ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Nose

In this lesson, we will learn how to draw an anatomical nose in profile. Start by creating a smooth line that forms the bridge and the curve of the tip, then add a lower line to define the nostril and the wing of the nose. Pay attention to shading to give the nose volume, emphasizing its protruding shape and creating soft shadows underneath it and on the side.
