Why is this allowed?

Looks better that way.

Saves money on ink

Because it's a stylistic choice that works and looks good.

it doesn't look good though. anime was better when artists could actually fucking finish their lines. people don't have two mouths.

You might be autistic. This is essentially like saying WHY CAN I SEE THEIR EYE THROUGH THEIR HAIR???

do some research before you post things like this

how about WHY CAN I SEE THEIR EYES THROUGH THEIR FUCKING GLASSES

Superior lips

You've been under the basement for too long

This one is stupid too, though.

>people actually defending this

kek

Because they don't have actual lips.

did you buy the blu-rays?

It's easier to draw, don't look bad, and it might be to not make them look like some weird ass smiley. Try to ''connect'' those lip lines, and it will often look ugly. The middle of a real mouth would have something a bit pouty-like thing there. Skipping that with just a straight like looks bad, but just fading the middle place with skin-color makes it better.

inb4 autism

do you know how line thickness works? when two soft things press together (like lips), the line gets thinner or disappears to show that. you can also make lines thicker and thinner to illustrate speed or weight

see how her cleavage line disappears in the middle of her tiddies in this picture? it's the same rule

If anything, I'd say that artists don't know how breasts work.

It's the same dumb rule

It's not about breasts, it's about light

Been done forever. It looks fine.

no, in this case I mean

>no bra
>perfect cleavage

educated yourself symboldrawer

I heard Kyoani added noses to the Nichijou bluray, but no one bought it to confirm.

>no one bought
Now that's another problem

That made me laugh harder than it should have.

Drawfags FUCK OFF

It implies the dimple in the middle of the lip. If you draw the actual dimple it can look shitty for the style so artists skirt around the issue with an implied line.

it shows theyre pressing together

I hate them so much

Same shit with lipstick. Plus, it really only works with actual shading, not cel shading.

I fucking hate lipstick in anime so much. They always end up looking like some kind of megaskank

Ako is a megaskank so it fits.

let me guess, you actually think the characters don't have noses either, because there's barely any lines made to signify their presence?

You think that's bad?

the thing is I rarely see this technique done well,I mean i'm not one of the autists here who get triggered by it, but it just doesn't seem to do much most of the time

>Muh good old times anime then and anime now meme.

See

BECAUSE THE CORNERS OF THE MOUTH ARE MORE RECESSED THAN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOUTH.

therefore, when you draw the mouth, you gotta insist on the corners rather than on the middle of the mouth.
This helps simulate the thickness of the lips and makes the mouth look "more closed" than if you drew a continuous line.

Of course it's very stylized at this point but that's how it fucking works. If you don't realize this, you're probably the kind of guy who thinks that drawing people with two identical feet is better because all the toes are visible.

You are very stupid.

>drawing people with two identical feet is better because all the toes are visible.
What?

yeah like the egyptians

not having all the parts of the human body visible at all times triggered their autism so they drew dudes with two right or two left feet to show all their toes.

No. Hair aren't actually solid masses, you can see eyes through them in real life if they aren't bunched up too densely.

I really hate it when they do that, it looks stupid.
Lip lines don't bother me though.

suppose to be a simplified high light.

I thought they were holding condoms in their mouths.

No. That's not how hair works.
