ok i suck reeaaallly really bad at drawing human noses and i was wondering if anyone has any techniques they could show me hehe (i dont think i saw a nose lesson on here yet so thats why im posting hehe)

This is my last drawing i did (and look how bad the nose looks )

Sorry, Antisnow.

I just don't do faces personally. I wish I could help but I also have a total block in my drawing when I must do any type of facial features. Mine are so bad, you couldn't even call them "Abstract" art. But, just wait long enough and some nose surgeon will come online and tell you exactly how to put one together.

Good luck,
Eric

Just a suggestion for what it is worth.

Drawing is good. From your view – it looks like the right nostril is bigger than the left. From your angle the left should be bigger, the figure is slightly turned.. Also play with a small outline Top of the nose.

Brenda has some wonderful lessons on noses.look in on her lessons.! lorrir

The DrawSketch site (part of about.com) has a wealth of drawing articles, and in particular this one about drawing noses:

Noses are hard in the begininning....mainly because the entire form and shape is formed by shades/values, and "plays" of light/darks. To render a nose well you must be able to render round objects with gradations of white/gray/black. This is the basis of creating the illusion of form for a nose. I would suggest studying Brenda's lessons on these things specifically.

The drawing is not bad. You're right, though; the nose is off. I suggest adding some shading to make it three dimensional. In Anime-manga style, noses tend to be very simple. It's usually just hte part where it's shaded and that's the nose. Try looking at some easy style drawings like Teen Titans or other cartoon network characters.

To be honest, there's not one part of that drawing that looks 'human'. It's stylised, and if that's the only style you want to work in (though I think you should start off drawing from life and learning anatomy before progressing to manga style - it has a strong basis from life) then just worry about how they draw noses in your style.

I find drawing circles helps me out .. one big circle in the middle and two smaller ones either side then just play around with it till it looks right for the picture im doing
