hey this is Darlene and you're watching a RapidFireArt tutorial on how to draw
a nose. Here are some general steps to draw an average-looking nose. Start with
a circle. This is the tip of the nose. On both sides draw two lines for the bridge.
Curve your lines outward at the top as the bridge turns into the brow bone. Through
the middle of the circle draw a horizontal line. Extend it to the right
and left - slanting your strokes down just a bit. At the ends, draw two short
vertical lines. Connect them together at the bottom by drawing a line stretching
from one side to the other. At the top, draw two strokes that point towards the
bridge. I'm gonna do a few more examples of this later so don't worry if you
don't get it right away! Now that we have a set of general guidelines we can start
to draw the actual nose! Define the tip of the nose by working your way around
the circle. Draw the nostrils and sides by following the rest of the guidelines.
I'm gonna show you some unique examples so you can create a variety of no shapes.
Watch how a few small changes will give me a completely different looking nose!
This one's more angular... draw a really big circle for a big bulbous nose... here's
one with narrow nostrils... this one has higher nostrils. The biggest difference
here is that the horizontal line is NOT going through the center of the circle.
It's going through the top. Continue to stretch your imagination to get some
pretty cartoonish noses. Once you get comfortable,
slowly eliminate some of the guidelines. Here, I'm down to using just the circle.
Okay this is good at all but what happens when you want to add eyes? Let me
quickly draw a pair of eyes for this example. Draw a line down the center of
the face so when you draw the nose it's nice and straight. Draw a vertical line
coming down from the inner corner of each eye as well. These will mark the
boundaries for the nose. Okay, now we know how wide to draw... but what about length?
Here are two methods to do this. Method one: you can measure the full iris and
add about three irises to the bottom of the eye to find the nose length.
You can do this with your pencil and finger to get a rough measurement or
your ruler. Method two: draw a triangle where the top two corners touch the
outer corners of the eyes. This method requires a bit of trial and error. A good
triangle shape is where all the sides are similar in length. Once you pinpoint
the length, draw your circle and the rest will follow!
Let's do this again with a longer triangle. You can do quick sketches like
this to find the triangle shape that works for you but make sure you keep
your lines super light so they're easy to erase just in case you need to
reposition anything. Just for funsies I'm gonna quickly draw a cartoon in the
narrow space I have on the left. This way you can see me draw a more complete face.
The rest of this video is going to be focused on shading. But first I'm going
to quickly build the guidelines and nose. We've got the circle... bridge.. and to
check the nose for crookedness, place a transparent ruler down the middle
vertically and any crookedness should become apparent. Draw a horizontal line
through the middle of the circle. Extend the ends out and down. Measure them to
make sure they're the same size or else one nostril could be bigger than the
other. This is easy to fix now instead of later, so take your time with the
guidelines. Add lines going up towards the bridge and another one at the bottom
going around the circle. Check that your nostrils are level by using a ruler
aligned to the edge of your sketchbook. The nostril is a little higher on the right
so let me fix that before we move on. Alright, guidelines are done! Remember, you
don't have to follow your guidelines exactly to the tee! I'm gonna draw the
bottom of the nose a little further down than the circle. This will make the nose
a lot less round. Still using an HB here.
To add some definition and bring out the tip of the nose I'm adding a few curves
around the circle. Before shading, make sure the outlines are a super light.
They should be barely visible. This way they won't show through in the end. I'm
darkening some areas so you can see just how effective this is. Roll a soft
kneaded eraser until it's wider than your drawing and is completely smooth so
you can lift the graphite evenly. Roll it over your drawing swiftly to lift the
graphite away until it's a light gray.
Now it's ready for shading! With a blunt HB pencil, shade a light even layer along
the bridge and circle. I'm using the circulism technique, which is comprised
of many overlapping circular shapes.
Avoid harsh lines like this along the nose bridge and instead outline it by
shading. I'm just drawing a bunch of tightly
woven circles.
Shading around the sides of the nose as well... If your original outlines start
disappearing, darken them ever so slightly. I'm gonna give this nose
overhead lighting, so any areas facing away from direct light will be shaded
darker. I'm still using an HB. Just slowly building and layering these values. While
you can shade it really dark to begin with, layering slowly will save you from
making permanent mistakes... or ones that are just hard to erase. Shading around
the circle... I'm leaving the center of the circle
white because I want to highlight it later.
So, I wanted to use a 2B pencil to slowly build this up... but I couldn't find it
anywhere. So I'm using a 4B with very little pressure. Earlier I made a few
outlines to define the tip of the nose but they disappeared, so I'm going back
over these areas to give the nose a more unique form.
To make the bridge look more interesting to the eye I'm making it more narrow at
the bottom.
Alright, before the nostrils disappear completely, I'm gonna shade them using a
4B. The top part of the nostril has an abrupt change between light and dark
values so it's okay to use dark strokes. I want the edge to be really defined!
Just make sure the shading is softer and more gradual at the bottom of the
nostril. I'm doing the same thing with the bottom of the nose but the lines are
much lighter. I'm trying to avoid what looks like thick or obvious outlines. Now
I'm using an HB to shade a super light layer of graphite over everything. Just
so it's a different shade from my sketch paper. To cover more ground, use
an overhand grip on the pencil. This will give you thicker strokes and they're
also easier to blend.
Along the bridge, make the shading look more gradual by slowly layering small
amounts of graphite all the way down. Do the same thing across the whole drawing
making sure there aren't any harsh edges where the skin should be soft or smooth.
The form is really coming together now! If you feel comfortable with the way it
looks, continue adding more layers on top of
the dark areas you defined earlier. Working in layers allows you to change
your mind before truly committing to the final design. I'm using a 4B mechanical
pencil for higher precision. For a beginner, I recommend shading smooth
areas of skin using a regular 4B pencil - just in case you catch a sharp edge.
It'll also be easier to blend. I like the shape of the nose so far, so I'm going
over the darkest areas and amplifying them bit by bit. You can do this with a
2B pencil as well. Using a 4B just means that you'll need to be extra careful
with the amount of pressure applied, since softer pencils produce darker
values with little effort.
In case you're wondering, the thin highlight around the bottom of the nose
is coming from reflected light. As I mentioned earlier, the light source for
this drawing is coming from the top, but the light bounces and reflects off of
many surfaces such as other parts of the face, dust particles in the air, walls and
even flooring. These reflections can brighten areas facing away from the
direct light source. Hence the highlight around the bottom of
the nose and the sides of the nose.
I am going to shade this area a little darker because it's angled downward
which means there's less light reaching the surface. The example that I'm drawing
here is a profile view of the nose.
Alright, let's blend this. You can use many tools for blending. This is a
blending stump. I like to rough up the sides so I can
use the fuzzy part to blend instead of full-contact blending. It feels kind of
like shading and does a great job IF you have the time. To save time, I'm gonna use
a soft tissue. The tissue is wrapped around my finger to cover a large
surface area. After every swipe, remember to move your finger to a clean spot.
Prevent unwanted smudges by blending in sections and avoid blending from a dark
area into a lighter one.
Okay, I found my 2B pencil hidden under the desk.
I can shade a lot faster with a 2B because I can use it without thinking
too much about pressure.
I'm using an HB to shade along the bridge and tip of the nose. These are
areas I want to highlight later, so it helps to make them darker than the color
of the paper. I'm darkening the nostrils again and here's what I'm doing. I'm
outlining the top and gradually shading the bottom instead of outlining the
entire shape of the nostril and then shading it in.
Okay, let's blend this one more time. The skin looks a little bit grainy because
the sketch paper is textured. If you need to, use a sharp HB pencil to fill in
white dots or valleys on the paper's surface. I'm just filling in the really
obvious ones. Alright, there are a few blotches and black dots all around the
nose. To get rid of these, you can roll a kneaded eraser to a fine tip and lightly
dab them away. Repeat the process of filling white space or removing blotches
until your shading is as smooth as possible.
Okay, let's lift this drawing off the paper by adding some bright highlights!
Pinch or roll your kneaded eraser into your desired shape then dab rub or
swipe graphite from the lightest areas of your drawing. If you want to lift away
less graphite, use very light pressure. This is a great way to get soft edges.
I'm just lifting blotches and softening the edges around each highlight to make
the lighting look less harsh. If you make any mistakes,
use an HB pencil to fill in the spaces.
To give the drawing more depth, make your shadows even darker but remember to
darken some of the mid-tones as well.
