Manga mouths are largely symbolic just like the manga style eyes and drawing them is fairly straightforward
as long as we keep a few things in mind the mouths themselves really take form when we see the side
views and we get to take a look at both the front and side views in this nascent starting off the most
basic type of manga mouth is a neutral closed lipped expression which is really just a short line.
Of course you can make this even shorter or a little bit longer and it'll still look OK in the three
quarter view.
We usually have a longer line on the nearest side to the camera and that is really just to emphasize
the rotation of the hit.
In this instance we have a small little line underneath the main line and that helps to imply the sense
of form of a lower lip.
It's kind of a shadow when it sings.
Also another common style of Mangham is to draw two lines that do not connect in the middle.
And really this is just like poetic license for poets.
It's artistic license.
It's really more done for stylistic and fit in the real world will typically always see the completed
line because we have an empty conclusion shadow between the lips
and something we will deep dive more is how we can use mouths to create a multitude of expressions with
the eyes and the eyebrows.
Keeping in mind that the mounds are largely symbolic.
So you want to treat them more like stickers or more like graphics and less like 3D forms per se.
In this instance we have just a simple shape with an indication of teeth and a tongue is used to give
us a wide open mouth smile.
And on the left side once again we have a longer section on the side that faces us let's take a look
at these side views.
And inside view dreich diagram here we can see two different versions of the Sadhvi.
There is some contention amongst Allemagne manga fans as to which type of side view math is better because
this is called side of mouth and I think its really fading out of popularity.
But its very very very very common in a main manga to see side mouth which is not technically possible
in three dimensional space but that said we have to keep in mind the symbolic nature of the math.
And in fact even of the profile I on the left hand side however we have more of a three dimensional
formed mouth and this looks a lot better in a general sense but sometimes its a little bit harder to
express the same type of emotion thats being expressed more freely with a sad mouth
effectively.
You can see that expressing with the math is pretty straightforward.
So long as you learn a few basic lines and a few basic shapes which will help you achieve a plethora
of emotions and that we will deep up in the expressions part of this course thats into this lesson and
I'll see you in the next lesson.
