In this lesson we're going to now take a look at drawing the nose forms, and then taking those basic forms

into dynamic forms, and then I'll also show you some shorthand tricks, if you wish.

Tips and tricks for drawing the nose very quickly, based on the stylization that you're wanting to do.

So when we start off the, basic form we want to have in our minds when we're drawing the nose, is really

a pyramid-ish type of shape.

Something like this, where we have, kind of, an indication of the bridge of the nose, the side plane of

the nose, and then the bottom of the nose. And then to, kind of, add a very similar type of form to the side

of it, where we have a triangular structure, more like this, coming off the sides, giving us those nostril

areas. Let's draw through here, to get that up there, it's a little bit off.

And drawing these through, and I'm just going to draw through the entire form here.

Just get that structure in, and drawing these triangular structures. Weight this up, so we can see what

is in front and what is behind, Keeping it loose and effectively, this is a good basic form understanding

of the structure of the nose. It does run up slightly higher into the head and goes just into the brow region

over here.

But nevertheless, these kind of triangular structures, are a good guide for us, for just grasping the basic,

basic forms of the nose. Alright.

And when we take these basic forms, and we add dynamism to them, we can start bending them in a directional

way, and adding curves. So here I'm going to bend it at a curve.

We'll keep the basic structure of that triangular structure, curve this section, curve this section, we'll curve

this.

Now we're turning it, is in three quarter view.

So let's keep that in mind.

It's three quarter rotation, both of them are.

And bending those triangular shapes. You will have to kind of, use our imaginations here, and imagine

where that might connect on the other side.

Bend it, bend it and get that bottom plane there. And you can see immediately, absolutely immediately,

how this dynamic form looks more lifelike, right, by using our opposing curves theory, curves that

way.

And then the front curves the opposite way.

Right.

Of that section of the form et cetera.

Right.

So now, once again, we have the front plane, bottom of the nose, side of the nose, and then the top of the

nostrils. And then the nostril areas ware down here. I'm just going to darken this up just to kind of enhance

that.

So really it's what we've been doing all along, taking very basic building blocks, adding dynamism to

them by bending the lines, giving them directionality.

And you can see just the impact that that has, especially on the nose, and how much more life like the

nose starts to seem, when you do something like that.

Let me show you some shorthand tricks. I'm going to show you two, sort of, short hand tricks, tips, tricks, I don't

know what i will call them- shortcuts maybe for drawing the nose. And the first one is, and you've seen me do this

a lot, and it really is my go to.

I will start with an ellipse, if I'm drawing a three quarter view.

I'll draw an ellipse at an angle like this, if I'm doing a front view,

I'll just do an ellipse like this.

And for the front view, I really just add in a nostril here, add in a nostril here, sort of at this

angle, and it kind of implies the bottom of the nose plane, helping you to, kind of, envision, where you

might place the bridge, somewhere here, to show the top plane, right, and then imply, you know, not explicitly

state, but imply the side planes.

So really that technique, is just an ellipse to define the bottom of the nose plane, put in those nostrils,

and most of the time, you will really get a good nose feeling from just doing this, right, from just doing

this ellipse and these two nostril indentation indications.

Let's say. Alright. And from a side view, it's very much the same thing.

And it depends on the nose you want to do, you can do, sort of, very kind of pointy up noses, depends how

at the angle that you tilt the ellipse, but really you draw the ellipse in and you draw the one nostril in and then you

darken the bottom of the ellipse here, and let's just copy this,

Let's just copy this shape, with a quick sketch.

So I want to show you two different nose designs. And what you can do is, say you want to get a very kind of

Disney-esque pixie type of nose, or something like that, you can really just put in a bridge like that,

and now you have the top plane, the side plane, the bottom plane.

And if you want to add that extra detail, you can just put another line in to indicate the top of the nose.

And so this would be the bottom of the nose, here's the nostril,

and from this particular view you can't see the far side nostril, but you could indicate it if you wanted

to, it's just a little bit of a line.

So you can do that.

And the reason I copied it here is, you may want to do somewhat of a more masculine nose, or more of a

sticking out kind of nose, a pointy nose.

So what you can do is , just bend that in, and then bring it up into the bridge, and it gives you more of

a pointy out kind of nose.

And so really, you can manipulate these lines as you wish, to get different nose sizes and different nose

shapes.

You know, you may want to do some kind of witch type of nose.

So for example, I would then use those basic forms, kind of over, over proportions certain elements of

them.

And so here I'm going to over proportion the top plane, and I'm going to take this bottom plane like this, give her

giant nostrils, which I'll just draw as holes here, kind of circular holes, and just get that, kind of still

trying to feel that bottom plane out with the ellipse.

Get that feeling in.

And maybe this is a witch's nose, and it's like a giant witchly, kind of, nose shape.

Right.

And the second one I want to show you, is just somewhat of a more Asian style, I shouldn't say Asian.

I suppose that's too broad a term, more of a manga kind of manga style but not all the time because

generally speaking in Manga a lot of the time, they are not drawing the nose, or they're putting a dot for the

nose.

But I have seen more eastern styles to have a nose that is more of a bump and less of a an ellipse.

So even from a three quarter view, they start with a circle, and then the shape would kind of wrap around

like this.

And you can see it's much more of a round type of nose, and you can really just add in extra details if

you want there like that. So pretty straightforward.

And similarly, you can do the front view in the same way, and then you would just kind of pull the nostrils

there.

And it really helps imply that round shape of the nose.

That's pretty straightforward.

And those were some shorthand tips.

That is the end of the nose lesson.

Let's move on.
