Tutorial - How to paint LIPS

In this video I cover the study method of using a wire frame to understand the FORM of the lips as well as how to paint them and introduce new lighting and specular highlights.
My (FREE) brushes can be found here! gumroad.com/me... (just put 0 in the field)

[@trollinu]

In my estimation, this was a good video. Roughly speaking.

Drinking game. Put on a Jordan Peterson video and drink every time he says roughly speaking or in my estimation. You'll end up with alcohol poisoning during a 3 minute snippet.

[@AhmedAldoori]

Hey Ahmed, could you please make a tutorial on arm, shoulder+neck and back muscles/anatomy? I have a hard time visualizing them and always have to use references. It'd be interesting to find out your method on how you simplify them in your own unique way. :)

Love you dad, love the videos, thanks for always sharing your viewpoint of things. It always helps me see things in different ways when watching your videos. I really wish I had photoshop tho so I can buy your brushes. with real money. to show my love and appreciation. :- ( Also actually when speaking about photoshop, is it worth paying ____$ a month to use it?

[@nadagreen3067]

Legs tutorial would be soooo good

[@drawingstuff6660]

Ahmed , bro. Are you alright? two videos in two days? If you keep going like that you are gonna give me a heart attack from happines

[@yamanakoyama8682]

[@johnathondaniels4186]

[@escorpion151195]

I didn't see the video yet but THANKS TO DINOSAURS i've like 2 hours drawing shity lips i'm this video will help me a lot! Thanks Ahmed

[@faith-1643]

Also, I've always heard "NEVER EVER TRACE NO MATTER WHAT! YOU DONT LEARN FROM IT AND ITS BAD BAD BAD BLAH BLAH BLAH _BAD_ BLAH BLAH _NO_ " etc... but it really does help you learn

[@amirbahrun3098]

Lol I've just about to give up painting lips then this video lol

[@zoevoss1672]

I have to use colourpicking in my semirealism drawings, since I'm colourblind and I can't choose colours myself which are actually skintone looking :/ So I don't agree, colourpicking is not bad.

[@AhmedAldoori]

+Zoë Voss yeah totally! I know a handful of artists who are colorblind, I'd say work within your limitation and make awesome stuff anyway - without thinking that you need to meet the expectations of others who are not colorblind. Also have you tried those colorblind glasses? I know it doesn't work for everyone just a thought

[@zoevoss1672]

Ahmed Aldoori they'd never work sadly, I have achromatopsia and it can only be slightly resolved with some gene thingy, but it's still being tested and if I suddenly see colours, at least for me now, it's too late, since I can't learn the colours of the rainbow (and beyond) when I'm a student xD

[@AhmedAldoori]

+Zoë Voss that's quite interesting - so what are the colors that you can't see? Do they just look grey/desaturated to you?

[@zoevoss1672]

Ahmed Aldoori I can't see any colours, but I am able to see red, that's the only colour. But I am able to see very bright and saturated colours. My eyes do see all of the colours, but my brain is not able to recognize them. It's confusing for others, but I don't know any better xD

[@3000bullets]

you posted twice this week are you okay?

[@valhazlife]

Great vid!! I shall try this out! >.< my coloring sucks teehee

[@rachelnguyen6340]

Lips were in my dreams

[@_robo]

[@Khiruji]

He must have a really good pc to use the cursor so smooth.

[@epiphany743]

[@jackgarethhussey3449]

How many pixels do you have as a canvas size?

[@anthonydorado8857]

pls more tutorial on painting faces huhuhu

[@anessalwan]

Anthony Dorado i think he made some😅😅

[@gravex1248]

Ahmeds wife: "Honey, why is the search history filled with "lips" ?" Ahmed: *Sweats agressively*

[@user-vl1tl2sv4p]

Hey Ahmed, great video as always! Lips are definitely one of the hardest parts to draw for me. I have a question: I see that when you draw the initial sketch, you don't really worry about making it too clean. No matter what I do, my paintings always end up really muddy-looking and I have no idea how to fix that, I've tried going over with softer brushes to "blend" but I make it worse every time. Is it the colors, the brush strokes, the layers? I really can't figure it out.

[@AhmedAldoori]

I get it - Having muddy paintings is almost always because of lack of color grouping and value grouping. Here's what you need to do; When you're painting something, make sure you establish and understand the form (like in this video using wireframe). If a light is facing certain "polygons" of your object, make sure to paint ONLY that light source (might be cool or warm). Whereas other polygons facing different light source, would ONLY receive that light. When you start mixing the "pools" of warm and cool then it becomes grey and muddy. The idea is to make sure there's a clear separation of different facets, or polygons, when painting. You can then blend the two groups as well as introducing another color to transition between the groups. This might be complex and difficult to explain without a visual example.

[@user-vl1tl2sv4p]

Ahmed Aldoori Wow I wasn't sure I would get an answer at all, this is such good advice. I think I get it, I'll try next time I draw. Thanks a lot man!

[@olimueller]

And again, very nice tutorial! Now daily uploads ;) you shurely have nothing else to do, riiiiight?

[@AhmedAldoori]
