from the right edge of the drawn horizontal line on the lower lip to lead a pencil to the right corner of the mouth, giving the right half of the lip a beautiful shape.
Do the same with the left half of the lower lip. When applying the contour, make sure that the left and right halves of the lips are symmetrical;
to draw a contour in the middle of the upper lip in the form of the letter V with two exact strokes. Then from the right apex of the letter V draw a line to the right corner of the mouth, from the left apex of the letter V - the line to the left corner of the mouth;
