dip of Cupid\u2019s bow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, do you know why we call this part of our lips the Cupid\u2019s bow?<\/p>\n<p>Cupid is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/who-is-cupid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roman god of love<\/a>. He\u2019s usually depicted as a chubby, cherub-looking baby with wings and a bow that fires arrows at others to make them fall in love. You\u2019ve probably seen Cupid on Valentine\u2019s Day cards.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, some people say that the shape of your upper lip, with <strong>curved corners and the dip in the middle looks just like Cupid\u2019s bow<\/strong> hence why we call it that way. Others suggest that the outline of the upper lip looks like a heart, and since Cupid is the god of love, this may be how Cupid\u2019s bow got its name!<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s draw the peaks of Cupid\u2019s bow, just like this:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17498\" style=\"width: 856px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17498\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-17498 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/drawing-mouth-cupids-bow-1.jpg\" alt=\"A screenshot illustrating a Cupid\u2019s bow.\u200b\" width=\"846\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/drawing-mouth-cupids-bow-1.jpg 846w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/drawing-mouth-cupids-bow-1-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/drawing-mouth-cupids-bow-1-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/drawing-mouth-cupids-bow-1-440x285.jpg 440w, https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/drawing-mouth-cupids-bow-1-635x411.jpg 635w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 846px) 100vw, 846px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17498\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Cupid\u2019s bow makes the mouth look like a heart! \u200b<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Next, to complete the upper lip outline, simply <strong>connect the Cupid\u2019s bow to the mouth corners<\/strong>.

rel=\"noopener\"><strong>vermilion border<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the color of the lips differs from one person to the next, the vermilion border marks the space where the color of the lips ends and the color of the face begins.<\/p>\n<p>After you finish illustrating the Cupid\u2019s bow, it\u2019s time to add a small dip in the middle of the line where the upper and lower lip meet, like so:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17499\" style=\"width: 846px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17499\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-17499

and use it to <strong>go over the final outline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Then, erase all the lines that no longer belong to your mouth drawing.<\/p>\n<p>The next thing you should do is <strong>shade your illustration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to go overboard, but adding even just a little bit of shadow will make the mouth look realistic.<\/p>\n<p>Using your <strong>B pencil<\/strong>, you could add a bit of shadow right below the center of the lower lip. The lower lip naturally sticks out and casts a slight shadow over the skin below.<\/p>\n<p>After that, add a bit of shade around the center lip line, like this:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17502\" style=\"width: 826px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17502\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-17502 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/2023.biowars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/mouth4_Easy-Resize.com_-1.jpg\" alt=\"A photo showing the finished mouth drawing.
