How to show expression with the mouth!

This was a request and at first I wasn’t sure if I had anything to provide with, but as it turn out it got a little longer than I expected because there were actually things I had to say!! Wow!! 

Anyway, this is some guidelines I follow when I try to make the face expressfull, more specifically the mouth! It is often neglected, since it’s actually pretty hard, I’ll admit. But I’m here to help (hopefully…)! A mouth expression tutorial as per request. Enjoy and hopefully it will help some a little. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Draw the teeth at the right angle. 

This is super important. The upper jaw follows the angle of the head, and the lower jaw will depend on how open it is. Make sure you have a rough estimate of where the teeth are, and how much of them you’re going to see!

The lips will VERY roughly follow the same angle as the teeth. It really depends on the character, but it gives you a sense at least. 

If you DON’T do this, you’re going to lose so much volume and the mouth is going to end up looking unrelatable. I showed this example in this tutorial:

It’s not just the lips! 

The cheeks, chin, and tongue play a role too! 

Try look at your own mouth or references! I have a very pliable and large mouth, so that’s one reason why my characters have it too lmao.

ASYMMETRYYYYY (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง

I cannot emphasize how important asymmetry is when drawing expressions. It applies not only to the eyebrows to achieve the Dreamwork Face™, but also the mouth. Seriously if you draw a symmetric mouth I will deliver myself to your mailbox and then shout at you until you fix it. 

Look at the difference between these two for example: which one has more “life”? 

I think you get the idea.

Push and squish - give it flow

Here’s an old drawing I have but it illustrates how I think when I squish the mouth, and use folding and wrinkles to my advantage.

Look at your own face and see where skin bundles up, where it creases the most and when bumps appear on your chin. Subtle details makes all the difference! 

One VERY effective detail is illustrated in the first sketch, where I pull upwards on one side, and downwards on the other. That’s a good detail to use when the character is making a skewed expression, or is extremely frustrated. I encourage you to play around with that concept bc it’s ~super effective~!

EXAMPLES:

Happy: Your entire mouth is pushed upwards, not just the corners of your mouth!

I tend to draw a :3 mouth bc I’ve been drawing Lance too much….. You don’t have to but it’s basically imprinted in my motor memory by now. 

Pouting/frowning: corners are pushed down, middle pushed slightly up. Sometimes, there’s a slight dip in the middle too. It can give a sense that the character is biting their lips.

Showing frustration/intimidating/is intimidated: basically showing a lot of teeth. The corners are as open as possible and the middle sorta more squished. An extremely important detail here is showing some of the gums, and open space between the cheeks and teeth. That way it looks like the mouth it open to it’s full potential. Here is also where you basically MUST add folds and bumps, or else it’s not going to look relatable. 

(Here I am again with the pulling upwards on one side and downwards on the other, as illustrated on the last sketch)

And then again, here’s just another doodle showing how important it is to show the gums. It’s the same face twice, but the second one looks slightly more frustrated doesn’t it?

(from my other tutorial on how to draw facial expressions)

As you can see, this last one is very versatile and I draw it a lot. Play around with the basic shape and see how much subtle details makes a lot of difference! 

That’s it! 

I hope that cleared some things up and was somewhat helpful! Enjoy drawing ✨

Knock knock.

You groan from underneath the pillow you’d put over your head in an attempt to block out the incessant knocking at your front door. Who the fuck door knocks at this time of night? You sleepily grabbed your phone, the screen illuminating, temporarily blinding you while showing you the ungodly hour of 3am.

Knock knock.

Choose your fav Saeran! ☆

Whoops~ I talked about the “5 Minutes” Saeran would have in my headcanon because of his instability and oh god I am so sorry…but I have to draw out my feelings lol. He’s such an interesting character and he doesn’t even have a route yet! I really hope Cheritz will make one for him someday. He needs happiness and we need him! R-Right…? /)/////(\

…

Ok, I think I am done. God, I am really sorry for this haha but I love him so much, I just can’t…orz

Hey hey, if you're not tired or anything, could you maybe do a few Revi x Shu headcanons...? ;;;;;

((Sure my sweet Revi~ *pets your head*))- Revi doesn’t like to voice her desires to Shu, often teasing him to figure it out, it is quite the battle of teasing between the two of them- Revi, being a clear masochist and submissive, enjoys the pain that Shu’s fangs can bring her as well as likes to engage in breath play- She also likes to cuddle and be affectionate with the lazy man, but is often to scared to do it due to shyness and self-doubt- Shu sometimes when he hopes that the girl isn’t listening likes to tell her that he loves her while running his fingers through her hair- Although rarely, Shu sometimes plays the violin just for her, whatever piece she wants, just to lift her spirits

Four years ago…

Damn it!

They kicked the dinner table over, using the temporary cover it provided to dive behind the couch.

Not that a couch or a table would really stop a bullet. It was more for the visual cover than anything. Harder to hit a target you can’t see. It would give them a chance to reload, at least.

They didn’t feel too bad about destroying the homeowner’s furniture. The room was a mess anyways. The picture hanging on the wall wasn’t even straight.

“Vanderwood?” The voice in his earpiece had a forced calm, like it was trying to sound professional. The hesitant rise in pitch at the end of their name gave them away.

Well, to them, at least. Vanderwood was pretty familiar with that voice by now. Just like they were starting to get familiar with the exact angle that stupid picture was off balance. Seriously, it was so uneven. How did the guy who lived here not notice?

“What is it, Zero Seven?” they asked, peeking out quickly from the couch to fire back at their attackers. They heard one fall to the ground with a pained shout.

“Did you find the papers?”

Vanderwood sighed. Well, half sigh, half groan of annoyance. If they’d found it, don’t you think they’d have left before people started shooting at them? 

“Our info must have been bad, there’s nothing like that here.”

“Oh.” An awkward pause, broken up only by a faint clicking of keys. “You should probably get out then. Backup’s on the way. For them, not you. That’s what I was calling to tell you.” The kid was clearly nervous, which only confirmed the depth of shit Vanderwood was currently in. Great. “You should probably get out of there fast.”

“Thanks, genius.” Vanderwood usually tried not to be too harsh on the kid, but they were a little stressed about the whole imminent death thing.

…And it didn’t help that the stupid slanted picture was staring at them. Crookedly.

“Any chance of backup?” they asked, staring back at the offending picture.

“No one else is in the area…” They could hear a faint tapping in the background. 707′s nervous habit. “They’re coming in from the north, so you should head for the back door.”

“Understood.”

The line stayed open for a second longer, as though the kid wanted to say something else. But he didn’t. Vanderwood heard a ‘click’ as the line went dead, and turned back to face the problem at hand. 

That stupid picture. 

What? No! The whole ‘being trapped’ thing. That was their priority. Stop looking at the picture. Stop it. 

They leaned out and shot at the doorway where the three men (two? They didn’t know if the one they’d shot was still there) were hiding, forcing them back into cover. They took the opening to run for the kitchen.

Right past the crooked picture.

It was so close. It was literally right there. If they just… reached out… and pushed it just a little…

The picture was straight. All was well. They had a bullet in their arm. 

…wait, what?!

They dove into the kitchen and kicked the back door open. They didn’t have time to stop and worry about the fact that their arm was slowly bleeding out.

Should’ve thought of that ten seconds ago, huh idiot?

They ran outside, launching themself over the fence. Before they left, they turned back and lodged their taser against the fence, wedging it in so the wires held the trigger down. Let’s see those assholes climb the fence now.

They continued to follow 707′s directions until they finally met up with their getaway driver. Which was… 707 himself. They hadn’t expected that.

“Are you even old enough to drive?” they joked weakly, all but collapsing into the passenger seat.

The kid’s eyes widened, honing in on the blood seeping through the older agent’s sleeves. “What happened?”

“I… got distracted.” They felt their face heat up as they remembered their temporary lapse of judgement. Was it too much to hope 707 wouldn’t ask?

“By what?”

Of course it was.

“There was this picture on the wall and it was just… so crooked.” 

Saying it out loud only made it sound worse. They regretted it instantly. They didn’t owe this kid an explanation. Why didn’t they just lie?? They blamed it on being tired.

The heavy silence after their explanation only lasted a moment before it was ripped apart by 707′s barely contained laughter.

“You didn’t.”

“Shut up.”

“In the middle of a firefight? Seriously?”

“I said shut it!”

And although the laughter eventually faded, they both knew that Vanderwood was never going to live this down. Ever.
