Beauty injections today can safely be called almost omnipotent. They will tighten the oval of the face, and smooth wrinkles, and bring the nose to perfection, if necessary. To correct the latter, a special term was even introduced in cosmetology - injection rhinoplasty. “Two types of fillers are responsible for non-surgical transformation here - based on hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite,” says Anna Novikova, cosmetologist, dermatovenereologist at the TORI aesthetic medicine clinic. - Both of them give the nose the intended shape after the first procedure: you can hide the hump, lift the tip or change the width of the bridge of the nose. Hydroxyapatite fillers are slightly denser than hyaluronic ones, and therefore will last a little longer - up to a year and a half instead of a year.
Preparations with “hyaluronic acid” have important advantage. If there are doubts about the result, you can correct the situation by introducing an antidote - hyaluronidase, which will immediately dissolve the filler. Other drugs do not have such a possibility of post-procedural correction.
“In any case, which composition is suitable for a particular patient, the doctor always decides during the initial examination,” says Anna Novikova. — The procedure lasts about an hour and can be performed either under anesthesia or without it. Local swelling after the procedure is possible, but there should not be increased swelling under the eyes, since hyaluronic acid is injected exclusively into the nose area.”
Risks of injection rhinoplasty
Unfortunately, the possibilities of fillers in nose correction are not limitless. Otherwise everything would be too simple. Firstly, at the first appointment, the doctor must evaluate the characteristics of all tissues of the nose, including the skin.
“For very thin skin, the injected filler can be contoured,” warns Anna Novikova from TORI. “Therefore, it is very important to select the correct filler density and inject it into those anatomical zones where it will lie smoothly.” In addition, with contour plastic surgery, they are of great importance correct technique introductions and excellent knowledge of anatomy. “If you get into the central vessel or inject a very large volume of the drug, then such actions can cause serious complications: disruption of blood supply, and sometimes even tissue necrosis,” continues Anna Novikova. “I mainly work with a cannula, it is less traumatic, so serious vascular disorders in patients after the procedure are excluded.”
If a mistake was made, the consequences in the form of ischemia will manifest themselves within 1-2 hours: the skin will turn pale and sensitivity will decrease. Timely medical measures will help to avoid necrosis - removing the filler and increasing the blood supply. But if you miss the moment, only surgery can correct the situation.
Let us immediately make a reservation that in certified medical clinics, where certified licensed specialists work, such stories are rare.
When should you cancel the procedure?
And in a serious center there are reasons for refusing the procedure. For example, injections will not be able to radically change the shape of the nose or correct serious defects (deviated septum). Why?
- Firstly, the stronger the deformation, the more drug will need to be administered, and this already threatens the complications that we discussed above.
- And secondly, injection rhinoplasty solves aesthetic issues. If irregular shape nose is associated with respiratory dysfunction, only a plastic surgeon can help!
Injection rhinoplasty bonus
The fillers used in rhinoplasty are no different from those for the facial area. During the correction of the nose, a small amount of the drug is injected.
If desired, and on the recommendation of a doctor, you can use the remaining filler to correct other parts of the face.
“The patient may indeed require complex contour plastic surgery, for example, when it is necessary to strengthen the middle third of the face, restore the volume of the cheeks, or smooth out wrinkles in the outer eye area,” confirms Anna Novikova. “All this will work to improve the overall perception of the face, it will look younger.” Whether such a procedure will be included in the cost of non-surgical rhinoplasty or will be paid additionally depends on the clinic.
Surgical rhinoplasty
Correcting the nose with a scalpel is a more serious task. Here, anesthesia is general, and the rehabilitation period is longer. But in surgical rhinoplasty, unlike injection rhinoplasty, you can shape any shape of the nose, and at the same time solve problems with respiratory function and correct ENT pathologies.
Young girls are increasingly becoming patients of plastic surgeons. But when planning rhinoplasty, there is one unshakable rule: before the age of 19, you should not go under the knife - before this age, a person’s facial skeleton has not yet formed. But there is no upper limit.
“There are two types of rhinoplasty - open and closed,” explains Andrey Kashmanov, Ph.D., plastic surgeon, leading specialist in rhinoplasty at the Beauty-Trend clinic. “When closed, the incision is hidden inside the wings of the nose, and when open, an additional suture is made on the collumela (skin between the nostrils).” The patient does not need to delve into such subtleties; the main thing he should know is that both options leave virtually no trace after healing. “In my opinion, the advantages of open rhinoplasty are undeniable,” continues Dr. Kashmanov. “It is used, for example, in cases where you need to beautifully correct the tip, otherwise it is impossible to guarantee its symmetry, and therefore the ideal shape of the nose. All world rhinoplasts work "in the open". Closed rhinoplasty has a more limited use.”
Rhinoplasty can last 1.5-4 hours. This time includes anesthesia. It all depends on the scope of work and whether it is a primary or secondary operation.
For any type of rhinoplasty, non-absorbable threads are used. Their opposition - absorbable suture material - is used only for subcutaneous work, for example, in muscles. “But they are not applied to the skin, otherwise the scar may not turn out as beautiful and invisible as intended,” notes Andrey Kashmanov.
How to choose a nose shape?
A modern, technology-savvy patient wants not just to know, but to see what his future nose will look like after surgery. That's why some surgeons often rely on 3D computer modeling to look into the future. Although here the camp of specialists is divided. “Until now, many surgeons do not model at all, verbally pronouncing the shape of the future nose,” says Andrey Kashmanov. — Other doctors draw by hand. In fact, what is important is not the form in which the future nose is modeled, but the mutual understanding between the doctor and the patient. If all the nuances are specified, then no one will have any complaints about the new nose.
Some patients believe that they can point a finger at any celebrity and say: “I want it like hers.” But with any competent plastic surgeon, such a trick will not work.
“When choosing the shape of the nose, it is better to focus on individual characteristics the facial structure of each patient, and not on trends, warns the leading plastic surgeon of the Beauty Time clinic, Otari Gogiberidze. “I recently had a patient from the North Caucasus, whose doctor, given her type of appearance, gave her an absolutely Slavic nose. As beautiful as that nose was on its own, it didn't suit her. She turned to us for an alteration: we lowered the tip lower, raised raise your back, resulting in a harmonious image.
What if you have to redo it?
Alterations in rhinoplasty, unfortunately, are common. The reasons may be different: you came across a would-be surgeon who improved the “façade”, but it became more difficult to breathe; your sense of beauty did not coincide, and it’s better to have the “old snob” than the new upturned “button”; and sometimes the patient just wants a new nose again. Although with the latter case, plastic surgeons recommend first running as fast as you can to a psychologist.
“Today, rhinoplasty on a “virgin” nose is very rare,” admits Otari Gogiberidze. “We carry out up to 10 such corrective operations a week, and within a month we may not encounter a single previously unoperated nose. This happens when patients save or trust too much advertising photo"before" and "after", without bothering to look for recommendations or reviews on the Internet. And in the end they get poor quality work.
You can start working on the mistakes a year after the unsuccessful operation. Although the more time passes, the better. But you can’t make adjustments ad infinitum. The maximum allowed number of operations is 3−4.
Otherwise, there may be serious disturbances in the nutrition of soft tissues, which threatens the appearance of scars and necrosis. It is better to immediately spend time studying the market and finding professionals in their field, than to do the same thing later, but in the company of an unsuccessfully operated nose.
By the way, a plastic surgeon can not only trim off the excess, but also add what is missing. Thus, in nose enlargement operations (there are such operations), a person’s own cartilage is used, taken from the septum, costal cartilages and auricles.
Should I take off my glasses?
There is an opinion that you should not wear glasses after rhinoplasty. In general, this is the case; for a month, it really makes sense to go without frames on your nose until the rehabilitation period is over. But then it’s a matter of taste. Yes, the frame can indeed leave a temporary dent, but only due to slight swelling of the tissue. But once you remove them, the marks will disappear in half an hour.
In general, today everyone can become the owner of a beautiful nose. It all depends on desire and capabilities. If you want to “try on” a new form only for a while, then you can start with injections - quickly, without bruises and swelling, relatively affordable, and easy to fix if you don’t like something. If you decide that the new nose will last “forever and ever,” then you will have to fork out money and measure seven times before cutting it off once. The main thing is that your future nose should live in harmony with your face, and not with trends.

Often, when pronouncing this or that phraseological unit out loud, we imagine a picture that is very far from its true meaning. This happens with the expression "stay on your toes". I remember other idioms with the word “nose”: “to lead by the nose”, “under the very nose”, the event “on the nose”, “to put on a long nose”.
However, the outstanding part of the human face, which gave rise to the last three phraseological units, has nothing to do with it. In our case, we are not talking about the respiratory organ, but about the “tray” or “nose,” that is, the offering. Who offered it and to whom – let’s try to figure it out.
The meaning of phraseology
Staying with your nose means not getting what you want, not achieving results, fussing in vain, and being deceived. For example, this is what they say about a subordinate who tried to improve relations with his boss, offering various benefits and services, but never achieving the highest favor.
A similar expression is also suitable for an unlucky boyfriend whose attempts at rapprochement are rejected by his chosen one, who is indifferent to flowers and sweets.
As you can see, there is some underlying meaning in this phraseological unit. Firstly, he hints at some kind of hierarchical relationship formed between the petitioner and the donor. Secondly, a barely noticeable negative connotation appears in the meaning of the phrase. Etymology sheds light on his explanation.
Origin of the expression
It turns out that Russian bribery has a long history. In patriarchal Ancient Rus' It was customary for noble nobles, who were approached to resolve any important issue, to bring rich gifts. Simple people They took all kinds of “wealth” from their own household to the bureaucratic Order: various products, homespun linen, wooden and earthenware.
The nobles preferred to bring money. The “price” of the issue increased depending on the complexity of the case under consideration. Minor servants literally lived on such offerings, which significantly increased their modest salaries. High-ranking people built entire palaces at the expense of numerous petitioners.
It was necessary to carefully find out who and what to please. What one official accepted with pleasure could offend another.
For example, the “greyhound puppies” bribes that Gogol’s judge Ammos Fedorovich took were not regarded by the latter as a sin. The catchphrase from the comedy “The Inspector General” has become synonymous with bribes in kind. If the nobleman did not like the gift, it was impossible to count on a successful outcome of the litigation. In such a deplorable case, the petitioner returned with his “nose” back.
A similar fate awaited the suitors after an unsuccessful matchmaking. The guy who did not like the bride’s relatives ingloriously went home along with the gifts he brought and did not accept, that is, he was left with his nose.
Expressions that are similar in meaning
National life is replete with examples of failures and disappointments both in the civil field and on the personal front. In that possible reason the fact that phraseological units have many synonyms. The most eloquent of them vividly characterize the “overflight” situation:
- leave without a slurp;
- stay on the beans;
- pound water in a mortar;
- knocking on a closed door;
These expressions accompany not only losers. They are “rewarded” to honest people who are not equipped to manage their affairs successfully. More enterprising and successful people “get their way” “by skimping or skimming,” which is also not always good. The last two expressions are antonymous in meaning to the phraseological unit under consideration.
Winged expressions can decorate any language and enrich the speech of any person. Many of them were born in such a distant past that the meaning of each individual word in them has simply been lost, and the meaning that is put into them today is often not similar to the original one.
The meaning of phraseology
So, if you need to tell your interlocutor that a person may fail, or not get what he expected, it is appropriate to use the expression “may end up with nothing” in relation to him. The meaning of the phraseological unit implies that hope or expectation for something will not come true.
Let's say, one person or even a whole company has conceived some kind of business. And while the buildup continues, it goes away. It’s just right to say to someone more rationally thinking: “Guys, while we’re talking here, wondering and thinking, someone more efficient will bring this idea to life. How can we not be left with nothing!” The meaning is more than transparent: if we fail, there will be no hope for the expected success.
Grammatically, this phraseological unit is used with a pronoun or noun denoting a person, for example, “my friend was left with a nose - his chosen one refused him.” That is, the friend failed, was left without what he had hoped for, what he had hoped to achieve.
Etymology
Perhaps the most interesting thing about phraseological units is their origin. What does the “nose” have to do with the catchphrase “stay on the nose”? The meaning of the phraseological unit will become completely clear if we delve deeper into its etymology.
The nose as a part of the face does not play any role here, but this element of expression goes back to the verb “WEAR” and represents the nose - what is WEAR, BROUGHT.
There are two very interesting versions of the origin of this phraseological unit.
According to ancient tradition, the groom, wooing a girl, gave her parents a nose - some kind of gift, offering or ransom.
If the guy was not satisfied with something, a refusal followed, and what he presented was not accepted. The groom had no choice but to stay with his nose. Phraseologism arose as a result of refusal.
The second version does not have such a personal meaning, although “nose” is also used as a gift. More likely, even a bribe, which was given to officials in order to speed up the resolution of some matters. If the employee rejected the offering, then the petitioner was left with his nose - there was no hope for help.
Synonyms and antonyms
Every language has established expressions, so to speak, verbal formulas, with the help of which one can diversify speech. How much more lively and interesting it sounds if it is decorated with popular expressions, sayings, and proverbs!
Many of the phraseological units can express a similar meaning, but in a different sound shell. For example, what does it mean to stay with the nose? Its meaning has been established, which can be expressed by other synonymous phrases. Such as “stay on the beans”, “stay at peak interest”, “slurp without salt”. The phrases “to leave empty-handed”, “in vain”, “all in vain” are appropriate.
The meaning of the catchphrase is also conveyed by several “brother” synonyms that have emerged in modern times, which can be used instead of “stay on your toes.” Phraseologism is replaced by idioms “there was a bummer”, “left in the air”, “flew past the cash register”.
The expression “to achieve (to achieve) one’s own” has the opposite meaning. With different expressive shades and in appropriate situations, the catchphrases “resting on your laurels”, “not by washing, but by riding” can take place.
Use of phraseological units in literature
You can leave someone else with the nose, and you can also leave the nose yourself. The meaning of the phraseological unit does not change. In the literature, the expression in both variants is used quite actively. It can be found both in the works of classics and contemporaries.
An interesting observation: very often the heroic grooms are left with the nose. So, F.M. Reshetnikov in the novel “Own Bread,” dedicated to issues of women’s emancipation, talks about one girl. Many suitors approached her and sent matchmakers to her parents. However, the potential bride certainly found some kind of flaw in everyone, refused, and the contenders for her hand were left with nothing.
At A.N. In Tolstoy’s “Mishuk Nalymov,” one character calms down another so that he does not get angry or upset, they say, he, too, is left with his nose - the girl is marrying another.
A similar episode is described by V. Shukshin: as many as four flirted with a classmate, but all four were left with their noses - she preferred a completely unrelated young man.
Using phraseological units in colloquial speech
As a rule, popular expressions are readily used in ordinary conversations. After all, there are so many opportunities to utter this phrase - “stay on your toes.” The meaning of a phraseological unit allows you to succinctly and succinctly characterize this or that unpleasant situation.
The boss promised to increase the salary next month, and left him with his nose.
The official decided to refuse to consider the complaint, and the complainant also “flew past the cash desk.”
It's step-by-step lesson on drawing a nose from the front. Below is a diagram of the nose, which is represented as the sum of the bridge, nostrils and tip. This division makes drawing the nose easier! First we will limit ourselves simple forms as a constructor for constructing the shape of the nose and creating symmetry.
In this tutorial I will use the following materials:
Mechanical pencil (0.5 HB leads);
- kneaded eraser;
- growth;
- Bristol paper (for example, Canson), its smooth side.
How to draw a person's nose
Step 1:
Draw a ball (this will be the tip of the nose) and two adjacent curved lines on each side (the bridge of the nose). Draw with barely noticeable strokes so that they can be erased unnoticeably later.
Step 2:
Draw a horizontal line through the center of the circle and draw a diamond-like shape around it to draw the wings of the nose.
Step 3:
Darken the outside of the bridge of the nose and around the inside of the circle; you will get an elongated letter U. You see that at the top of the bridge of the nose the shadow is wider - there the bridge of the nose goes into the protrusion of the skull where the eyebrows are. Don't despair if the previously marked lines are still visible - they will disappear with further darkening.
Step 4:
Draw the nostrils based on the outline of the “diamond”. Now it looks like the real thing!
Step 5:
Darken the nostrils and be sure to leave areas exposed to light unpainted.
Step 6:
Highlight the bridge of the nose and the tip of the nose. You can put shadows around the top of the circle to make the nose appear pointed, or darken the center if you want to create a flattened nose. Using an eraser, correct the overly dark areas and those lines that you want to highlight with light.
Step 7 (final):
Next, you will need a feathering brush to create soft transitions between the shading of the skin. Add adjustments and go over the highlighted areas with the kneaded eraser again. You can experiment with the shapes and sizes of the circle and diamonds when drawing different noses. Also practice your shading skills to draw longer, flatter, and more expressive noses. you can see how to draw a nose from other angles.

This time we are learning to draw a nose.
1. Let's start drawing the nose with simple markings
Every person has a nose unique features, therefore, it is impossible to give precise advice on how to draw the nose of a girl, child or man. You can only make an abstract or, as they say, “academic” drawing of the nose. This is exactly the version of the nose drawing that I suggest you draw with me.
I hope there is no need to explain how to draw these two lines.
2. Contours of the “wings” and bridge of the nose
The human nose has “wings” and a bridge of the nose, and it is their contours that need to be drawn in this step. The segment of the width of the “wing” in my drawing is equal to exactly half of the perpendicular line from the beginning of their intersection. You need to draw the nose carefully, accurately observing the proportions.
3. The nose pattern takes on a real shape
After precise preliminary marking of the nose drawing, drawing the nose correctly and beautifully will be easy. You can see for yourself that it’s not difficult to draw anymore. Outline the streamlined shapes of the wings of the nose. Draw two lines from the bridge of the nose and draw the tip of the nose.
4. How to draw a nose. The drawing is almost ready
At this step, remove the extra contour lines, and you will get a real academic nose; all that remains is to draw a few small details.
Get ready to have to adjust the shape of the nose in the drawing several times. Drawing a nose is not difficult, but the slightest inaccuracy leads to the nose becoming “plump” like Santa Claus or thin and skinny like Baba Yaga.
5. How to draw a voluminous nose
This stage of drawing and the next one will consist of only one thing. Must be applied to the drawing softly with a simple pencil shadows to make the nose look voluminous, like in a painting by real artists.
6. How to draw a person's nose. Final step
How to draw a nose, at the beginning of the drawing of a person’s face or at the end? Usually, when drawing a nose at the end of a lesson, the nose turns out to be distorted, either too small or, on the contrary, large. The eyes and nose are the most important elements of drawing a person's face, so it is better to start drawing with them. You can correct the chin, ears and even lips, but if you didn’t “get it right” with the nose and eyes, the person’s portrait will not look like anything.
As an example, we will use the so-called Nubian nose - long and wide at the base.
Let's start with the proportions of the nose. They are shown in the first picture. The ratio between the height and width of the nose should be approximately 1.5:1. Let's draw approximate boundaries within which it will be located. You don’t have to make the lines so bold so that it doesn’t look like it’s in a frame. Just a couple of light strokes are enough to make it clear, or just imagine it in your mind.
Let's draw a curve in the bottom middle - the base of the nose. And two small crinkles at the edges for the nostrils. Of course, each person has different noses (thicker, wider, narrower, longer), so you shouldn’t limit yourself in choosing these parameters.
Now we draw the contours of the nose, the so-called “wings” on the sides. Make them curved at the bottom and fairly flat towards the top. Their size should fill a little less than a third of the entire length of the nose.
Lightly apply the main lines in the center, as well as the lines where the nose meets the face. It is difficult to copy from a photo, because in reality there are no clear contours, so you need to learn the basic techniques for drawing a nose with a pencil.
Applying darkening in those places where clear lines are not visible will help solve this problem. Start adding shadows in those places as shown in the following pictures:
Fill the nose holes with black, starting from the top corner. Then draw two small lines below the nasal wings to create the effect smooth transition to the lips.
Now carefully add shadows to the edges of the nasal wings and the tip of the nose, as well as a small area below the wing of the nose.
Our nose is ready:
How to draw a person's nose
Any drawing begins with a sketch on paper. I sketch a human nose with a pencil - these are just a few lines in order to correctly position the drawing on the paper and see the contours of the nose.
After I made a sketch in the lesson on how to draw a nose, I need to indicate the shadows, without which the drawing would be flat and not beautiful. Shadows add volume, and when I draw a shadow, I always use light shading, it makes the shadows soft and the drawing more pleasing to the eye.
The sketch is ready, the shadows are indicated, and I begin the detailed drawing of the nose. I erase the unnecessary details of the sketch and draw the contours more clearly. I also draw the darkest part of the drawing - the nostril. For more detailed drawing of the nose, I use light pencils marked H, and a dark pencil 3B for the nostril.
The next step is to begin drawing the transitions between the shadows. I detail the drawing, displaying the transitions of light and shadow, in other words, I soften the drawing.
The drawing of the human nose is ready, but to make it look even more beautiful, I will draw a few more shadows around it - shadows above the lips and near the eyes.
HOW TO DRAW A NOSE?
Take a ruler or by hand (if your hand is well trained, of course) draw an even shape as shown in the first picture. Color the bottom a little with a pencil and then give it the desired look.
Draw the same as in the first one, but only shade the bottom and right side.
This stage of drawing the nose in profile, we do everything that was in the first stages.
Let's start with the planes. The volume of the nose, as we already know, can be determined in a pyramid (or, in other words, a prism).
It makes it very easy to understand proportions. So, we have a pyramid. The structure of the nose, like the eyes, has general structure- all sorts of bones, muscles, cartilage. Now let’s look point by point at what to do next:
First, we check, verify, and calculate the basic proportional values.
Then we define general shape, its dimensions, so to speak: length, height, width.
Now let's start marking the brow ridge, the length of the nose prism, its width in the area of the bridge of the nose, wings, the front plane with the tip of the nose and the bridge of the nose itself. All this can be done using the already studied and such useful design points. They are located symmetrically to the axis of symmetry, which divides the nose into two equal halves. These points are paired and are located in the following places: points on the upper surface of the nose are located at the level of the bridge of the nose and the tip of the nose, points on the lateral surface - at the level of the inner edges of the lacrimals and the corners of the edges of the wings of the nose.
Simplified nose shape
If you bypass the enumeration of all the cartilage and simplify the shape of the nose, changing it only slightly to achieve the level of “liveliness,” you will end up with something like this:
After all, since the nose is a living form, we do not have to study its entire structure - we are not doctors. The form that is covered is enough for us skin. But, nevertheless, it is up to you to choose how you want to depict your nose - easier or more difficult. For greater clarity, look at your own nose in the mirror. See? The muscles are well distinguished over large cartilages that look like droplets, the tip of the nose is enveloped in them and then they flow down the lateral cartilages.
The cartilages of the wings are arranged according to a similar system - they look like smaller drops that seem to go under the big ones. But, this living form can also be enclosed in a plane - in the lateral, lower and upper ones - and chiaroscuro can be applied on the plane. Everything else is known in comparison, after you get enough hand in drawing a wide variety of noses, spouts and wear
Most importantly, don't forget about proportions and perspective distortion.

A special part of drawing is the nose, which is often overlooked by portrait painters. Although this shouldn't happen! If your nose doesn't work out at all, then the whole portrait will suffer. Therefore, we will learn to draw a nose! Three images of a nose |
|
The image in front of you is a regular sketch of a nose. The nose has completely simple shapes: both lines running along the entire length of the nose, a rounded ball that indicates the type of nostrils and nose. |
|
This drawing indicates the initial sketch of the nose, with shadows applied to it. |
|
Here is a completely finished illustration of the nose. In this drawing, the sketch is no longer visible. Here you can notice that the features of the nose are no longer filled with sharp lines, but with shadow. |
|
The illustration above indicates the structure of the nose using red lines. To adjust the appearance of the nose, we raise and lower our red lines. Below in blue color shows how you can draw a shadow that will be located directly under the end of the nose. Occasionally the shadow will be heavier and sometimes a little lighter and softer, but most of the time when lit it will be exactly as shown. |
|
Of course, it is clear that there cannot be much shadow on the side of the nose or on the side of the bridge of the nose, which is more illuminated. In order to avoid making the mistake that beginners most often make, you should not highlight the entire contour of the nose on both sides. This is not beneficial because the outline makes the portrait look completely unrealistic. So it’s better to draw the outline of the nose using shadows. |
|
When you draw or shade around the nose, try to apply less pressure with your pen or hand, because... they require light pressure. These three areas are shown in the figure. If you are drawing a theme that does not contain many sharp shadow transitions on the face, then you should not draw these features too much. In normal cases, you can simply shade it slightly. For example, as shown above. 1) The area marked in blue has an almost invisible shadow and shows the nose from the side. Here the area near the edge of the eye and the area where the invisible “ball” at the nose is located are shaded. Typically where the highlighted side of the nose is, few portraits allow for a little more shading, but not much anyway. When shading, special attention should be paid to the bridge of the nose. In order to ensure the proper illusion of size and depth of the nose, it is usually necessary to shade and highlight the details of the nose in the dark side area, as shown on the left side of this picture. 2) A further area, when working with which you need to press lightly when drawing - the “smile line” highlighted in the image green. This line is usually called the nasolabial fold. In this image you can see a slight smile effect. Imperceptibly downwards, the strokes first weaken and then completely disappear. There are types of faces whose “smile line” is much darker and longer. 3) On the surface of the skin, on the upper lip, from the area of the line located in the middle, a labial groove emanates, which joins the protrusion of the upper lip. In the figure, the groove is indicated in red and is also applied with light strokes. |
|
You also cannot ignore the white areas near the nose, which are shown in the picture above. As the highlighted image aptly points out, the areas near where the nostrils begin are not delineated in many cases. The pattern will look much rougher if you highlight the entire base of the nose (under the nostrils). Let's pay attention to the area on the side of the nose, located between the beginning of the “smile line” and the nostrils. You don't have to place the "smile lines" directly next to the nostril. Some people have a gap between the nostrils and the smile line. Pay attention to this nuance when you begin to depict the area near the nose. In this picture, the space is slightly increased. By paying attention to the various typical characteristics of faces, you will notice this space. |
|
This figure shows the nose in projection at an angle. If our portrait, instead of the front view, is depicted in a projection, then the nose is also in the same projection, and that means it will look at a slight angle. In the picture you can notice a purple line that is located in the very center of the face. To the left of the purple line is a section of the nose sketched with red lines. On the other side of this line there is a blue shading that indicates the nostril areas. In this case, the nose is drawn turned, and does not look symmetrical at all on either side. Green color indicates that the edge of the nostril lives approximately on the same line on which the corner of the inside of the eye is located. Likewise, when viewed from the front, they will be located on the same line. I used an orange line to indicate how the edge of the nostril should be drawn in relation to the center of the mouth. Although different people have different nose or mouth shapes, they are generally depicted this way. The girl depicted in the picture does not have a very large or very wide nose, however, we will apply the “line method” to her. Those who are just starting to master drawing techniques depict their noses as too narrow. To achieve a successful nose width, pay special attention to this. |
|
Look at the purple nose. This indicates how far away it is from the face. Don't be afraid to draw it. Feel free to experiment with your nose, but don't change its length too much. Keep in mind that if the noses you draw are the same length, they will look completely unrealistic. Since people have different faces, their noses should also be different. Depict them as closely as possible to the original. The proportions of your nose must be respected. As you can see from the two red and two purple lines above, the length is not that much greater than the width. Not everyone has the same size. However, some of the artists draw the nose either too long or very short. Mainly, your portrait should be realistic. |

Draw a nose with a pencil, step by step: 1) First, draw a sketch of the nose. The lines on the sides of the nose should not be darkened. One side is usually shaded more than the other. 2) Now you need to shade the base of the nose and its side that lives in the shadow. Mark the nostrils in the drawing. Next you need to shade the nostril that is in the shadow. 3) Finish shading the nose. Using soft shading, we highlight the areas of the roundness of the nostrils and the area of the “ball” of the nose. |
Drawing the nose from the front view
Let's look at how to draw a nose with a pencil, step by step.
- The first thing you need to decide is what kind of nose you want to draw. There are many types, sizes, shapes and even designs of the human nose.
- First try to draw the nose that you are looking at from the front. Draw a two-dimensional triangle or a figure similar to a pyramid.
- This sketch shows the third stage. Draw more clearly the lines of the bridge of the nose, and also sketch out the nostrils and the tip of the nose.
- When the sketch is ready, look carefully at the drawing again. Erase all unnecessary lines, and also decide on the size of the nose. Apply the desired shadows to the nostrils, eye sockets and a little on the bridge of the nose. Your nose will look incredible.
Drawing the nose from the side view
Now let's try to figure out how to draw a person's nose, viewed from the side.
- In order to draw a nose from the side or if you want to depict a person's face in motion, you need to start with the following. Draw the shape of a half diamond, as shown in the figure, and then move on to the sixth point.
- The nose that we are trying to draw turns out to be straight and rough, more suitable for men or women with large facial features. Draw a thicker line on the bridge of the nose, smooth out the corners at the tip and depict a nostril.
Suggested supplies: 2H, HB, and 2B pencils; erasers; high quality drawing paper.
Introduction
Adult noses come in different sizes and shapes. When you draw a face, you should look closely at the nose to determine the shapes of the individual parts. Look at the examples:
Before drawing, familiarize yourself with the structure of the nose:
1. The bridge of the nose (nasal bone) is the part of the nose where the bone connects to the cartilage. In children it is barely visible, but in adults it protrudes forward. The outline of the shape of the bridge of the nose is obvious when we draw the nose in profile.
2. The tip of the nose is the largest round area at the bottom of the nose. It is not necessarily spherical, but can also have an oval, triangular or rectangular (with rounded corners) shape.
3. The wings of the nose are the two soft, rounded (usually triangular) parts of the nose that are located on either side of the tip.
4. Nostrils – openings at the bottom of the nose.
5. Nasal septum - the area between the nostrils, connects to the lower part of the face above the upper lip.
There are 3 main nose shapes:
Snub nose - turned up and the tip of the nose is located above the wings.
Straight nose - both the tip and the nostrils are at the same level
Downward curved nose - the tip of the nose is below the wings.
Establishing proportions
When you draw the front view of a nose, 3 main circles are visible, the tip of the nose and two wings. To accurately establish the proportions of the nose, first sketch out the placement and size of the nose in relation to the face. Then visually measure the linear relationship of each part to the nose, and draw a sketch accordingly. Sketch the proportions typical type in profile of the three main types of nose.
1) Draw a large circle as the tip of the nose.
Leave enough space on the sides for the wings. Use a 2H pencil, do not press too hard to avoid damaging the paper. The lines have been darkened in the image so you can see them. In fact, they are barely visible.
2) Draw two curved lines above each circle to indicate the width of the bridge of the nose.
3) Add two smaller circles on each side (these are the wings of the nose), which partially overlap the larger circle.
The ideal nose is a subjective concept that differs depending on culture or race. One person's ideal may be completely different from another's.
When drawing an adult's nose, remember that men's noses are usually proportionately longer and larger than women's.
4) Using an eraser, lighten the lines until they are barely visible. The proportions are established, the next step is to correctly outline the shape of the nose.
Outline of forms
At this stage you draw the shape of the nose more accurately. Don't draw directly along the sketch lines; It’s better to carefully study the outlines and draw the shapes more accurately different parts nose according to the anatomical structure.
5) Paying attention to the contours of the circles, draw the shapes of the tip of the nose and wings.
6) If the outline is too dark, lighten it a little with a kneaded eraser.
Shading
The shading of the lower part of the nose corresponds to the shading of three separate circles. When shading the circles, remember that the light source is to the left. The shading of the top is similar to the shading of a round or oval shape.
7) Using a 2H or HB pencil, add strokes of light shades to indicate the shapes of the nose. Since the light comes from the left, the right side is more shadowed. The curved strokes used for shading follow the shape of a circle.
When drawing a nose, try to forget that you are drawing it. Instead, try to focus on labeling different shapes according to light and shadow.
8) Use cross hatching to finish shading the different parts. Use 2H or HB pencils for light colors and 4B for dark ones, you just need to decide where to place the light and shadow. If you use few contrasting shades, the pattern may appear flat. So unless the person has a flattened nose, always use a wide range of shades.
Many people believe that draw nose difficult, especially in profile. Using the basic shapes as a framework will make the drawing process much easier.
List of materials I used in this tutorial:
Mechanical pencil (4B leads, 0.5 mm thickness);
- kneaded eraser;
- growth;
- smooth bristol paper.
How to draw a nose in profile
Step 1:
To draw a nose in profile, you need to start by drawing two circles some distance apart (the width of the same circle). For the next step, I also drew a triangle to give an idea of how and where to draw the bridge of the nose.
Step 2:
Draw a curved arc going up and around the left circle, forming the tip of the nose and bridge of the nose, and another curve forming the philtrum. The groove should not move excessively to the left or right. Draw it approximately in the middle, between the circles.
Step 3:
The nostrils are drawn like a loop. It should not be too long or short. Again, try to draw between the two circles.
Step 4:
At this point you can erase the circles and begin darkening. As you can see, I'm using the circular shading technique in this tutorial. This helps achieve a more realistic looking skin. In my tutorial on shadow distribution, I also talk about several ways to darken things that apply evenly. You can watch it.
Step 5:
Make sure you leave areas that are lit.
Last step:
Here I also darkened some areas and used an eraser to follow the highlighted lines. I also erased some of the reference lines. I used a blender to evenly distribute the shadows around the highlights so the skin didn't look harsh.

The pinnacle of artistic skill is the depiction of a person. Probably because his body has too complex a structure compared to other creatures. It's not easy to draw his appearance. Of course, for most people, the problem is the correct transfer of body proportions, as well as the symmetry of the pattern. But if you delve into the details, the most complex part of the human image is the face. They say that it only seems to us that the human head is symmetrical; in fact, everything is not so. Our eyes are not the same size. One eyebrow may be slightly higher than the other, and the nose is not as symmetrical as it seems. Although it is difficult to notice with the naked eye. In order to learn how to depict a human face, real masters recommend practicing working on its individual elements. This lesson will focus on how to draw a nose.
The importance of each element
There is an opinion that the main attractive detail of the face is the eyes. But this is not entirely true. No matter how beautiful and expressive the eyes may be, a large aquiline nose or a small, inconspicuous nose can easily ruin the overall picture. That is why it is very important to correctly convey all the features. Whatever the face, beautiful or not, nature created it harmonious. And all its parts fit one another. Therefore, if you draw from life, it is extremely important to convey all the details as accurately as possible. And how to draw a person’s nose remains an important point.
Step-by-step technique
Nature created each person unique, and it is impossible to find two completely identical people on the entire Earth. Each of us is original. It is impossible to establish exact rules on how to draw a woman’s or a man’s nose. But there are a number of tips that, if you adhere to, will help you quickly learn how to depict this part of the face.
First of all, draw two strictly perpendicular lines. These will serve as guides during the process. The horizontal line must intersect the vertical line at the bottom. For those who, before drawing a nose, were interested in the anatomy of the human face, it will not be a secret that the main features of this part are the wings and the bridge of the nose. Starting the actual work, you need to outline the contours of these elements. We're currently working on an abstract nose, so it should have correct form and strict proportions. If you make accurate notes from the very beginning, then further work will not be difficult. We outline all the smooth lines of the nose and give it the required form. When the main outline is set, remove all additional strokes using the eraser. Be prepared that you won’t be able to draw the perfect nose on the first try, and you’ll have to erase and re-draw the lines several times. At first glance, everything is simple. But any little thing can spoil the design, and the nose will turn out to be too small or aquiline. So be careful. To give your nose volume, you need to apply shadows. For this we use a soft pencil. So we have determined how to draw a nose correctly.
Of course, this is just a test drawing, but get used to the purity of the image. This means don't put too much pressure on the pencil or rub marks with the eraser. In addition, it is better to take high-quality paper. Make sure it is not glossy. This type of paper is difficult to draw on and almost impossible to tint. And the pencil should not be too hard. Otherwise, all the lines will be light and too thin. These unwritten truths need to be remembered not only to learn how to draw a nose with a pencil - they will be useful when depicting any object.
The million dollar question
Many beginners wonder when it’s time to draw the nose: after the eyes or along with the mouth, or do you need to sketch all parts of the face at the same time and then smoothly shape them? There is no right answer. But it’s better not to draw it at the end, otherwise there is a high probability of distorting the entire face. Professionals recommend drawing the nose and eyes at the same time. Moreover, by their location they serve as landmarks for each other. And mistakes in these parts of the face are too difficult to correct.
Now you know not only how to draw a person’s nose, but also when. But the key to success is most often the possession of information and the development of skills.
How to Draw an Anime Nose
Anime style has its own rules for depicting a nose, and it cannot be said that they are much simpler than in realistic drawing. Basically, the shape of this part of the face can convey the age or gender of the character. Thus, older people usually have their noses drawn in more detail than younger people. The guys are drawn with its sharp shape. And girls get a small, neat nose. Of course, shadows and highlights play an important role. For detailed drawing, use the same type of auxiliary lines: two perpendiculars. Sometimes only the nostrils are depicted. Remember that if something doesn’t work out, then start drawing with the usual geometric shapes and straight lines, and then smoothly give them shape. There is no need to rush and neglect additional touches. The idea that they will bother you is wrong. Their main goal is to give you the necessary guidance. It's the same as writing on a squared page or on a blank album sheet. There is a difference? The checkerboard will allow you to make the inscription even. So the auxiliary lines are designed to ensure that the drawing is correct.
Don't forget to apply shadows. They add volume and realism to the drawing. In addition, they are depicted based on the source of light, and not as it pleases. Often a woman's nose is made slightly noticeable. And sometimes they don’t draw at all. Guys' noses have more defined contours. And if they are not drawn, then at least a shadow is used. Remember that the image of the nose changes with every turn of the head.
Nose and character
There is a science of physiognomy. She studies different nose shapes and their relationship to a person's character. This science can be useful for those who create their own characters and draw comics. Changing the shape of the nose can also be an indicator of certain emotions. Often you want to portray a cheerful person, but you end up with an angry or sad character. Therefore, to the knowledge of how to draw a nose, it would be good to add some information about facial expressions and physiognomy. So much for the relationship between art and psychology.
It’s still interesting to find out such details about yourself ordinary things. For example:
If a person fails, we say “left with a nose.” Why with a nose? In general, we always end up with a nose (except for some extreme situations). However, everything falls into place when it turns out that the problem, in general, is not at all about the nose that is on the face.
In this proverb, the nose is a verbal noun, which is practically no longer used today, from the verb to carry. A person brought an offering (nose) in order to agree on something (with someone). If the nose was accepted, then accordingly, an agreement was made. If not, stay with your nose
Not a single case in the Moscow Orders was complete without gifts. Gifts were perceived by the public consciousness as a way to establish friendly relations with the official on whom the decision on a claim or complaint depended.
The offerings were very varied. The poor man showed up at the order with a dozen eggs, chicken or other simple food. The richer peasant was carrying a piglet. In addition to all kinds of food, the nobles carried money, sometimes quite a round sum if the matter was important. For the most part, people carried natural products in their orders. This corresponded to the state of their wallet and cash items of income. Lower civil servants were supported by such gifts.
One royal steward sent a servant to the order, providing him with the following instructions: “When you come to the clerk, do not enter the mansion, first find out if the clerk is cheerful, and then go in, beat him hard with your forehead and give him the letter, if the clerk receives the letter diligently, then give him three ruble, and promise more, and don’t give the chickens, beer and ham to the clerk himself, but to (his) cook. For proshkin’s business, go to the clerk Styopka Remezov (in the future a famous noble family) ... that damned Styopka took everything into his paws, and don’t ask Styopka on my behalf: I don’t want to honor his vile thief, bring him three altyns of money, dried fish, and wine, and he, Styopka, has a thirsty face and is drunk.”
Communication with officials required a very special skill, which, however, corresponded to certain features of the Russian national character. The ceremony of presenting gifts was an ancient custom of the people. In this case, the main thing was to guess the clerk’s claims, so as not to damage his honor with an inappropriate gift. Meager gifts could be perceived as humiliation of a representative of power. The worst thing was when the clerk or clerk did not take the "nose" - the offering, and thus the petitioner remained with the "nose", that is, with the rejected gift. This was tantamount to refusal, losing the whole case.
Here's the version. Did you know?
