The Nose
Noses can be difficult to draw. In simplified
terms, one can imagine the nose as a cylinder
or cone shape, with a flattened top.
Fig.07 shows a series of noses from different
perspectives. It is important to note the planes
of the nose here, particularly the balled bulge
at the bottom of the nose and the wings of the
nostrils. The wings of the nostrils come out
from the front of the nose and wrap around the
ball to fold back in and reattach to the face.
The final two drawings in Fig.07 give a
clearer view of how the nostrils bulge
out around the ball of the nose.
