About This Class
Welcome to Drawing a Realistic Nose with Graphite! This class is split in two different sections: in the first part we are going to learn how to sketch noses free hand in four different views in dynamic exercises; in the second part we will focus on how to draw two realistic noses from start to finish using only graphite and blending tools.
This class doesn’t require prior knowledge, because there are secrets that make realistic drawing accessible to anyone. Of course, different artists will have different results depending on their experience, but if you are a totally beginner, this is the opportunity to take your first steps 🙂
In this class you will learn:
- All the materials used for realistic drawings in graphite;
- How to sketch noses in different views;
- How to draw realistic noses from scratch.
By learning how to approach this theme, you will be able to draw noses for your portraits using only graphite.
For this class you will need basically paper, graphite pencils and other tools presented in the Materials video and the attached pdf list file.
Project Instructions
The final project consists in drawing a realistic nose like the ones presented in the class. You can draw the same references I used or choose your own. All the photos I used are available to be downloaded, check them out!
You are allowed to pick one of the views of the first part of the class as your ultimate goal, of course! Maybe you are not that into hyperrealism or you believe the Final Project is too challenging for you now. That’s okay!
As you finish your drawing, don’t forget to share it in the Gallery with us! I will be checking it whenever possible.
Enjoy it!
