Deviousness |
Where you made the first mark, go to the point furthest south where the gum ends between the teeth. From this point make a small line curving in words but to the left, now the same again to the right.(Sometimes their will be a tiny gap between the two lines, sometimes big and so on...)
Repeat approx 3-4 times to the left and right between each tooth and remember each time the gap gets inconsistently smaller.
Follow the same approach for the bottom of the upper teeth.
Next step is to connect the lines you have just drawn. Remember each tooth is different. For those that seem harder to connect find the lowest point of the tooth. Make a dot here and then simply draw to your left and right as the image dictates connecting the the dot to the edges of the teeth. When drawing lines always follow this approach. Drawing a line that isn't consistent in it's curvatures can sometimes act like an illusion. So you mark the start and finish of the line and then each point the line becomes inconstant. It is kind of like a dot to dot drawing. Instead of drawing one line that curves inconsiatantly 5 or 6 times in one go, simply draw 5-6 smaller lines that connect.
Repeat all of this again for the bottom teeth. Once you are satisfied with the alignment and only then can you begin to shade and add further details.
Did you use pencil or watercolor for the hair? ^_^
