Wow thank you so much for this. I always get stuck at the lips when making a portrait of someone. Usually all tutorials seem really hard for me and i learn nothing from them but this one actually helped me. Thank you so much! 💜
I am doing BTS Jimin sketch but I am stuck at lips and hair 😅 your also army right.

Same. I can find very few tutorials that truly help. I find I draw better when I don’t watch tutorials but if I follow along, it just looks like a mess but this one was wonderful. All I need is a white pencil 😂 I think following along to tutorials are an art form in itself. I think it might be easier for people who can already master the fundamentals but for people just starting out like me? Hell nah 😂
Sometimes KZhead videos teach us more stuff than a real teacher does. Respect from one artist to another!
yaaa thats right she is teaching nicely
Definitely agree@@rimagupta5621

I drew some lips today. I asked my daughter, who is four, what did it look like. She thought for a moment and said they look like my lips. That is the mark of an excellent teacher! Thank you 😊

You don't exactly need the different types pencils, honestly. Changing the pressure of the pencil works just as good. I'm pretty sure you can do it just as good if you believe you can:) Best of luck
kzhead.info/sun/ar6oZ5iCp4Zohq8/bejne.html✍️.
Exactly
I tried it with the same pencil i.e,apsara and it works
Yeah whatever
Facts... I've been drawing with the same type of pencils ever since I was a kid and I'm not a pro-artist but yes I've been able to draw everything with that pencil
This is amazing. The best tutorial I have ever come across so far. What I really like the most about this tutorial is you tell us what type of pencil to use. I'm a beginner and I've watched countless of tutorial videos but no one explains what type of pencil they are using and when to use them so I always struggle with it. But today you made my day. Thank you so much. Please keep making videos like these for beginners like me. 🙏🏻
You are the very definition of absolutly amazing!! I'm so glad i found this video, I put in practice what i learned here and it works! lips was always a hard thing to do for me until now, i love you and please keep going what you do, you are amazing
Her drawing her voice and the background music so relaxing
R u Miraculous Ladybug fan?
everyone’s watching this video during lockdown am i right 😂
Yeah and I also thinking that do this right now,,, Allah save us from this covid 19.. I m from Pakistan.
Hahahahaha absolutely true😁😁 and now I wanted to be a artist.
Yes absolutely right
😂😂🤣🤣
Yes
thank you SO much for this surprisingly simple lesson in drawing lips! You are right, it isnt that hard at all once i have these steps now. Also THANK YOU so much for the ending pep talk! I really needed that too!
Anyone watching in 2024😊
Yeah!

I’ve always identified myself as “someone who can’t do art” for most of my life but deep down, I knew I had visions that I wanted to make through my hands. I just didn’t know how. I’ve just started getting into drawings/sketchings and paintings and I may not be that good but it sure as hell feels nice to be creating something and just be immersed into this. Thanks a lot!
Celestina Sin Omg I can relate to this the most!! I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’ve always had my visions about what I wanted to make, and now i’m finally starting to practice, and I have the goal that I will achieve my visions through my hands soon!! I hope it works out for you, just know that u can do it, it just depends on how determined you are!
I feel you @Celestina Sin..i never took art that serious till second year in campus,but now im learning and doing my shit.. One thing for sure in life,you can never get rid of something that's part of you.
I can relate, Also I'm trying soo hard and I accomplished somehow hahaha
OMG your avatar @@, I was trying to remove it from the screen :))
yassss 🙌🏻
I'm learning to draw to get out of my depression.. thank you for this amazing tutorial.

Be happy Don't be depressed Nothing is permanent Trust God😊
Such a great tutorial! Very clear, thank you!
Thank you so much for putting in the time showing us your talent. Learned a lot from this tutorial. Keep up the great work. 🙏🏽
Am I the only one who thinks this is insanely relaxing (apart from her talent) there’s something magical about her voice 😍
I love the way you explain and inspire to never give up, Im 45 and your videos make me believe that i can do it so thx a lot for that , keep up, you are such a beatifull soul 😍
Thanks a lot for your kind words! I am so happy to hear my work helps you. Please do not even think about yourself in a way that the age matters, of course you can do it:)

✋️🤭🇬🇧🇯🇲
Thank you Silvie for taking me through on how to draw realistic lips. What I mostly take in is your words of inspiration. I sometime lack the skills and confident so I feel I can't do it. Thanks for believing in us and I take your advise to never give up. Thanking you for all you time, I'm so grateful. I wish you wealth and happiness xx
Thank you for your nice comment Raksmei! I am really glad my work helps you and inspires you. I am sure everyone can do anything when they believe in themselves + work on themselves to achieve their goals. Do not let your fear limit you. Do not let your mistakes limit you. If you feel fear or make mistakes it is totally natural, but it depends how you use them. Try to use them in your favor:)
so good tips.❤❤ This is the first time i draw a nice lips! thank you so much.
Wow I’ve took on the challenge of drawing the “perfect” lips and I am quite impressed with my finishing product. Truly Amazing! I’m definitely going to dive more into my artistic side! Thank you for the motivation ❤❤❤
Eyes: easy Brain: I can do that Hands: Are you kidding me?
Me.. I can't My heart... I will try My brain.... I can do it My hands... Yes, I did it......
Lmao true

Haha that’s exactly what I’m saying
Ikr
I love how artist looks at all the minute details.
Thank you for your do’s and don't’s video they are greatly appreciated.
It’s perfect. Thank you so much for all your tutorials
Thanks for sharing ur technique Silvia! Being an artist myself, I could never get the lips quite right...Ur technique make it so easy. Thanks again!
I love these tutorials. I find her voice soothing and cathartic.
THANK U,, I JUST SAW UR VIDEO AND I APPRECIATE HOW U EXPLAIN THE TECHNIQUES AND HOW U SIMPLIFY THE LEARNING PROCES I, STRUGGLE ALOT SOMETIMES AND GET VERY FRUSTRATED, IM NOT MUCH INTO VIDEOS I USUALLY JUST TRY TO SKETCH ON MY OWN, AND I STRUGGLE WITH SKETCHING LIPS. YOUR VIDEO MADE MY DAY, A THOUSAND THANK U"S, GOD BLESS U
I don't believe, i made this and it looks realistic, u are amazing teacher and artist i drew first time after 4 yrs without practice this helps allot to me Love from India🧡💙💚
I love how she inspires people to not give up and keep learning. I admire you so much! Thankyou for inspiring me.
silvie :"see it's not that hard to draw realistic lips!" me:" i can't even draw unrealistic lips"
Army 😘
Same
Same gurl.
pintu bad taste of music
@@anana8389 Oh honey, you know nothing about BTS so it'll be better for u if u keep your mouth shut,okay😊😊
You're a very good teacher. You didn't just demonstrate, you explained why as well as how you used different techniques and tools. I particularly liked how you compared each lip to a 3D object to explain how to decide where the light source should fall, and where to create highlights and shadows. It was also useful to see you demonstrate the wrong way to draw. It made sense when seeing my mistakes being made by an artist, in a way that just seeing the correct way to draw wouldn't have done.
Silvie great practice too .brilliant light and dark shadows will at any time of day or room light .just so natural
I think lips are buldging out from the paper.....great applause..,👏👏
Yeah I think the same buddy😆
Me: lets do it Brain: yeah its easy Hands: Have u chosen death

Easy for you to say
Very very helpful; thank you!❤️

I love the message you give at the end it really made my day
Thank you very much for the video, it really helps a lot. Your explanation is very good and understandable.
I think the most important take-away here is this: good art takes PATIENCE. I’m so quick to rush in my work that I cheat myself out of amazing creations like these. Not only do I need your guiding tutorials, I need to grow my patience.
Exactly! People who never held a paint brush in their hands want to immediately draw hyperrealistic body parts like pros and get discouraged after it looks nothing like they envisioned it. Perfection takes time, developing skills takes time, and the 21st century we live in makes us believe we can achieve anything in 24 hours. It doesn't work that way.
Yes right
REALLY HELPFUL, CAN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD MY LIPS CAME OUT. 100% IMPROVEMENT... THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS
I am trying to draw a picture of my friend for her birthday, this tutorial helped me a lot!

Hi sis u can use artline pencil because it is very cheap and best too👍🏻
Me: mongol Her using other pencils Me:✋🙂🔫
Use mongol pencil. The no. 1 is for darker parts cuz, it's the darkest. You're clearly a fellow Filipino peep too so I know u have a mongol pencil
I use a normal school pencil 😂😂
