How to Draw Anime Kissing Lips & Face Tutorial
Draw Anime Kissing Lips – This tutorial explains how to draw refreshing anime lips and faces from two different head views with different angles.
This tutorial focuses on showing the “refreshing” look in a woman anime, but it can help you if you are looking for an easy way to draw ahead with different angles.
Drawing Kissing Anime Lips
Anime characters are usually drawn without showing their lips. However, some speeches and intimate scenes of facial lips may be shown in full or partial.
For refreshing anime, lips draw the mouth slightly open with the upper part shaped like an “M” flat and the lower part similar to the “U” flat shape. Give the upper lip one small curve and the lower lip with two large curves intersecting.
With a side view, you can draw anime lips similar to natural lips but leave them as silhouettes without showing internal details.
Above and below, you can see the size of the face used for this study.
You may already be aware of this once you have seen some of the lessons here on EasyAnimeDrawing.
Finally, you can see how facial features change when you make a “refreshing face” compared to normal speech.
The main changes are:
- Eyes closed – the upper eyelashes will change until the end of the eyes
- Open mouth – lips painted as described above and jaw slightly lower
You may also notice some green added to the cheeks. You can paint the blush with just a few stripes.
For reference, you can see what this character would look like with his usual head-to-head and face-to-face speech.
Anime Girl Face – Side View
You can also see an example of a side view diagram above.
Drawing Face Anime Face – Preview
Draw a “refreshing face” in the front view area and draw face features as described earlier (eyes closed, slightly open mouth, and blink).
Drawing Face Anime Face – Side View
Above, you can also see the same face painted “refreshing expressions” in a side view.
This pattern can be used to draw a character who kisses someone underneath him. For example, he kissed his little sister/brother on the forehead. But often, the head is tilted upward when kissing on the cheek or lips so that the above example does not always work.
Drawing A Refreshing Anime Face With Lifted Head – Side View
On the side, view head tilted, it is easy to draw. You can replace the previous face painting.
The only tricky part is drawing hair. Draw the upper part of the hair around it and the head and short clumps of slightly angles in line with the inclination. Keep long sections of the hair hanging down like the previous example.
If the hair is long, it is more likely to fall out. Very short hair will go around the head, and medium hair will bend down but not fully hang like long hair.
Finally, the most challenging example of this study.
Drawing a pre-raised head can be very difficult because all face features and scales will change. However, you can use the method below to make drawing an angle head much easier.
Removing Lines From One View to Another
If you are struggling with drawing a raised head (lowered metal) in the preview, a good strategy is to draw that same head with a side view. Next, project a set of lines from each major facial feature. These lines will give you the placement of that same head angle facial features in the preview!
Please note that you do not need to do this every time you paint, but it would be a good practice until you get the hang of how to paint a face at different angles without additional help.
You may also notice a slight bump on the left side of the face. This is an option but can help show that the head is tilted upwards.
Conclusion
Drawing refreshing anime lips is easy, but painting the whole face (especially from different angles) can be very difficult. We hope the tips and suggestions given in this tutorial will help you better understand how to draw these.
