literally why do they do this? It doesn't make it look better.

It looks weird otherwise

They made it purely to annoy anons like you :3

It's less cartoony that way. It's emulating the tip of the upper lip overlapping the lower lip.

>>133825629
Thank you. This.

Drawing lines are hard

>Drawing 2 lines is lazier than drawing one line

What?

>>133825550
It makes it look cuter because it makes their lips look softer.

It implies the lip dipping down in the center.

>>133825550
You're an idiot.

>>133825748
>oh shit I can't draw this complete line and have it look right I'll just draw two smaller lines and have the viewer use their imagination

>>133825851
I'm afraid you're the idiot, my friend.

Anime art styles are all about implying details anon. Is drawing the full shape like this really the correct choice for most series?

>>133825957
Their noses are also little lines or dots.

>>133826042
The correct choice is to draw everyone with full lips instead.

It's actually lazier to just do one line then two.

Shocking, I know.

Problem?

only seen in meme shows of course

That actually looks good though, even considering how he's meant to look scared.

Which is why it works with certain art styles and in certain times.

It's the fucking lips overlapping, why is this difficult to understand?

I really like that style, but it can be quite distinctive and too realistic for some series. Especially for female characters, nips like girls with tiny mouths.

Some people have trouble understanding anatomy.

>>133825550
Because it looks less flat.

Some people need to make up problems they can outdo to feel special.

>>133825957
Linework that varies in width and completely fades for small bursts is harder to do than mostly uniform lines... but that means it technically has a gap so it's lazy.

Look at this hack's artwork where Rem's profile doesn't even have complete lines. Why is Obata one of the laziest artists ever? I would draw those lines so I'm better. Somebody agree that I'm better.

>>133828229
Fuck I love Obata's art.

>>I'll draw and shade most of a mouth, but that spot? Fuck you all, I'm taking the day off!
It'd be alright if the artist wasn't so lazy.

This so fucking much.
Varying line weight is much harder. Where to put it and how much weight to apply.

And then there's this dumb bitch... she's so lazy, she doesn't even bother lifting up her pen between letters so it's like they're stuck together. I hate people with style so much, they're so lazy.

>>133828848
I find unfinished letters more irritating it sometimes makes the sentences harder to read.
