The document provides tips for drawing the nose, including measuring the nose length using the eye length as a guide. It emphasizes observing the shapes and angles of the nose using measurements from the eyes to the nose. The most important part of drawing the nose is capturing the shadow underneath, as this shows the form, and building up the values of the shadow until the 3D form of the nose is created. Highlights should also be added with white chalk to help define the shape further.

Drawing the Nose

2. Noses are really all form with the exception of the
lower portion – nostrils and the outside of the nose.

3. All about the VALUES!

4. First look at the
shapes…

5. Use your EYE length to measure how long your nose from the
tear duct.
Make as many measurements as you can. Also use ANGLES – from your corner of your eyes
to your middle of your nose.
How many EYEs across is your nose at the bottom?

6. The shadow under your nose is the most important way to show
the form of the nose.
Really focus on the shape and different values of the shadow.

7. Do NOT
outline! (it
will make
your nose
appear flat)

9. Keep building up value until you create the form of your nose.
Remember to take the line and shade into the value of the
area around your nose.

10. Use lighter values to create the form of the outside of your nose.
Use some white chalk to highlight the lightest areas.
Look for the lines from the edges of the nose to help line up
the lips.
