The nose is located on the central axis and is the most high up part of the face. Nose consists of three parts:
(1) the composition of the nose, nasal bone and cartilage;
(2) oval-shaped bulb and the nasal septum below it;
(3) two outward tilt of the nose and the hollow below the nostrils. On the nose, it looks like a parallelogram which is narrow on top and wide at the bottom. In practising, pay attention to changes in these four parts.
First, let’s talk about the bridge of the nose. This part is in the middle of the nose, formed by the bone and the bottom two cartilages. Similar to the standard parallelogram, there are three distinct sides. Note that there are huge changes in the shape and structure, also pay attention to the sense of volume and the key tone. (More tonal work here)
Secondly, the front of the nose which is all formed by the cartilage. The tip (pointy part) of the nose looks like the shape of a sphere, and the nostrils looks like two hemispheres. This section is the highest point of the face portrait, it’s far from the eyes, so we can treat it as a second focus of the face. (carefully depict the characteristics).
Next part is the floor of the nose which is actually the underside of the nose. Since its shape with lighting has a huge contrast with the rest of the nose, so we mark it as a special section to deal with. This part transits from the tip of the nose surface and the formation of the complex structure of the two nostrils, and form a 90 ° angel or even greater. It makes the whole floor darker, forming a clear boundary line of light and shade. With two irregular nostrils, it produces a complex reflection. During practice, you should depict the clear lines between lights and shades based on the actual changes on the nose.

The nose has the richest sense of volume on a face and it makes a face to create a strong light and shade changes. Meaning that, the use of flexible strength of your arm is needed. It can emphasize the role of light and shade, and also highlight the role of structure; for enhancing the tone, but also weaken the shades. With variation of the shape of noses, it is crucial to define ones characteristic first before starting to draft.
