Instead, I like to start by finding the unique lines and angles of the nose you are drawing. While this is a good way to draw an average nose, it doesn’t help when you want to draw a portrait or a particular nose.

For a more basic nose, draw a triangle with a diamond shape at the bottom, before sketching in nostrils and adding shade across the top and bottom to make it more detailed. You’ll see many tutorials teaching you how to draw a nose by starting with three circles. I talk about the basic shape of noses into painting them. To do this I create a new layer and pick up the base colour using the eyedropper tool and then go to the colour wheel, I stay within the green box shown earlier in this tutorial and select a slightly lighter tone. In profile, use a larger grid: the nostril should sit across the middle squares towards the bottom to ensure you get the proportions correct. Hi, in this video I talk about how to draw and paint noses in semi realistic art style. After doing this I use the Soft Gouache brush to paint in rough shadows varying my pen pressure, pressing harder where the darkest shadows are (eye sockets, under the nose and bottom lip and then around the armpit) and pressing lighter to softly paint in where the lighter shadows are to start building the idea of form.Īfter painting in the shadows the next step is to paint in the highlights and now that we’ve blocked in the shadows, we can use them to work out where to place the highlights. Second: Merge the layers so you're only using one, and start painting over the.

First: Paint the lines of the sketch a brighter colour more similar to the skin tone (by using 'Group with Previous' on a new layer).

Start adding shadows on the lowest layer. From there, you can see how to draw noses even more complex and in different shapes and sizes. Add the base colour on a different layer under the sketch. After laying down the base skin tone previously shown, I use the base skin tone colour and create a new layer and clip it down to the base skin tone layer so that I can’t colour outside of that shape and set it to multiply (1) which can be found in the layer mode drop down menu next to the opacity settings. Illustration In this tutorial, you will learn how to draw a nose easily using its simplest and most basic shapes. Another step by step, hope you enjoy it I have in no way perfected the nose painting, and I have different ways of doing them, but here are some.
