To become a good artist, you need to train your hand all the time. Sketches of any objects or certain fragments of human figures should become a kind of exercise. For example, you have a question, how to draw a person's nose beautifully? Feel free to take a pencil and try, the main thing is not to be afraid to make mistakes. Athletes, after all, also train almost every day in order to achieve success. Everywhere you need to make an effort, and often a lot.

If you are just learning the basics of drawing and trying yourself in the portrait genre, perhaps this lesson will help you figure out how to draw a human nose. We will not delve into complex anatomical details, but will try to schematically make this task easier for ourselves.

There are many different techniques and options for how to draw a nose. Each teacher and each art studio will teach you how to draw using their own skills and tips. Today we will use a not very complicated scheme and try to draw a person's nose in full face. If this lesson is easy for you, try sketching from other angles. Change the angle of rotation, make sure that in your drawings you can “read” whose nose it is: male or female.

So, how to draw a nose with a pencil step by step?

1. We will not remind you of pencils and paper here. Let's start drawing. The first step, as always, starts with a sketch. Draw a small circle - this will outline the tip of the future nose.

2. The next step will be the bridge. Draw two vertical lines up. Yes, it doesn't look like a nose. But be patient, soon it will start to emerge.

3. After the bridge of the nose, we move on to the wings of the nose. We outline future nostrils. See, it's better! Even in this form, the nose is easily guessed.

4. At this stage, you need to focus a little. Take a closer look at the drawing, you will see that you need to draw lines from the wings of the nose to the bridge of the nose. We outline the horizontal line of the nostrils - this will be the place of the future glare at the very tip of the nose. We lower the lines of the bridge of the nose to the line of the nostrils and bend slightly in the middle to the base of our original circle. Seems a little confusing, but these lines will help you in the next step. Try to draw everything lightly, barely touching the sheet. Then you will need to erase the extra lines.

5. Now you can move on to creativity. We begin to designate the shadows, without which your drawing will remain flat. Try to work out the academic stroke at 45 degrees and put the strokes close together. This is where the lines that we outlined in the previous step will serve as a kind ofborders.

6. Now you need to erase all the lines that interfere with you, correct the shadows, soften them with your finger or a piece of soft cloth, easily rubbing along the main lines. Don't get too carried away, if you're not sure you're grinding the pencil correctly, skip this step. However, a rubber band can fix everything.

7. Make the shadows a little more contrast, point the nostrils. Correct the bridge. This is the last step in how to draw the nose.

Your nose is done! Now you can show others how to draw a nose.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you that even when drawing individual parts of the face or the whole portrait, try to keep proportions, pay attention to the angle of rotation of the head and, accordingly, the nose, do not forget about chiaroscuro. Practice drawing yourself while looking in the mirror. Good luck with your studies!
