How to Draw a Nose - Anatomy and Structure

In this tutorial I cover how to draw the structure of the nose and it's anatomy. We look at the nose in 3 groups, the bridge of the nose, ball of the nose, and wings of the nose. The nasal bone, maxilla, lateral cartilage, greater alar cartilage, alar fat, nostrils, septum, glabella.

2:07 - I admire Proko's dedication in breaking his own nose just to prove a point.

I've been an illustration student for three years now and never ever ever ever has anyone explained this correctly to me. Keep in mind 95% of my portfolio consists of portraits (making this very helpful) and I have taken tons of anatomy courses. I'm super excited to apply this to a few old portraits I've done. You're a lovely teacher. Thanks a million ♡

Here I am, 11 years later, and the best, most comprehensive, guide to drawing a nose to ever exist was here the whole time. God bless this video

Hello, i'm Anna, a drawing teacher from Barcelona, Spain. I'm following your videos and I share them with my pupils. They are a good way for them to do drawing homework at home. You are a very good teacher. thank you to share your tutorials with us. xx

I've watch just about every artist there is on YouTube and your videos are by far the most comprehensive and entertaining. I love the way you draw those lines to emphasize and clarify your points. Brilliant!

[ProkoTV]

yes the anatomy drawing is of a European nose. However the concepts apply to all noses, they just have to be tweaked. Any kind of generic "rule" will have to be changed to fit your subject.

I have a feeling that your nose starts to curve up at the connection of lateral cartilage to ball, not at the nasal bone to lateral cartilage. Would be helpful to see a photo. Have you sent it yet?

I love how detailed you are without making it boring! You're a great teacher :')

It's great to see someone putting out some how-to vids with some production quality forethought. Great stuff.

A couple years ago we were in Florence and saw The David. I was amazed at the precision of the sculpture, as were the 100+ people around me. I never understood why Michelangelo, Da Vinci, etc., took such an interest in anatomy until that moment. Your videos both show and explain this better than anything I have ever seen or read.

I am a retired Doctor of Chiropractic with certification in Physical Therapy, and I have never had explanation of anatomy as clear and compelling as you have done. Kudos, with gratitude.

Had your channel opened for MONTHS on my tabs, but I didn't know where to start....
I'm good with eyes structure so I thought, "Hey let's go over to the nose", going over the video I sketched and I'm already better. Are you a wizard?
The pictures you showed at the end, my eyes were already dividing their noses to parts...Off to be a creep now!
So, I'm sure this is the beginning of huge adventure and I should save my thank yous but thank you. Never thought in one video i'd have better understanding....

[tdfoolery]

Each video is complete with information to the aspiring artist and student of drawing. Gee, it makes me have to get into my Gray's Anatomy texts and George Bridgman, Andrew Loomis, Burne Hogarth, etc. Thanks for the art instruction.

I can't believe how much information there is in a seven minute video, this stuff is gold! Now just gotta find the time to absorb it all..

[sunilnarine]

proko master i have to admit that, my eyes are started to see something that i had never seen before, even your face looks creepier especially your nose, after the nose tutorial, looks like i have gained a new power, i m going to use this power for goodness, tq master, now i am going to stare everyones face like you said, you have opened my eyes tq once again master :)

[dragonslayer]

I love how you show how to draw different povs of the nose instead of just straight on. Super helpful.

[MokoPress]

THANK YOU! I've been staring at people's noses trying to figure them out, but never could connect the small nuances of what I'd observed together. It was because I was missing the structure underneath!! This ties it all into something I can practice and study!

[l_m_a_o]

This is like science and art combined!! It’s quite unique tbh!!!!

Instructions unclear, drew The Last Supper.
