For the lightest areas, I used an eraser and removed the graphite on the ridge, the ball of the nose, and the wings until a bit of white paper was revealed.

How do you draw attention to specific areas of a painting? Here I want this nose to stand out as a vital element of the face. However, to do so we need to take into account how the painting will ideally look when finished. When we do this, we can truly bring all elements of a painting to life. — #oilpainting #nose #nosering #nosecontour #watercolor #watercolour #fineart #aquarelle #acrylicpainting #paintinglessons #artresin #artresidency #artrestoration #drawingchallenge #inktober #homedecor #artcollector #interiordesign #architecture #collector #vintage #mcm #charcoaldrawing #artinspiration #instructor #masterclass
Step-By-Step Lesson in Drawing Noses
You may not realize it, but your nose is a combination of various shapes that join up to form one feature. The easiest way to get a correct rendering is to begin with simple geometric forms. With this basic framework, I can construct it into what everyone will recognize as a nose. Once that’s done, adding shadows with the pencil gives it depth and helps it appear three dimensional.
Step 1
Our noses are symmetrical, with the same thing on either side. To keep that symmetry, I started with a vertical line. At the end of it, I put a circle. Next, I overlapped it with one on each side. Later on, these will become the end or ball of the nose and the wings that flare out and encompass the nostrils.
On top of the nose, I drew a trapezoid representing the bridge. For the ridge, I added an adjacent one, only upside down. Since the nose is widest between the bridge and the tip, a line went there.
Step 2
The bridge splays outward where it connects to the cheeks. It’s good to add lines on the sides to remind you, otherwise your nose could end up looking like a beak and we don’t want that! These lines also came in handy when I started adding hatching.
HINT: Hatching is placing lines very close together to darken in an area.
Try to consider the end of the nose a sphere so it’s easier to envision how the light washes over it. In this instance, the light is coming from above, so the top receives the most light, and the underneath less. A way to know where to make it darker when you begin shading is to separate the nose with contoured lines that divide the top and the bottom.
