Hi all! Today I will show how to draw a nose for beginners in 3/4 perspective from three positions. 
This lesson is a little different from the previous ones. In each step you will be given a choice: each of the three proposed noses from the same angle, but the first is at eye level, the second is below eye level, and the third is above it.
In this tutorial I used the following materials:
— sketchbook (Canson);
— pencils НВ/ТМ and 2В/2М (Derwent);
- kneaded eraser.
Step 1
Decide from what angle you want to draw the nose. The level of inclination of the volumetric shape implies the height of the nose (how far away it is from the face), and the width determines the width of the nose.
Draw the outlines with a hard-soft pencil as discreetly as possible. I purposely draw with bright lines so you can see them.
Step 2
Draw two circles, placing them at the extreme points of the volumetric shape (in the third example, draw another one). The circles should extend halfway out of the lines.
Step 3
Using a soft (2B) pencil, draw a curve from the top of the 3D shape to show the beginning of the bridge of the nose leading into the eyebrow. To enhance the definition of the eyebrow, lengthen this arch.
Step 4
Draw the tip of the nose supported by the main circle.
Draw a line around the nasal septum and give the tip a unique shape.
Connect this line to the top arc. No nose is perfect, so add some bumps to make it look more interesting.
Step 5
Draw curves along the remaining circles to create the wings of the nose.
Step 6
Don't know what size your nostrils should be? Take the circles we drew earlier as a basis.
In the second example I did not draw the nostrils - they are usually not visible from this angle.
Step 7
Before you start shading, draw a curve parallel to the bridge of your nose that will mirror its shape from step 4.
Erase all unnecessary lines.
If your shadows are barely visible, or if you're concerned about contour lines showing through your design, use the linear shading method.
After you get the hang of drawing similar noses, try experimenting with drawing noses with different sizes circles, as in the examples below:
The article was translated from the site rapidfireart.com.
In this lesson we will draw a nose with a pencil step by step, front view. The nose happens different forms. Check out the image of the nose from different angles below.
We will draw three different noses at the same time. Snub-nosed, straight and slightly curved downwards.
Draw a circle as the basis of the tip of the nose.
Draw the bridge of the nose with two curved lines.
Depending on what kind of nose we have, we place two circles of smaller diameter (the wings of the nose) differently. A man's nose is usually longer and larger than a woman's and the ideal nose is a subjective concept, each person has an idea of perfect nose varies and also depends on culture and race.
Use an eraser to lighten the lines of the nose. We draw the contours of the tip of the nose and the wings of the nose, note that the contours of the wings are different.
Apply shading to the nose with a 2H or HB pencil to highlight the shape of the nose in a light tone. The light source in this version is from the top left, so the right side of the nose will be darker than the left.
Use cross hatching to complete the shading. different parts. Use 2H or HB pencils for light shades and 4B for dark shades, you just need to decide where to place the light and shadow. If you use few contrasting shades, the design may appear flat. Therefore, unless the person has a flat nose, always use a wide range of shades.
Move a little away from the drawing, see what is wrong and add additional shadows.

When people learn to draw, they initially try to reproduce the contours of an object, instead of its volume. This tendency is especially evident in portraits. But in drawing such parts of the face as the nose, it is very important to understand that this shape is three-dimensional, it is not just a contour. Of course there are different types drawing - linear, tonal... Therefore, the artist can draw a portrait with one line, without shading and without volume. However, at the learning stage, beginners need to learn that the nose, eyes, and lips are not a contour line, but a volumetric shape with chiaroscuro.
To do this, I drew a diagram that will help you understand the shape of the nose. If we simplify the drawing to geometric shapes, then the nose will look like a triangle. And this shape is convex, voluminous. That is, the nose will consist of three faces - two lateral and one central, which is called the dorsum of the nose. Depending on the direction of the light, one of these faces will be in the light, and the other two will be in shadow or partial shade. Keeping this in mind, you can quite easily “blind” volumetric form nose After the three edges are outlined, you need to draw the tip and wings of the nose (see what these names mean at the end of the article). To do this, you can outline three circles, since both the wings of the nose and the tip of the nose look like “balls”. After this, you can refine the drawing, moving away from geometry to real outlines.
In addition to the schematic image, I also completed a full step-by-step classic drawing of the nose. The illustration shows three main stages. On the first stage, construction is carried out. On the second, light shading of shadows is laid. At the third stage of drawing the nose, all the halftones and details are worked out. But whatever the stage of the drawing, the shading in the portrait needs to be “laid out” as if in brush strokes. Those. the strokes should form planes. In the second stage of my drawing, it is clear that these planes or faces are quite large and generalized. At the third stage, these planes become smaller, due to which the details are drawn in more detail. That is, the drawing is, as it were, “molded” with small planes or edges. It is similar to the work of a sculptor who uses his fingers to shape the clay into the desired shape. If you hatch too smoothly, the drawing will be less realistic and look like a plastic mask. Therefore, novice artists need to pay attention to this advice special attention, since this is rarely talked about, especially in educational drawing lessons on the Internet.
To learn how to draw a portrait, of course, it is not enough just to correctly convey the shape, sculpt the volume, etc. In a portrait you need to be able to reflect the character of a person. And character is reflected, among other things, in the individual shape of the nose. Yes Yes. Each person has their own unique nose. But this “variety of noses” can be divided into types. For example, the nose can be straight, hump, curved, etc. To see these features clearly, I drew ten different types of nose. This drawing will help in conveying individual characteristics man in a portrait.
Well, at the end of this lesson, I will also list the main names in plastic anatomy nose, which can be traced according to the diagram below:
- bridge of the nose;
- bridge of the nose;
- tip of the nose;
- wings of the nose;
- nostrils;
- partition.
A special part of drawing is the nose, which is often overlooked by portrait artists. Although this shouldn't happen! If your nose doesn't work out at all, then the whole portrait will suffer. Therefore, we will learn to draw a nose!
Three images of a nose
The image in front of you is a regular sketch of a nose.
The nose has completely simple shapes: both lines running along the entire length of the nose, a rounded ball that indicates the type of nostrils and nose.
This drawing indicates the initial sketch of the nose, with shadows applied to it.
Here is a completely finished illustration of the nose.
In this figure the sketch is no longer visible. Here you can notice that the features of the nose are no longer filled with sharp lines, but with shadow.
The illustration above indicates the structure of the nose using red lines. To adjust the appearance of the nose, we raise and lower our red lines.
Below in blue color shows how you can draw a shadow that will be located directly under the end of the nose.
Occasionally the shadow will be heavier and sometimes a little lighter and softer, but most of the time when lit it will be exactly as shown.
Of course, it is clear that there cannot be much shadow on the side of the nose or on the side of the bridge of the nose, which is more illuminated.
In order to avoid making the mistake that beginners most often make, you should not highlight the entire contour of the nose on both sides. This is not beneficial because the outline makes the portrait look completely unrealistic. So it’s better to draw the outline of the nose using shadows.
When you draw or shade around the nose, try to apply less pressure with your pen or hand, because... they require light pressure. These three areas are shown in the figure.
In the event that you are drawing a theme that does not contain many sharp shadow transitions on the face, then you should not draw these features too much. In normal cases, you can simply shade it slightly. For example, as shown above.
1) The area marked in blue has an almost invisible shadow and shows the nose from the side.
Here the area near the edge of the eye and the area where the invisible “ball” sign is located near the nose are shaded.
Typically where the highlighted side of the nose is, few portraits allow for a little more shading, but not much anyway. When shading, special attention should be paid to the bridge of the nose. In order to ensure the proper illusion of size and depth of the nose, it is usually necessary to shade and highlight the details of the nose in the area dark side, as shown on the left side of this figure.
2) A further area, when working with which you need to press lightly when drawing - the “smile line” highlighted in the image green. This line is usually called the nasolabial fold.
On this image you can see a slight smile effect. Imperceptibly downwards, the strokes first weaken and then completely disappear. There are types of faces in which the “smile line” is much darker and longer.
3) On the surface of the skin, on the upper lip, from the area of the line located in the middle, a labial groove emanates, which joins the protrusion of the upper lip. In the figure, the groove is indicated in red and is also applied with light strokes.
Also you can't get around special attention white areas near the nose, which are shown in the picture above.
As the highlighted image aptly points out, the areas near where the nostrils begin are not delineated in many cases. The pattern will look much rougher if you highlight the entire base of the nose (under the nostrils).
Let's pay attention to the area on the side of the nose, located between the beginning of the “smile line” and the nostrils. You don't have to place the "smile lines" directly next to the nostril. Some people have a gap between the nostrils and the “smile line.”
Pay attention to this nuance when you begin to depict the area near the nose. In this picture, the space is slightly increased. By paying attention to the various typical characteristics of faces, you will notice this space.
This figure shows the nose at an angle, located in the projection?.
If our portrait, instead of the front view, is depicted in a projection?, then the nose is also in the same projection, and that means it will look at a slight angle.
In the picture you can notice a purple line that is located in the very center of the face.
To the left of the purple line is a section of the nose sketched with red lines.
On the other side of this line there is a blue shading that indicates the nostril areas. IN in this case, the nose is drawn turned, and does not look symmetrical on any side at all.
The green color indicates that the edge of the nostril lives approximately on the same line as the corner of the inside of the eye. Likewise, when viewed from the front, they will be located on the same line.
I used an orange line to indicate how the edge of the nostril should be drawn in relation to the center of the mouth.
Although different people various shapes nose or mouth, they are mainly depicted in this way. The girl depicted in the picture does not have a very large or very wide nose, however, we will apply the “line method” to her.
Those who are just starting to master drawing techniques depict their noses as too narrow. To achieve a successful nose width, pay special attention to this.
Look at the purple nose. This indicates how far away it is from the face. Don't be afraid to draw it. Feel free to experiment with your nose, but don't change its length too much.
Keep in mind that if the noses you draw are the same length, they will look completely unrealistic. Since people different faces, then their noses should be different. Depict them as closely as possible to the original.
The proportions of your nose must be respected.
As you can see from the two red and two purple lines above, the length is not that much greater than the width.
Not everyone has the same size. However, some of the artists draw the nose either too long or very short. Mainly, your portrait should be realistic.
Draw a nose with a pencil, step by step:
1) First, draw a sketch of the nose. The lines on the sides of the nose should not be darkened. One side is usually shaded more than the other.
2) Now you need to shade the base of the nose and its side that lives in the shadow. Mark the nostrils in the drawing. Next you need to shade the nostril that is in the shadow.
3) Finish shading the nose. Using soft shading, we highlight the areas of the roundness of the nostrils and the area of the “ball” of the nose.
Drawing tutorials went pretty easy this weekend and for today I have prepared for you a new part in drawing a person - nose. We will look at the task of drawing noses in a very simple form. These tips and steps are very easy to follow. It's as easy as getting a ready-made result. Here you will see very different noses, looking at which you can even choose shapes in general and nostrils in particular. If you've ever struggled with drawing a nose, you'll find this tutorial very helpful. That's all for the introduction and now I still have time to think about some other parts of the face and body to learn how to draw a person completely. There will be something new soon, but for now let’s draw the nose and remember. and even we have already learned. Let's start digging deeper.
Step 1.
There are a huge variety of nose types and each one creates a unique effect. Note that each nose is different from each other except in the main angles. Again, looking at women's noses, note that they are much softer than those of a man.
Step 2.
First we will start drawing the nose from the front (straight view). Start by making a circle for the tip of the nose. You can outline the tip of the nose, then draw the sides that will be the nostrils and then add the bridge of the nose. Paint over the nostril holes.
Step 3.
Now try drawing a circle for the nose again, draw a slightly different shape for the tip, nostrils and bridge of the nose and add shadow lines for the openings of the nostrils.
Step 4.
A little more experimentation. Let's make a circle, the tip of the nose, the nostrils and the bridge for the bridge of the nose, then add details and shade.
Step 5.
Now let's draw the nose from the side (side view). Draw an angle for the nose shape you want and then sketch out the nostrils or one visible nostril, then add detailing on and around the tip of each nose.
