How to Draw Lips - Anatomy and Structure

[@cesarrodriguez-tw9bp]

Man !! you go far and beyond with with your tutorials ... (anatomy teaching, your amusing moments etc. etc.) you definitely have the gift of teaching. I will definitely mention your name when people ask me, "where did you learn how to draw" You are officially one of my masters.

[@ProkoTV]

It's charcoal, not graphite. Conte 1710 B on smooth newsprint. I will make an episode about my materials soon since so many people are asking about it.

[@rithulsyon9217]

Your lips are so attractive

but how shall I draw lips on a square head method?

[@rickbaker377]

Your videos are so well produced and informative, thanks for sharing.

[@ProkoTV]

Thank you! Just watched your "miss shock" video. Awesome!

[@kamakozy13]

Proko's quirky form of comedy really helps lighten up the mood when your struggle with drawing is beating the hell out of you

[@ThePostEdit]

I am the stupidest person alive... over the past 3 years i bought over 400$ worth of art supplies...Art pencils, graphite, Prisma colors, etc etc etc.. Not knowing getting a better quality pencil DOESNT GIVE YOU BETTER SKILL! currently using #2 for next couple of years...these videos have taught me so much thank you!

[@irenecentelles3676]

I'm writing down and drawing in a notebook all the important imformation that you say to have sort of diary and also for learn. You say many interesting things so I spend like an half hour to draw and write all the important stuff. I have to admit that I take my time. Thanks for the videos and sorry of grammar mistakes I'm still learning english.

[@ProkoTV]

+Irene Centelles great! That's good dedication. Just watching videos isn't enough. You have to actually study and practice :)

[@irenecentelles3676]

I'll do it. In fact I'm doing this for have a base and start with something. Thanks ^^

[@erincooper9367]

+Irene Centelles I find it interesting that you bring that up, because I am doing the same thing xD the only difference is that I'm required to for my art class. Either way, I'm not complaining because these videos are easy to watch and learn from.

[@irenecentelles3676]

XDD That's funny because our teacher said that we have to see some of his videos. I'm studying in the university of Valencia, and you?

[@erincooper9367]

I'm just a high school student in an art program offered here :D

[@saraboatman9501]

I've scoured the web for super informative and easy ways to draw certain facial features and angles, and your videos are the only ones that can execute that correctly. thank you!!

[@marthiejansevanrensburg5786]

I learn a lot, thankd

[@larapaulyn1488]

Proko's self inserts are what makes these tutorials great.

[@simc759]

3D Animator brushing up on Anatomy and drawing. I express my thanks - your series I can only know from my experience - bear so much fruit in the lives of others through encouraging, educating and fuelling their passion for drawing/art.

[@magiccookbook86]

Bro, I just drew from base of the face to the lips in about an hour! It takes me 2-3 business days to do that and I end up hating it! Till now, it's amazing! Let's see what I mess up, or if I don't, you are definitely the miracle of drawing I have been waiting for!

[@rebekahcrossman4690]

The BEST no-nonsense-with-the right-amount-of-nonsense -videos to learn by. It’s important to learn from someone whom you trust knows his stuff!! Thank you

[@kosthederelict7005]

Honestly, all you need is to watch the anatomical relationship videos and peek at reference drawings, it can give you a really good idea of how to create more "custom" facial features. More unique. Each video I watch, I get more and more impressed and more and more inspired to pursue my dream of being an artist.

[@whiskitty]

note to self - do not drink water while watching proko videos

[@MrDianalge]

jajajaj yes! He is hilarious!!

[@artunblock9433]

Keep your monitor safe 👏

[@jonashansen7273]

I like these videos. I treat them, like I treat an interesting lecture. I'm taking notes and copying down the drawings that I think are the most important by hand. It means it takes me at least 30 min to get through one video, but this way I remember better

[@jackdaniel3203]

I watch many different artists, drawing and painting. There are only three in the hundreds of videos I watch that are worth the time. You are one of those three. I hate when the artist paints or draws without explaining what and why they are doing anything. Tutorials are for people to learn and you definitely know how to teach! thank you for taking the time to constantly update material and keeping teaching. BTW: I am a subscriber and I have also downloaded some of your material. Great stuff. Highly recommend it. It's worth the money and it's not really that expensive. Thanks again.

[@nguyentranminhthoi8962]

I curious about who the other 2 KZbinr that you mention are worth the time.

[@FashionTeaching]

very useful advices. and i like your humor:)

[@GreatMighty]

Just want to put in my 2 cents and mention how incredible useful I've found all of your videos

[@macheifach]

I'm into drawing and painting since some years now. I came across many, many tutorials and I have to say, that your stuff is one of the best online courses I ever kinda attended :) The Information you give is broke down to the essence, your explanations are clear comprehensible and you give great tips, on how to simplify stuff... really, really great help you're giving us here! Thx dude!

[@SebastianTinajero]

Love the humor you throw in and your videos are so informative

[@laurin7079]

2:20 you are hilarious mate! xD I really like your humor, it's rounding up the informative tutorials and make it more fun to follow! Keep going.

[@AlokNR]

yes I just came here tenth time this week just to shower praise! PHENOMENAL is the word my friend .A PHENOMENAL PIECE OF WORK !!

[@0Raminta0]

Give some of that ORBICULARIS ORBIS! :DD I think I'm gonna use that phrase :D

[@ProkoTV]

You should. I think it's really going to catch on at some point.

[@0Raminta0]

Oh, it will.

[@anitam586]

its orbicularis oris

[@anitam586]

or it can be orbicularis oculi

[@canalesculturando8797]

[@leonardofloresramirez6075]

thx for these videos, it's kinda difficult to understand it all due to english is not my mother language, but they definitely worth to have a translator next to me and search every missing word or those I don't know.Thanks proko.

I was having such a terrible day but when I noticed you uploaded a new video, I thought, at least I can relax. I never expected this video to be as funny as it was. Thanks for taking your time to teach us and thank you for making us laugh.

[@Rauxlen]

Proko, my bro, you are the tutorial guy that deviantart deserves but not the one that it listens to.

[@patbollin]

These videos continue to rock my face! Not only is the instruction spot on, but you're entertaining and the videos have a professional production value. Do you have a crew helping you out, or do you know sound design, video and lighting, etc yourself? I've shared a link to your site on Facebook.

[@wachamcaulit]

You are like a teacher of both art and science

[@mrsmonkeydoodle]

Your nail polish goes well with your lipstick. You being an artist and all would appreciate knowing that.

Do you know how great you are? :) I think your videos are amazing. I hope a lot of people will have the pleasure of watching it

Can’t believe this is 11 years old, really great tutorial thank you proko

Thank you for sharing, you cleared up my main problem in drawing lips. I'll be coming back to this video as I'm working to improve on drawing lips.Thank you!

[@TheKarstrasse]

Hey Stan, I really love your humorous presentations

[@Thelogsdonbros]

I've been going through your Facial Features videos, patting myself on the back for taking such good drawings of your lessons to help myself...but this...this one is going to take a while 8O Seriously though, thanks for the videos Stan, these are really helping me move my understanding of faces from 2D to 3D!

[@Spinozin]

Why go to art school when I can just subscribe to Proko?

[@chemoman1]

Thank you so much Stan, i am well aware that it's teh artist and not the materials that matter, but having a look to what a great artist as yourself uses helps out too :D

[@LessThanPi]

Definitely going to be using these techniques and mentioning where I learned them in one of my next videos.

9 years later, still the best tutorial.

[@Kitteso]

Thank you for doing this. I went to art school for 5 years but... Why?! You teach me more than any of my teachers did in that school.

[@forestfamily1]

would you consider starting an online art school community where you post all of your videos and charge a monthly fee? i ask because i hope you'll continue to create your videos & i would definitely be interested in signing up! (rather than buying a single dvd)... your videos have helped me understand & remember concepts that have been so frustrating for me as an intermediate beginning artist! thank you!

[@mikearaujo377]

Just the geometry presented was enough to help me, thanks very much.

[@dashinvaine]

When a baby is forming in the womb, the elements that will make up the upper face close in from three sides and fuse. The middle of the upper lip and septum descend from above and are part of the nose (Frontonasal Prominence), the sides of the upper lip come in from each sides (Maxillar Prominences), and it all fuses. That is why you get these different shapes. (It also accounts for cleft palates and hare-lips, which occur when the fusion doesn't occur properly when the face is developing.)

Hi, i love the way you teach. I want to ask if you have any video where you explain how to locate the features in the face i mean how do you know where they suppose to be? thanks

[@tasfa10]

I love the idea of the tuna can! I definitely draw lips too 2d-ish. I'd love to understand better how lips wrap around. I think you could go deeper on this subject. For example, you could address something no one does: how to draw an open mouth in different angles and with different.

[@oysterthegreat]

I had to watch these for my drawing class, and I'm now a huge fan of proko. Does anyone know if he uses graphite or charcoal?

I think a better comparison for the tooth cylinder is a cheese wheel, but the bloated tuna can works just as well. Also, great one with the Pac-Skull!

One thing that gets me about this video - it's the only one I've seen that anatomically references the nodes or the modiolus. I wonder why that is?
