While you may never get the lines and shape perfectly accurate when compared to your reference photo you should spend a large amount of time (~20-30 mins) making sure that your shape and sizing is accurate before moving onto the next step
#DRAWING DIFFERENT NOSE SHAPES HOW TO#
How to Draw a Nose from the Frontīefore we get into the steps for how to draw a nose from the front first choose a reference photo of a nose you’d like to draw: Step 1: Draw the Basic Nose Shape So if your nose drawing doesn’t come out the way you’d like, understand that it will take time for your observation skills to grow and for you to better represent the correction proportion in your own drawings. Overtime, you will be able to see the subtle differences in your reference images and become better able to replicate them in your artwork. This is the reason why when the first time you tried to draw a face or portrait of someone, you likely made the eyes to big and nose to small and ears way out of whack (I know I’ve been there). With practice, your eyes will better be able to discern the differences in a drawings size, shape, and value. Observation in art means your ability to see the differences in size, shape, and value. One of the hardest concepts and skills to learn when drawing is observation and with that better replicating proportion of an object or figure. *again, this all depends on the light source angle The Importance of Observation and Proportion Mid Shade: the middle range shade will often make up atleast half the nose – this is the are that is not dark or heavily shaded but itsn’t as light as the highlightĭark Shade: the darkest shades you will use on a nose usually are for inside the nostril or dark outlines around the nostril
Lightest Shade: the light parts of the nose are generally reserved for the highlight or the are most exposed to the light source (in the image above you can see its the tip of the nose where the light is hitting Click here to check out my tutorial on how to draw a nose step by step from the side.Using the planes of the nose as a guide, you now narrow down different tones and shading based on the different shapes of the nose and where the light source is coming from.
Experiment with shading to achieve longer, flatter, or more defined noses and so on. You can try different diamond shapes as well as circles to create more unique nose shapes. Add some touch-ups and go over your highlighted areas once more with a kneaded eraser.
#DRAWING DIFFERENT NOSE SHAPES SKIN#
Next, you want to use a blending stump ( learn how to use a blending stump here) to gently blend out the skin and give it a softer look. Use the eraser to dab areas which appear too dark, any lines that show through or areas you want to highlight. You can shade around the top of the circle to make the nose look pointer or shade the middle of the circle to give it a flatter look. Shape and contour the bridge and ball of the nose.

We will darken the drawing later.Ĭlick here for a tutorial on how to draw a nose from the side Step 4: Draw the nostrilsįollow the diamond shape to create the nostrils. Don’t worry if the guidelines you created earlier didn’t blend in with your shading.
That is because the bridge of the nose leads into the brow bones. You will notice the shading is thicker at the top of the bridge. Shade around the outer part of the bridge and around the inner part of the circle, making a long “U” shape. Step 3: Shade around the nose bridge and tip Step 2: Draw simple guidelines for the nose shapeĭraw a horizontal line through the middle of the circle and a diamond-like shape around it for the nostrils. Keep the strokes light so they can be erased in later steps. How to Draw a Nose Step by Step Step 1: Start with a circleĭraw a circle for the ball of the nose and 2 curved lines on each side for the bridge. – Blending Stump ( Learn how to use one here) You can use a blunt HB pencil for a smoother shading and blending experience). – Mechanical Pencil with 0.5 mm HB lead by Ain (If you’re a beginner, it may be hard to shade with a mechanical pencil.
I will be using the following materials for this nose drawing tutorial: Breaking things down into sections will make drawing noses a breeze! We will first use simple shapes/forms as guidelines to construct the shape of the nose and to maintain symmetry. Below is a diagram of a nose broken down into 3 separate parts: the bridge, the nostrils and the ball or tip. Here is a very simple step by step tutorial on how to draw a nose from the front view.
