Creating the mouth with the Draw Sharp brush

We don't want our character to starve, so it's time to make a mouth! We're going to use a technique that creates the defining lines first, and then we can adjust the shape until it looks right. We're going to use the Draw Sharp brush to draw in a few key lines on and around the mouth. The Draw Sharp brush is closely related to the Crease brush, but it's even more aggressive and needs lots of polygons for the best results. Once we're done laying down our lines, we can use some of our other brushes to clean up the mouth shape.

Warning – this is going to look ugly at first; trust the process and we'll arrive at a proper-looking mouth by the end.
