guys stop criticizing a good artist who is spending his time helping us

Value is one of the seven elements of art. It is the darkness or lightness of a color. Value is the correct terminology. Shade refers to darker values. So using "shading" is also acceptable.

I like how it seems like he isn't even shading anything, he just moves his pencil and boom.... it's there. Lol, but for those of you who don't like his vid umm... there are hundreds of other youtube vids on drawing noses, kindly leave this vid and check something else. It's not as if he keeps to date with this vid, it was made in 2010, you're entitled to your opinion yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to voice it. I think he's instruct just fine so if you don't just go.

I followed along exactly and got a similar result! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have struggled with noses for as long as I've been drawing and this makes it plain.

Your teaching is great! The nose makes so much more sense to this new at art person.

This was the best "nose" tutorial I have seen to date. Wow and thank you!

That you for learning me! SUCH A GREAT HELP! My art exam's went up, just for doing the nose so correctly!

Awesome!! That looks so real!

Yes, this was made a long time ago, but to the best of knowledge, noses haven't changed much. With the singular exception of plastic surgery, of course.

This is a very good tutorial. Thank you so much - I have never been able to draw a somewhat realistic nose before!

This helped me so much! Thank you, before this I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, but now I have a sense of what I'm doing this is great😊😊👌👌

Wow, thanks 🙏. You're such an incredible artist and instructor. I can't have enough of watching and listening to your tutorials. Thanks for your brilliance and sharing 💕

I love this channel! So much content. So simple and so well taught. Im a beginner and I am learning so much with the Virtual Instructor.

Thank you. Biggest improvement I have seen in my noses in years.

Awesome! You did a great job! This is first time I've ever drawn a nose this well! Thank you!

I have seen many tutorial...actually everybody showing of more rather than just teaching...I love the way teach

Was never able to draw a nose, nor did I ever had the resources of finding an instructor... Thank you for posting this, how could I have possibly forgotten that KZfaq is a great form of resource nowadays!

HI, thanks a lot for your tutorials. Which number of pencil are you using?.

fuckin noses, hands, and feet are my worst enemies in drawing humans

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

what is that low frequency hum?

what pencil and paper are you using ???

This was a great video on drawing noses. I love your explanation as you are drawing out the nose. Keep up the good work.

Wow! That was a really helpful tutorial. My first attempt came out pretty good. Thank you!

what kind of pencil you used???? and the brand??? :) thanks

I have a question for anyone who knows about value. How do you get that sort of shade where you don't see all the graininess from the pencil where it looks really smooth. I can do it like his fine but I always wanted that smooth look

@D00dleBug03 I am using a General's Layout Pencil. It's the same as a 4B

The key is the value :) great work!

I'm only at minute 1:45 and my nose drawing already looks better that any other I have ever drawn! Thank you!

Thanks for the tips, man!

Thanks a LOT! I've been looking for a video like this! For the first time I drew a good looking nose!

Hey I wonder could someone help, is he using a charcoal pencil or a standard pencil and if so what grade of pencil? I'm using 4H for darker outlines and 2B for shading. It's OK but could be better. Would appreciate any advice.

@thevirtualinstructor does the blending tone vary from the pressure u use one the pencil?? Just asking .... I am a beginner

Very informative. I tried years ago to draw faces, but they never came out close to good. I do appreciate your talent, and may try it again? Thanks!

what pencil is that?

great Tutorial... learned a lot :)

Thanks this was very good. I tried this with both a soft (6B) and charcoal. It may be my paper but I had a harder time with the charcoal though in the end it gave a nicer result. I found I had to rub the charcoal with my finger to get an even tone.

What pencil are you using?

This is really good. I am a beginner so this is really hard. But hopfully i will figure it out soon. You are really good. Subscribed!

Can i ask that what kind of paper people always use to draw portrait? Do they use special paper or just normal print paper?

@Miedema04 I'm using a 4b pencil

Thnx this really helped and don't listen to the haters out there you are really good

Thanks for the website!!

What pencil is that? ²

what is the darkness of your pencil

thank you so much. this is by far the hardest thing for me to draw on the face

What pencil # are you using?

my god i can't believe how much you helped me with my art homework

I tried drawing it but i'm having a hard time keeping up with all the values, is there a specific pencil i need to be using, or any other tips for people just starting out in drawing?

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm bad about how to shade, but you give some good information on how to do it. The space under the nose (what you called the "mustache holder") is called the philtrum or the infranasal depression. :)

would somebody plz tell me what is the pencil he is using ?????/

Great video, thank you!

what grade of pencil?????

you still have to make some part of it lighter in order to make it "pop". unless the drawing doesnt have the nose in any light at all, but then you wouldnt see much of a nose at all.

This was so helpful!! Thank you!!!

That was great. Thanks.

do you have a bumpy paper or something
