Nose Drawing Lesson. After the eyes, nose drawing is the next part we're going to work on. The nose falls between the brow line and the nose line that you created in the first tutorial. Noses come in all different shapes and sizes, and you can add a lot of character to a portrait by exaggerating a nose. Start looking a little closer at the faces you see around you and notice all the different shapes of noses. First I will talk about fitting the nose into your character's head, and then secondly I will talk about creating a really simple cartoon nose drawing. Nose Structure and Proportions: For simplicity, I break the nose into three different parts, the bridge, the ball and the nostrils. The width of the nose at the nostrils is approximately one eye width. With these basic proportions under your belt what's left to do is draw, draw, draw!

Unfortunately he died the following year, so this charcoal portrait is very precious to me. At the time, he was living in a senior’s high-rise, and I’d go over after supper and draw him while he was reading the local newspaper. It was a great way for us to visit, and it provided me with what I considered to be an important model.

Side Note: I still get a little nervous when I draw people from life. Now back to the drawing of my Dad. We did a series of sittings, but I never let my Dad look at anything until I had completed the portrait.

Overall Form and Structure Trees are not flat structures of entwining branches.
Analysing what you see There are, to my mind, three major aspects of a tree that make it what it is. Texture and Shaping These are two major topics that I will return to later. Internal structure Whether you are drawing hair or grass or the boughs of a tree one important point extends to them all — what you start you must finish. Holes and gaps - negative areas Holes through the foliage are a great boon as they enable you to show the far side of the tree and add reality to your drawing.
