How to Draw Different Nose Shapes
In the video “How to Draw Different Nose Shapes” by Jescia Hopper, viewers learn to draw six common nose shapes, including aquiline, hooked, straight, button, upturned, and wide noses. Each type is explained with distinct features:
- Aquiline Nose: Notable for a bump on the bridge and sometimes an upturned tip, it has a standard round ball and proportional nostrils. A dip distinguishes it between the brow and nose, and a slight upturn at the tip.
- Hooked Nose: This nose protrudes outwards along the bridge, resembling a beak. It has oval-shaped nostrils and a curved triangular shape, often taller when viewed from the side.
- Straight Nose: Also known as a Greek nose, it has a very straight profile with gentle slopes and subtle curves, lacking a significant dip in the bridge.
- Button Nose: Characterized by its roundness and small size, the button nose has a less distinct bridge, and the ball of the nose aligns closely with the nostrils.
- Upturned or Snub Nose: This nose type tilts upwards at the tip, revealing more of the nostrils from the front. It typically has a noticeable bump at the nose tip.
- Wide Nose: Defined by a larger ball and wider-set nostrils, the wide nose has a broader and flatter bridge, resulting in lighter shading in this area.
Jescia demonstrates each nose type from both front and side views, focusing on their unique shapes and shading techniques. She emphasizes understanding the anatomy and shape variations to create realistic nose drawings.
