I had another thread for my tutorials but I figured I shouldn't necromance it since it is quite old now.

Just kidding, this was great, learned alot.
What was that tool that you were using to smooth the pencil out?
It's a Tortillion.
To be honest I didn't learn anything. You're explaining what you're doing, but not how to do it.
For example when talking about how most of the focus is in the corner and bottom of the lip and how you need to shade those, you don't mention anything at all about how they should be darker in value and more defined.
I have to agree with Heroms, I didn't really learn anything even though you drew a really good picture.
Thanks for the nice comments guys :tiphat:

Well, I kind of mentioned that in the previous lip tutorials (I've made 2 previously) and I didn't want to repeat information. Do you think I should?
Also, any tips on how to tell people about how to do it because I don't want to say, draw lines here or like shade deeper: I don't want to feel like I'm belittling the audience :v:
different people learn different ways, [i]especially[/i] in art.
For me, simply seeing someone do it, maybe explain why they're doing something specific (IE: "Shading in the corners first, this is where the brain focuses, blahblahblah"), I key in on factors that I can adapt into my own workflow.
However, others require more by-the-numbers direction, and that's fine, but usually taken at the wrong angle. Most of my teachers through high school and college art courses have always been by-the-numbers, and it didn't work for me as a student, and I struggled from time to time because I didn't do what THEY wanted. A good example of this is things like "the mouth is X% of the head wide, 1/4 the way down, etc" (or whatever). it's instructional, but not interactive with your own methods so much.
[i]having said that[/i]
I found this tutorial informative, but don't really see it as a "tutorial" so much as a little bit of insight to take into consideration. It's good, don't get me wrong, but the phrase 'tutorial' comes with by-the-numbers expectations in most cases.
Agree with daijitsu - learn by watching.
Besides, even if a step-by-step guide WAS provided, people would still draw it wrong. It's all practise, practise, practise. There's no 'easy' way to art, I could watch all the PS tuts on youtube and yes it might enlighten me to alternative uses to certain tools BUT I'm not going to be good with the program overnight.
Best lip tutorial I've seen, not that
first u draw teh uppur lip
