I do mine like this, but I could also use some tips too.

Top left is how I usually approach them, right is examples of how I incorporate them into rest of head, bottom left is some practice with the constructional approach I started with.

I'd recommend looking at lips as a collection of shapes you can stretch and squash to your liking. The lip is conformed of these main 3 shapes, take them into account and it'll make life easier for you, you don't HAVE to always draws these shapes when you're making lips, but they do help for practice.

I just try to keep track of the form of the philtrum, the nodes of the mouth, the mentolabial fold and the opening or crease made by the mouth. I find that having in depth knowledge of anatomy is really helpful, but it is vital to not overdraw things, leave something for the viewer to interpret. Pic unrelated, just a self portrait.

Don’t draw the lower lips instead draw the shadow they cast down on the chin.
When you paint it’s the upper lips that are in shadow and defined, the lower lips are in light and best left without any contours

you should know what you want to draw, before you draw it. rote memorization and step-by-step things are good as a baseline, but the most important thing is to understand what you're actually doing.

in my case, i'm not actually drawing lips. I'm imagining drawing two spongey tubes of differing widths connected at their ends with one another

Glad it was helpful! The most life changing piece of advice is to just draw shadow shapes and keep line economy in mind especially on the face.
Basically you can show a lot by actually drawing less!

All lips should be DSLs
