Tips for sculpting lips

[User_not_found]

Hello Dear Reader,

I recently got into sculpting and I’m trying to learn to sculpt humans, I’m watching YouTube tutorials to learn the basics.

I have sculpted a few lips and no matter how much I work on them; the lips just don’t look good. to my eyes the problem is with the sides of the lips, I just cannot get it right.

I’d love to get some tips from you

here are two screenshots of my latest lip sculpture, could you please take a look and tell me what to do to improve my lip sculpting, how could I make some proper lips?

By the way, I know practice makes perfect, but I want to get some tips from people with more experience.

Thanks for reading

More indentation around the corners, and more flesh around the sides. You have encountered a common mouth issue which I refer to as duck mouth.

Hi @Mordon.

would that be possible for you to give me more details? you mentioned sides and corners, which parts are you referring as corners and which parts as sides

Also, most of the time, you’ll find the top lip sticks out further than the bottom.
