3 things to keep in mind when drawing realistic noses... 👃
1. Start with simple shapes: Break the nose down into basic shapes forms before adding details.
2. Focus on light and shadow: Noses are defined more by shading than by outlines. Look carefully at where the light and shadows fall.
3. Pay attention to proportions: Observe the width of the nostrils, the shape of the tip and how the nose sits on the face.
