why

>>115554809
because it looks better than if theres a full line there

Shows that the lips are being pressed together.

Because it looks better. Fill in those lines yourself and look how dumb it looks.

More characters need noses and lips

The artists never learned how to draw complete lines ;)

In the old days, Japanese sewed the fronts of their lips together to show humility. Even Shogun Tokugawa was remarkedas having such a feature by one of the Catholic missionaries. When Catholics rejected the practice, they were slaughtered for offending Tokugawa directly.

noses are the ugliest part of the human face, we can do without them

Speaking for yourself.

Those are moustaches; the mouths are invisible much like invisible anime noses.

You slightly move your head when when you kiss somebody so that your lips don't smash together like two plungers and start sucking the air out of each other.

Somebody post a kiss scene.

Yeah, the cheap animation that gives characters some sort of dog-muzzle face when seen from the side. That always looks bad. I'm surprised that anyone is actually bothered by OP's thing though.

It does. It makes it look like a line drawn on a surface instead of a gap that is being closed by skin. Having the missing part of the line makes it feel like the two sides of the line are actually touching, or that there is a gap that is covered by part of the lips.

Your mouth is thinner towards the middle.

It's a mustache.

Smiles are actually thinner towards the middle, but since anime and manga mouths are usually just a thin line, this is how they emualte that.

It's not rocket science.

>>115559217
It made me want to fap.

>>115556242

It gives the impression that the lip bulges out a bit.

>>115554809
In my own drawing, I actually hated doing this, but somewhere along the way--actually, at a time I avoided anime and focused on real people--I started drawing it with the gap. It looks better, though not always, and not even necessarily most of the time.

Firstly, the lip dips in in the middle, it's called the bow of Cupid, which would be more difficult to draw over and over, and an implicit line is more aesthetically pleasing than a simple line

It makes sense honestly. The sides/corners of the mouth are usually drawn darker to convey more depth, while the inner lip is drawn with a very thin, or no line at all.

>>115558888

It's meant to show a sense of compression between the lips
