I drew this and was so, so pleased with the results that I kept looking at it. Thank you for all your helpful tutorials and tips, they really do help improve being able to draw and understand what you're drawing. What I like the most is that you draw things across a wide spectrum, not just a one trick pony!!! Thank you!
I actually tried this and it turned out alot better than i thought it would........ But yours is like.....way better and alot more awesome especially when it come to shading!
I'm 12 years old and I LOVE to draw. This video helped me a lot, whenever I am trying to draw someone I always wind up messing the mouth up which pretty much destroys the whole picture. Thank you for this video :)
Your video helped me with blending techniques. Thanks for not being overly serious - you're really funny and relaxed with it which makes for more enjoyable viewing!
Wow you have an amazing talent! Thank you for doing this tutorial, I looked for other tutorials on how to draw lips but I didn't really understand how they make it look so realistic so thank you for explaining and covering the important things :)
I don't like watching other people's art videos because it is hard for me to keep up, I LOVE your work and your such an inspiration! I like how you explain things through out the video, it really helps. I love you mark!
Me too. Even took college art classes (graphic design) then all my work was taken and I was too upset to pick up a pencil. There was a time when I couldn't go 2 days without drawing something, my whole life since I was a kid. I'm a perfectionist and if I wasn't as good as I used to be I couldn't handle it.
I have drawn these lips, I was fairly happy with my first attempt. I'm just about to try again, right now. I love your art Marc, I like how you just do what feels right. I have seen far too many "precise" tutorials, where you lose the chance to develop an individual style. Thanks for the video...
I followed this tutorial back when I was 10yrs old, I loved the results that I still look at the drawing now and wonder how I did it. Now, 3 years later, I picked up the drawing and decided to do it again. Even I can say that I improved a lot in my art skills during the past 3 years. So I did it again. Even happier with the results than I was last time. Still not even close to being perfect but I'm hoping over the years and practice in the future I will be able to accomplish being able to draw this properly. This video helped me a lot when I had lost all hope of becoming an artist, i thought i was a failure and that i wouldn't get anywhere in life cus i had no talents and that the one thing i actually loved, I was terrible at. But watching ur video made me realize what te phrase "practice makes perfect" actually means and I dont know how much i can thank u for that. Ur tutorials r rlly something else and I hope u continue to post videos like these cus they truly help people like me to accomplish things they couldn't even imagine of doing so, thank you. I know this may seem dramatic and cheesy and stuff but I mean......... I dont even know I just.... dont know SHUKRAN (thank u in Arabic)
Congratulations on your books! I just found your channel because I want to learn to draw, and, man, you are TALENTED!!! I just LOVE LOVE talented people teaching! Thank you
Thanks a ton! Your observations are great! I followed this and had a beautiful result! It's very realistic and I love the final texture and composition a lot. I'm really happy with mine! All the best with whatever you do because I feel uploading such videos will help the others a lot and you have to get enough credit for it. Thanks a lot again!
I think they're called um, blending stumps! Yeah, they're really awesome and you get down to the details. You can use facial tissues, and cotton swabs(Qtips)
Wow, amazing talent, and your verbal is just as good. Wish i could have seen and heard your videos when i was young. My Dad drew after studying face and tried you teach me. Like you he said pick the darkest and lightest spots because after the basic centering outline that is where the eye will go. I didn't "have it", but wanted it. Never stopped trying. Thank-you so much for sharing your talent Mr. Crilley. I am a fan. God Bless. George B. CT
He has trulely inspired me, I used to be the worst, I scribbled and called it a person, but now I'm in 6th grade and I've learned a lot . He helped me choose me job already and I focus on drawing realistic objects or anime. Really, without you I wouldn't be talented. Thank you
I saw this comment before I finished the video and got worried, but he just layered it up. Like Regan :D was saying. he already made part of the lines before and then just made more and more.
Mark, my friend I can't thank you enough for all the videos you've posted. Your detailed instructions has helped me improve my drawings significantly. I haven't drawn much in several decades, until a few months ago. I had completed about 10-15 drawings which I thought I'd completed until I started watching your videos. After applying your drawing tips for eyes, nose, and lips, etc., I was amazed how much my drawing improved. Thanks Man. Subscribed? Yes Sir, after watching the first video. Keep posting them...
WHY DO THE FINAL TOUCHES THAT YOU TIME LAPSED SEEM TO MAKE SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE XD I can't tell what you did in the last few seconds but it just completely changed blehhh
Mr. Crilley I love watching your art videos, they're the best on TH-cam. It's been more than a year since I watched this particular video and it truly inspired me to get back into drawing. My art has improved just by watching you draw and talk through it, so thank you so much for uploading your videos!
i attempted this, and they look more like a bulldozer than lips. -_-. am i the only one with this problem, even though i followed this tutorial almost perfectly?
+Mia diCanio Okay, I am late, but I think you can keep trying and you'll get better. It happened for me too, but over time, I kept doing this, and it eventually looked like lips. :)
Great video, I am just starting to get into drawing so this was very helpful. Shading is really my biggest hurdle so far when trying to draw almost anything.
+Kani Sanati Ikr when ever some one says mark I'm like ' wait did markiplier comment?!!' Oh.... Wait don't leave!!! It's nice to see another markiplier fan
This is an awesome tutorial!! I enjoy using pencil now. lol. And I also realized- patience is really needed. Thank you so much Mark Crilley! Will definitely get copies of your Brody's Ghost!
Thanks for posting. It's been a long time since I sketched anything and new I was rusty. I went ahead and sketched out exactly what you were doing, pausing often. I appreciate how you shed light on to why or what you were about to do. That really helped to get my mind back to right frame. Overall, I was pleased with what I had done, but realize the need to be more patient with building up my shading.
It is hard trying to find people that tell you step by step how to draw a picture like this! You are awesome. You are very descriptive, which is something that a lot of these people lack, when teaching about drawing.
Thank you. You have an amazing natural talent. I have just spent the past 3 hrs trying to master your technique on this drawing and I am well chuffed with the results but somehow I can't get the shine on the lower lip. Much appreciated.
Drawing actually isn't hard. Its super easy. You just need to observe something that you're gonna draw. Imagining something that you're gonna draw makes it hard for you to draw properly.
It was really helpful as I had many difficulties in forming the mouth in many of my portraits. The way you also present the tutorial is friendly and easy to understand. I hope you continue.
crilley! you really gonna take videos in 480p, man? We wanna see this beautiful work in 1080p or at least 720p. Get a better camera or a better computer to render this with your 2million subscriber moneys bro.
I remeber when this video first came out. I was about 10. I remember watching this tutorial over and over again until I got it right. Now, here I am again, four years later, and I think about how all the artists, including you, have gotten better at their work.
don't give up I'm 11 turning 12 and I started 2 years ago I found out about mark and he has helped me soooo much you won't even believe the progress I've made 😋😘😊 just don't give up
we all draw girl lips..but what is difference when we draw mans lips? il try selfportrait... that was interesting... how to draw my lips :D try they not look femin
I understand your views on not explaining your tools but I don't agree. (Good thing it's not my video, right?) I feel that it can only benifit people be ause then they can make a more educated choice when purchasing their own tools. As an artist I have a hard time believing that you don't know what number that H Prismacolor graphite pencil is. The people that watch your videos are surely bright enough to know thaat any pencil mark will look different depending on what surface you use & by the amount of pressure you use. It will also look different viewed off video. You are a fantastic artist, don't "dumb it down" for the people who admire your work, also if you read the comments about every fourth one is a request to tell which pencil you are using. If you think that your fans do not understand the breakdown of "art store" pencils make a video explaining them. A student will get a ton more frustrated if they are trying to get the look that you are showing with printer paper & a school pencil. They are so much more likely to give up without this knowledge than with it. Great job on the books and thank you tons for all the help you give all the future artist!!!
+bellesmom2012 I think the same here,. I was close to asking which number the darker graphite pencil was, but I guess Im gonna find that by myself. ( Im gussing it might be 8B or 9B Grapite Pencil).
I was just thinking about how artists always draw better because they use professional pencils but then I saw he was using a regular pencil and I got happy because all the tutorials I see they use a expensive pencil I don't have. He proved to me anyone can draw with just an ordinary pencil😌.
+Dayjeunay Alexander-Robinson OMG! You're right lol. I was grumpy & I do get frustrated with tutorials where the artist glosses over that. Anyone that thinks a regular #2 school pencil on printer paper will give the same result as a couple of "art store" pencils on let's say Arches hot press watercolor paper has not tried it for themselves. The right "tools" in any job make for a better result. Try it and I think you will like what you draw a ton better. Sorry to sound like a know it all though, he (this artist) is tons better than I will ever be & he is a great educator as well.
My younger sister has been watching your youtube channel and drawing so good for a seven year old. I watched one of your videos and it inspired me to draw again. Thank you so much :)
What I hate is when you have the perfect darkness to your shading, then you step away from the drawing, and when you come back to it, your shading is either too dark or too light.
Honestly if you just take a pencil and some scrap paper and practice shading it becomes much easier and over time you can start to draw stuff like the lips in the video but this drawing is actually quite advanced so i wouldn't suggest starting with this. one way of practicing shading is to draw simple shapes and to choose a point where a light is coming from (ex top right, bottom left, anywhere really) and you would shade it so the shape looks like it has a light shining on it. thats how i started shading :D
OH MY GOODNESS YOU'RE THE AUTHOR OF THE BRODY'S GHOST SERIES?? I WAS SO SHOCKED. I've been watching you for about a week now and I just found this out. I'm so happy
I love the video, but i find it a little offensive that you think all girls wear heavy makeup. I can't stand makeup, and most people i know can't either, but besides that i love your video and after some more practice i think it'll help.
+Morgan Mills lol no offense but there is always something offensive to find in a Video. you just draw Girls with Makeup most of the time, idk why. i´m a Girl myself and i never wear Makeup but i draw my Girls with Makeup anyways. i´m not into sixpacks but i draw my guys with sixpacks anyways. so what. it has nothing to so with real life, ist just a drawing.
You are the only one in the youtube who explains things perfectly and step by step , unlike the others who do time laps and record their voice , that is why people started making memes about those who do art tutorial xd
My dad was a well-known portrait photographer who always said that a good photographer can take a great photo with a Brownie box camera (an early cheap camera a kid could use). I love that your drawings rely heavily on a plain Ticonderoga #2 pencil and prove my dad right. Tools don't make the artist, it's the other way round. Thanks for the vids!
Thank you Nettie; I think people fixate on art supplies since it's something you can just go out and buy in a single day, while skills may require many years to acquire.
THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!!! Thank you for doing these videos! I was looking up tips on how to actually draw a realistic face and I happened upon this video and your video on how to draw a realistic photogenic kind of eye. I was amazed by how easy it looked, but at the same time difficult. But yeah! Thank you. I shall look to your videos for farther knowledge in drawing.
Oh my. Thank you SO much. I am a beginner--was. And then I stumbled upon this video and my lips look amazing!!!!! I just can't believe it!! This video and many others has helped me evolve SO much in the past WEEK!!
This has taught me a lot on how to draw these! This is probably the 3rd video that I've seen, just for doing step- by- step for a complete face, and I just realized how late I am to see this video

+Michaela Silva Wow you have like the stupid question I never heard
+Mystery Gamer fuck off
+Mystery Gamer just go to another video plz -.-
LOL IT USED TO BE A QUESTION NOW IT CHANGED?!?!?!! HOLY WOWOWOW
i tend to use my finger to smooth the shading out. what is your technique on keeping the shading smooth?
I think they're called um, blending stumps! Yeah, they're really awesome and you get down to the details. You can use facial tissues, and cotton swabs(Qtips)
Yeah I've heard of them. Thanks!
Using your finger is a pretty bad method, actually - it never really gives you the effect you want. You also can't get to the small stuff.
Yeah I can understand that
I use a combination of blending stumps and regular paper towels. Works pretty good for me.
Wow, amazing talent, and your verbal is just as good. Wish i could have seen and heard your videos when i was young. My Dad drew after studying face and tried you teach me. Like you he said pick the darkest and lightest spots because after the basic centering outline that is where the eye will go. I didn't "have it", but wanted it. Never stopped trying.

It suddenly got so much better during the final time lapse, which you completely skipped over. Lost me there.
+TeePeeProductions yeah me too. It was from okay to BAM super realistic :/
+TeePeeProductions That was the best part and then switcheroo! UGH! Why?
yeah I got completely lost at the last time lapse...😣
All he did was enhance the values by layering the what he had already established.
I saw this comment before I finished the video and got worried, but he just layered it up. Like Regan :D was saying. he already made part of the lines before and then just made more and more.
subscribed in one minute! I always have struggles with the mouth, this video helps me a lot!thanks and you're really good

Mark, my friend I can't thank you enough for all the videos you've posted. Your detailed instructions has helped me improve my drawings significantly. I haven't drawn much in several decades, until a few months ago.
I had completed about 10-15 drawings which I thought I'd completed until I started watching your videos. After applying your drawing tips for eyes, nose, and lips, etc., I was amazed how much my drawing improved.
Thanks Man.
Subscribed? Yes Sir, after watching the first video.
Keep posting them...
Thank you Everett, so glad I can help!
Finally, a channel that covers both manga and realistic art!

Amazing, but cant we see from different angles, and a quicker way of doing it? Plus male lips as well?
Absolutely stunning and talented! May I ask what pencil range are you using?
Agui007 I realize this is a comment from four years ago, but to my knowledge that’s just a regular #2 pencil
this is amazing i swear, most definitely subscribing :D

It is hard trying to find people that tell you step by step how to draw a picture like this! You are awesome. You are very descriptive, which is something that a lot of these people lack, when teaching about drawing.

Nice ♥ Your a great teacher ♥

Thank you. You have an amazing natural talent. I have just spent the past 3 hrs trying to master your technique on this drawing and I am well
chuffed with the results but somehow I can't get the shine on the lower lip. Much appreciated.
yeah, so hard to highlight the lower lip
Drawing actually isn't hard. Its super easy. You just need to observe something that you're gonna draw. Imagining something that you're gonna draw makes it hard for you to draw properly.
that makes the difference between the pro's and the amateurs. :)
What kind of pencil do you use?
Regular pencil....
A pencil.
This made it so easy thank you

I love this video! You're a great drawing teacher and it doesn't drag on!
best lips tutorial
Maksim Novikov Thank you!

I understand your views on not explaining your tools but I don't agree. (Good thing it's not my video, right?) I feel that it can only benifit people be ause then they can make a more educated choice when purchasing their own tools. As an artist I have a hard time believing that you don't know what number that H Prismacolor graphite pencil is. The people that watch your videos are surely bright enough to know thaat any pencil mark will look different depending on what surface you use & by the amount of pressure you use. It will also look different viewed off video. You are a fantastic artist, don't "dumb it down" for the people who admire your work, also if you read the comments about every fourth one is a request to tell which pencil you are using. If you think that your fans do not understand the breakdown of "art store" pencils make a video explaining them. A student will get a ton more frustrated if they are trying to get the look that you are showing with printer paper & a school pencil. They are so much more likely to give up without this knowledge than with it. Great job on the books and thank you tons for all the help you give all the future artist!!!
you sound like you are writing a documentary about your life getting art pencils! no offense
+bellesmom2012 I think the same here,. I was close to asking which number the darker graphite pencil was, but I guess Im gonna find that by myself. ( Im gussing it might be 8B or 9B Grapite Pencil).
+bellesmom2012 Because the tools don't matter, like at all...Any pencil will work, tools dont help you draw well
I was just thinking about how artists always draw better because they use professional pencils but then I saw he was using a regular pencil and I got happy because all the tutorials I see they use a expensive pencil I don't have. He proved to me anyone can draw with just an ordinary pencil😌.
+Dayjeunay Alexander-Robinson OMG! You're right lol. I was grumpy & I do get frustrated with tutorials where the artist glosses over that. Anyone that thinks a regular #2 school pencil on printer paper will give the same result as a couple of "art store" pencils on let's say Arches hot press watercolor paper has not tried it for themselves. The right "tools" in any job make for a better result. Try it and I think you will like what you draw a ton better. Sorry to sound like a know it all though, he (this artist) is tons better than I will ever be & he is a great educator as well.
My younger sister has been watching your youtube channel and drawing so good for a seven year old. I watched one of your videos and it inspired me to draw again. Thank you so much :)
Bleh shading is too harrd!
dont give up
I know what you mean... check out my latest stuff @bearach_minter on instagram
Agreed.
What I hate is when you have the perfect darkness to your shading, then you step away from the drawing, and when you come back to it, your shading is either too dark or too light.
Honestly if you just take a pencil and some scrap paper and practice shading it becomes much easier and over time you can start to draw stuff like the lips in the video but this drawing is actually quite advanced so i wouldn't suggest starting with this. one way of practicing shading is to draw simple shapes and to choose a point where a light is coming from (ex top right, bottom left, anywhere really) and you would shade it so the shape looks like it has a light shining on it. thats how i started shading :D
hey um is it just me, or is drawing the grid the hardest part of the whole damn drawing
LIKE WHO WATCHED IT IN 2016
OH MY GOODNESS YOU'RE THE AUTHOR OF THE BRODY'S GHOST SERIES?? I WAS SO SHOCKED. I've been watching you for about a week now and I just found this out. I'm so happy
+Madame Red Thank you :)
I can't draw Lips,eyes, or a nose
Makeuplover 567 that's why there is something called "practicing"
I can't draw lips eyes or a nose or hair or a head or eye brows or a hand or a foot...
So I just stick to cartoon cats
I love the video, but i find it a little offensive that you think all girls wear heavy makeup. I can't stand makeup, and most people i know can't either, but besides that i love your video and after some more practice i think it'll help.
+Morgan Mills Sorry if I made it sound that way-- I honestly didn't mean to!
Hey it's fine, it's not like you knew 😊😊
+Morgan Mills lol no offense but there is always something offensive to find in a Video. you just draw Girls with Makeup most of the time, idk why. i´m a Girl myself and i never wear Makeup but i draw my Girls with Makeup anyways. i´m not into sixpacks but i draw my guys with sixpacks anyways. so what. it has nothing to so with real life, ist just a drawing.
I know I guess it just went to my head. When he started talking about it i guess something just made me go into offensive mode.
Morgan Mills thanks for staying cool :) i hoped for this not to escalate :) i can kinda understand it tbh

I loved the way you presented the steps.. I drew it beautifully, and am totally satisfied with it.
Grateful for that.. ❤️
You are the only one in the youtube who explains things perfectly and step by step , unlike the others who do time laps and record their voice , that is why people started making memes about those who do art tutorial xd
Dude, I love you personality when you do your video's. I love the realism of both your work and you lol :)
My dad was a well-known portrait photographer who always said that a good photographer can take a great photo with a Brownie box camera (an early cheap camera a kid could use). I love that your drawings rely heavily on a plain Ticonderoga #2 pencil and prove my dad right. Tools don't make the artist, it's the other way round. Thanks for the vids!
Thank you Nettie; I think people fixate on art supplies since it's something you can just go out and buy in a single day, while skills may require many years to acquire.
I read your books at my library and fell in love!! You are so awesome!!
+Jasmine Henderson Thank you Jasmine :)
markcrilley You deserve it!! :)
THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!!! Thank you for doing these videos! I was looking up tips on how to actually draw a realistic face and I happened upon this video and your video on how to draw a realistic photogenic kind of eye. I was amazed by how easy it looked, but at the same time difficult. But yeah! Thank you. I shall look to your videos for farther knowledge in drawing.
Thank you!
No problem, my friend! I love to give people comments. It makes me happy inside.
You just got another subscriber! You have amazing talent!!
Oh my. Thank you SO much. I am a beginner--was. And then I stumbled upon this video and my lips look amazing!!!!! I just can't believe it!! This video and many others has helped me evolve SO much in the past WEEK!!
This has taught me a lot on how to draw these! This is probably the 3rd video that I've seen, just for doing step- by- step for a complete face, and I just realized how late I am to see this video
