Hi! Is There Any Chance That You'd Be Willing To Do A Tutorial On How To Draw Or Colour Noses? I Adore

Hi! Is there any chance that you'd be willing to do a tutorial on how to draw or colour noses? I adore the way you paint, and thought I'd ask since I can never do noses right. 😅

Hey there!

Noses can be as hard to draw as hands, I can see why one would struggle with them. So here’s a tutorial that will hopefully teach you a thing or two!

When I draw a nose from the front (which is 99% of the time) I like to start with the nostrils, because they are the most important and most visible part of the nose. Then I just make an outline of the shape by drawing the columella (bottom part of the nose between the nostrils), and the ala (side parts). I put some base color at the bottom of the nose and some lighter color at the bridge of the nose. Then I clean everything up and add some highlights at the tip of the nose and the sides of the ala, like shown.

For drawing a nose sideways you should think of the nose as 2 bubbles and a tube, it helps a lot. Then draw the nostrils and erase the lines of the circles that are not needed. In this drawing I assumed the light comes from above, so a shadow would form under the nose.

Here are some examples of the best noses that I’ve drawn:

Tip: when drawing a face it’s important to remember that the skin on the nose is a bit more pink/red than the rest of the skin!

Also, if you’re struggling a lot draw with a reference! Look up some pictures of noses and try to replicate the photo, that’s how I learned to draw noses.

Here are some cool videos to help you:

do you have any advice on anatomy? and how do you often draw/break it down in your style if that's okay to ask? :0

if youve got the time for it id recommended just buckling down and studying skeletons and muscles! like straight up google images human body diagram, copy it a few times from a few angles, and just memorize the largest bits,. its absolutely really ugh yikes tedious to copy a gazillion bones but being familiar with even just the general placements of certain bits of bone structure or large muscles makes it so much easier to make stylization decisions, draw quicker, visualize how the body is placed in 3d space, especially with no ref in front of you, etc etc and it definitely makes me feel studier in my people drawing?hhhh i know for sure ive got to properly study muscles at some point like i mostly just wing it so dont trust me too much on that

here ive done a few quick general notes and such on what i think about when im drawing but im sorry im realizing now theyre sort of messy.so.if you or anybody really wants to see clearer examples of how i draw anatomy i could share some of my pages from life drawing,, which i think are like.basically how i normally like to draw anyway but more focused on being proper,,. idk but if anyone thinks it could be helpful i can post some :)

Tuesday Tip — The Nose Here’s the way I approach the nose. For my taste, the simpler, the better. But it’s always good to know what you’re working with. Havre a great Tuesday! -Norm
