How to draw a NOSE easily :

As I promised in previous tutorial(as you remember we’ve learned how to draw eyes) today we are going to learn drawing noses. I put everything together quickly, so if you have any suggestions or improvements – please comment and I’ll improve this tutorial.

The nose as well as all human features varies greatly in shape and form, both between different nationalities and individuals. By changing the shape of the nose you can give some special features to your character.

So how to draw a nose? As I noticed - everybody has problems with drawing the nose in the beginning. But actually the basics of drawing a nose aren’t that hard, and in this tutorial I’ll prove that there is nothing to be afraid of.
But get ready to fill your sketchbook with many different noses The nose is really a tough thing to draw, it looks different from different angles. It can mostly be seen by the shadows it casts. So the first step in drawing a nose properly is noticing the shape and characteristics that make it original. Notice how the tips of the nose can curve up, curve down, become extra round, or go straight.

When drawing a nose in profile, you see the curves are everything. When you draw it head-on, the shape and size of the nostrils, edges and proportion to the rest of the face are more important.

What else? Yeah.. nostrils. Nostrils are a much overlooked part of the nose. They are not simple black holes on the nose, but separate, definite shapes with their own shading. Many nostrils look like elongated commas, while others look like ovals. Some have sharp edges; others are more rounded. Make sure to draw the shape accurately and then shade it. The edges are usually darker that the inner area.

So now you know that the nose is simply a mix of curves and lines that can be drawn by the artist just like any other part of the face. With a little practice and these tips anyone can draw a nose. Good luck!
