If you always wanted to draw beautiful & stylized noses and portraits from reference and imagination, then this course is exactly what you're looking for.
In this course, you're going to learn a powerful systematic method for constructing the nose that will allow you to draw any nose type, from any angle, even if you're a complete beginner.
By far, the most common mistake artists make when drawing noses is they simply don't understand its structure. So they just resort to copying the outline of what they see which results in flat and cartoonist noses.
Well, in this course, we're going to fix that once and for all by demystifying the structure and anatomy of the nose. First, you'll learn how to simplify any nose into its most basic form. Then you'll learn how to layer on anatomical rhythm lines that will instantly inject your nose with a sense of realism. Just these two steps alone will be a game changer to your nose drawing skills because it'll allow you to approach the nose from any angle and quickly establish a 3-dimensional structure that you can then build the details on top of. You'll never again have to stare at a blank page and be overwhelmed, not knowing what to do. Once we have the basic structure established, you'll learn how to use the planes of the nose to make your drawing even more realistic. Understanding the planes, is the secret sauce to being able to shade the nose at a high level. To help you put all this into practice, we're going to do a bunch of drawing exercises with different nose types, lighting conditions, and camera angles. We'll use tracing exercises to teach you how to look at a nose and be able to see its underlining structure and planes. Then I'll show you step-by-step how to translate that information into a beautiful drawing, from the initial layer to a finished rendering. The drawing demonstrations will be done digitally, but all the concepts and techniques will work regardless of the software or medium you're using. So even if you're using traditional pencil and paper, you'll be able to follow along with everything we're doing. Once you're comfortable drawing and shading noses from observation, I'll show you how to apply the concepts you've learned to draw stylized and exaggerated noses. This is where it'll get really fun because you'll get to be creative and design interesting character types. You're not just copying the reference anymore, but making it your own. And lastly, you'll discover how to easily draw noses from your imagination. Being able to draw from imagination is an extremely important skill but it's one that so many artists struggle with. And the beauty of this constructive drawing method that you're going to learn is that it trains you to draw from imagination from the very beginning. Once you understand the structure of the nose, you'll be able to construct and manipulate it in any way you want. I hope you're excited to take your portrait drawing skills to the next level and I'll see you on the inside.
