How to Draw a Smile
Do you like this story?
Step 1.
Okay, I've included three types of smiles, a nice big open smile which exposes the teeth, and it's more realistic, and two anime type smiles that are commonly seen on your favorite anime show or manga. For the realistic smile, draw one vertical line, and then a swooping dip. The other two just need a horizontal line that is slightly curled in at the corners, or dimpled.
Step 2.
You will now draw out the complete mouth set up for the two anime style smiles, including the top row of teeth for the mouth on the left. As for the realistic smile, draw a top lip, and then another line in the middle. Right now it looks like a top and bottom lip, but it is not.
Step 3.
Draw the hint of a bottom lip for the two anime style mouths, and then draw the bottom row of teeth for the mouth to the left, and the mouth to the right. Next, you will draw another line that cradles the bottom arch you drew in step one, and then add a slight dash in each corner of the smile.
Step 4.
Now you can start drawing out the arches for the top row of teeth, and then draw the boxy shapes for the bottom row of teeth. The other two mouths are all set.
Step 5.
Cap off the teeth and then sketch out a bottom lip. When you are done you can start erasing the lines that you drew in step one to clean up that smile.
Step 6.
And there you have it, a completed lesson on how to draw a smile, and how to draw an anime smile. That was wicked fun wasn't it. Color them in, or use these smiles on your next character drawings.
