animate. As the lips move, the surrounding area deforms according to the
underlying muscle structure, and it is this structure we need to try to follow
with our edge loops.
●
To start, we are going to create a
Cut
running from the corner of the nose,
down to the mouth area (Figure 8.13b). This will be used to dei ne the
“Smile Lines,” or “Nasolabial Folds.”
●
Once cut,
Merge
the edge of the lower triangle, leaving us with one
remaining.
●
Create a second
Cut
, this time running down the outside of the existing
one ( Figure 8.13c ).
●
Finally,
Delete
the edge between the two triangles.
Now we can move on to the mouth area. As you can see from Figure 8.14, this
is currently a blank canvas waiting to be worked on.
●
Start by dividing the mouth area; you should aim for something similar to
that shown in Figure 8.14b. Follow on the existing cuts we created for the
nose down to the chin.
●
Next, create a horizontal
Cut
dei ning where the actual mouth will be
( Figure 8.14c ).
