Parts of the mouth
The lips can be divided into three major areas of concentration: the upper lip, the line where the lips come together and the lower lip.
Philtrum Upper lip
Philtrum Upper lip
I usually start with the line of the mouth. Yes, the mouth is one of the few facial areas that actually contains a line. It is formed from the upper lip and lower lip touching each other. Pay particular attention to this line. Does it go up or down at the corners? Is it straight or wavy? Use a ruler to help you see the direction.
Upper lips
The upper lip is like a mountain range with two mountains. Some people have rolling hills, some have the Rockies and some have the Himalayas. Pay close attention to the location and shape of the two points of the upper lip.
In the groove
The top of the two mountains come to a point at two ridges that extend up to the nose and form a rounded groove called the philtrum. Some people have a pronounced philtrum, while on others it is slight.
Lower lips
The lower lip may be equal in size to the upper lip or smaller or larger. Use caution in indicating the lower lip. The top example is the correct way, while the lower example is incorrect. Do not completely outline the lower lip. Remember in chapter five the lower lip was used as an example of a problem area.
