Tutorial 56 - Anatomy of the Nose
🕑 Added 2016-02-26 08:56:03 +0000 UTC Just to expand on yesterday's tutorial, Planes of the Nose, let's have a look under the bonnet, so to speak.Complicated looking structures of bone, cartilage and fatty tissue can be simplified into four main areas.
At the root of the nose, between the eyes, we have the nasal bones (tan colored), which extend down as the bridge to become the lateral cartilages (coloured yellow). Connected are the two alar cartilages, in blue, which run down to become the septum, which is part cartilage, part bone. Finally, we have the two alae (fatty tissue) which make up the shape of the nostril wings.
Get an understanding of these shapes and learn where the highlights appear. Drawing the human body with a little anatomy knowledge helps in a big way. Just having a basic grasp of some of the parts will allow you to draw a map of the human body. You'll visit each part and gain further understanding until you no longer feel lost.

Get to know the nose ;) There'll be more nose stuff in upcoming facial structure tutorials, which is a huuuge subject, so I'll be doing a bunch. Glad you like 'em Robert!
This is a great tut. Hard to find good nose stuff!
