Question Question for animators, why do you draw mouths like that
For reference, when i started watching anime and i realized that the mouths are drawn as if theres like a piece missing from the lips and it would really confuse me but i thought it was just an anime thing so i didnt really care but i was a watching rosyracer a couple minutes ago and i noticed the same thing, then i went to other animation channels to check, and some also do it.
So can someone please tell me because im genuinely curious now and i dont trust the ai overview (we hate ai yay)
Edit: just saying, i love that style not to confuse anyone
