Nice

When I draw the teeth, I have a very systematic approach. I draw the center gum line, and then draw the left and right gum lines with just a little check mark, not drawing all the way down the teeth. Then, I draw the outline of the teeth. This way, they are suggested, rather than individually drawn like "little pearls." You can shade a little toward the corners of the mouth, and the shadow of the lips over the top of the teeth. With teeth, less drawing is better. Just try to be a little more carefree in suggesting them.
