The nose knows. I did this drawing in class, while discussing the structure of the nose. You may find the first 2 parts of this series about painting facial features, in which I demoed drawing and painting the eye, here at Part 1, and Part 2. This was one of several reference photos that I presented to my class. Key points to look for: Click Read More to see the rest of the post. ~The width of the nose compared to the length. ~Look for the ball on the end of the nose. ~Notice the nostrils are not circle shaped but more tear drop. ~Look for the bump most people have on the bridge of the nose where the bone ends and cartilage begins. ~The cast shadow will help describe the shape of the nose and the shape of the cheek so pay careful attention to it. A fun video to watch is Proko.com's, How to Draw a Nose Step-By-Step. I worked from my premixed flesh color palette. To see the post about mixing these color strings see my post, How to Draw and Paint Facial Features Part 2. I transferred the drawing onto the toned panel, then I went over the drawing using a permanent sepia pen. I then worked from dark to light and background to foreground. I decided that the shadows were warm and the highlights were cool. Key points: ~Soften edges by painting adjacent wet areas in one sitting. ~Think of the planes of the nose. Moving from left to right they are: the cheek, left side of nose, top, right side of the nose, and cheek. ~Allow most of your brush strokes to move across the form rather along the form to better describe the dimensionality of the form. ~Use a warm dark color mixture on the nostrils avoiding blue. I like a combination burnt umber, permanent matter deep and transparent oxide orange. If I wanted to refine it more I could keep working as long as the paint was wet. Then let it dry for a couple days and do a second pass. Thanks for playing, see you next time when we take a lick at lips.
I brushed up John's new P-40 model for, well, selfish reasons. I'd like to get it into the DAW planeset. I had a bunch of texture mapping alignment problems to fix, a couple of R/S issues and I added 3D landing gear struts as well as a middle antennae wire:It needs a little tender loving c...
