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.
Some snippets from a Hat Drawing Tutorial I just posted to Patreon. I may share it openly, eventually, but for now it’s available to all patrons, $1 and up!
Hair Tip #1 – When drawing hair, start with the hairline and hair part(s). Then keep the flow and volume in mind while you add details!
I’m not the best at drawing or painting hair, but someone on instagram requested that I make a post about it so hopefully this will help someone! This is the first of 3 tips I’m going to share.
I don’t need to add too much explanation today. A cape, cloak or long coat simplifies the silhouette of most character, gives them a unique look or presence and conceals a lot of the overall anatomy. Keep track of the character underneath to know where to fold, drop or stretch the fabric. The fabric itself should play a role too. Different behave differently. Movement and gravity are key to “ground” your character in the environment and make it look believable.
