Natural Variation by FlSHB0NES

Hey. I’m gonna break down how to draw a Black/African/Dark Skinned person’s lips.

Hello! In celebration of a new year, I’m gonna show all of you a tip how to draw lips for Black/African/Dark Skinned people.

If you’re drawing a black/dark skinned person, the top lip is a slight step above or below their actual skin tone while the bottom lip can range from a faded pink to brown.

Black/African men’s and women’s lip lean towards “nude/palm of the hand” makeup color. Some cases it’s pink but everyone’s lip color varies from pink to brown. In my experience of going outside my house, the darker the person, the pinker the bottom lip is while the lighter brown skin lips will be closer to their actual skin tone.

Another note is that the pink /brown tone on the bottom of the lip is near the slit of the mouth, not the complete lip like lipstick makeup. Try adding different tones to a lip and blending both top and bottom lips together because everyone’s different! A very good detail to remember.

TL;DR: USE A REFERENCE. GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH DOESN’T BITE! Thank you for your time! Go out and draw them awesome dark skinned characters and people!

@charcoalfeathers was interested in how I did some dewdrops with mainly layer effects so here’s a tutorial of sorts. I mentioned painting them by hand being a real tedious deal and this way is much quicker, easier, allows the drops to change as your base layers do, and applies the effect and changes to every dewdrop at once. Handy! So here’s the steps for each image, under the cut bc it got kinda long:

From the sketchblog: some fun with layer effects! Sometimes it’s easy to go tacky or a little heavy handed with them but I encourage people to play around because they can be great time savers and give you some fantastic results.

A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background.

Is it okay if I use your art as an illustration for a story and post it on here? I would credit it to you of course. I would also really like to know how you make the reflected light look soooooo shiny. Thanks!

Go right ahead man! About the reflected light, use really high values (close to white rather than black) combined with a hue shift. Here’s a visual:
