Think about which parts of the face are going to be in front of the other! This can take some time to get the hang of, but once you get that down it’s easy. Also, focus on getting the heads at the right distance and angle. A common mistake is drawing them too close. Still keeping in mind which part of the line is “Red’s” upper lip and which part is “Blue’s” lower lip, play around with the shape of the lightning. Very subtle changes can have a very strong impact! I usually go by feel, so take your time, but here are some things to look out for: Details squishing etc. So yeah once the lightning shape looks good, I usually add details and squish parts of the face that will touch. By now it should look something like this: Which usually includes the noses, but from this angle they won’t squish unless you intend on making nice big noses <3. You don’t have to add the corners of the mouth! I usually do when I want to show that the character is smiling. One technique used a lot in anime/manga + other cartoony art styles, is fading lines where two soft-ish objects press hard against each other. Getting down the crucial kissing part of fanart is hard and you will mess upp SO MANY TIIIIIIMES, but you learn from your mistakes, so don’t be discouraged.
There are some things though that I frequently see when people draw kisses that makes it look awkward and stale, many of which I used to do myself. Most of the mistakes have little to do with the lips and more to do with the angle of the head. So getting that down before you move on to the lips is important. There are not a lot of angles where you actually see the lips meet (or at least not that I can draw…).
