探討東西方哲學 理解宇宙的神祕奧祕
Hey, welcome to Proko.
Today we're going over the nose.
We have noses of all shapes and sizes,
but there are things they all have in common.
We should understand these similarities
so that we can solve any nose from any angle.
In the next few minutes,
we'll simplify the nose into its major planes
to understand the perspective from various angles.
Then we will go deeper and explore the anatomy.
And finally, based on the anatomy,
break up the major planes into minor planes.
The major planes
In my portrait drawing classes,
I see a lot of people struggling to get the nose
pointing in the right direction
and to look three-dimensional.
To do this correctly,
it's important to understand the nose as a simplified box.
There are the side planes, the top plane,
and the bottom plane.
As the head turns to the side or up and down,
all the angles and shapes of the nose will change.
This could get really complicated,
and that's why it's so important
to first solve the perspective of the box
and then add the anatomy.
So let's see what happens to the major planes
as the head moves.
From the front view,
the tip of the nose is aligned
with the center line of the face,
and the side planes are the same width.
As the head turns to the side,
the tip of the nose will extend away
from the center line.
Because of foreshortening,
the far side plane will get thinner,
and the closer one will get thicker.
At about three-quarter view,
the further side plane is hidden,
and eventually at side view,
even the top and bottom planes are hidden.
Now let's see what happens
when the head tilts up or down.
Pay attention to the heights
of the top and bottom planes.
From straight on,
you'll generally see a little bit of the bottom plane.
As the head looks up,
the bottom plane gets taller,
and the tip of the nose
will get closer to the eyes.
Eventually,
it will even cover a portion of the eye.
The tendency for many artists
is to lower the tip of the nose.
But if you do that,
then the nose will point
in a different direction
than the rest of the face.
That's just weird.
At a down tilt,
the top of the nose
will extend down from the nostrils.
Remember that the bottom of the middle third
indicates the connection
of the nostrils to the face,
not the tip of the nose.
The Anatomy
Once you establish
the perspective of the nose,
it's time to add some details.
But if you don't understand the anatomy,
it's hard to know what details to put in.
Understanding the anatomy
helps you to design your shapes
to indicate the subtleties of the nose.
The nose is made up of interlocking pieces
of cartilage and fat
attached to the bone of the skull.
Let's group these pieces into three groups.
The bridge,
the ball,
and the wings.
The bridge.
The top half of the bridge
is the nasal bone,
and the lower half
is the lateral cartilage.
The side plane
is a bone called the maxilla.
And at the top,
the nasal bone
connects to the forehead
at the glabella,
which is a keystone-shaped plane
that faces downward.
The edge of the nasal bone
and lateral cartilage
has a thin, sharp ridge
as it transitions to the side plane
and connects to the maxilla.
The lateral cartilage
is pointy
and wedges between
the two pieces
that make up the ball of the nose.
The ball.
Interesting to know
that the ball of the nose
is actually made up
of two pieces of cartilage
called the greater alar cartilage.
Sometimes you will see
the separation
between these two pieces,
and sometimes
it will be too soft to see.
These two pieces together
make a rounded form
that hooks in under itself
at the septum.
And you will typically see a bump
where it connects to the skull
inside the nostrils.
The wings.
Finally,
on the sides of the ball,
there are two wings
made of fatty tissue.
These wings
also hook around and under.
Viewed from the bottom,
they connect to the face
further back than the septum
because of the roundness
of the tooth cylinder.
The fact that the septum and wings
hook into the inside of the nose
is important
to avoid drawing a cartoony nose.
These are two common mistakes.
The first
is just a two-dimensional outline
of the nose.
The second
is focused only on the holes
of the nostrils
and lacks any volume
of the wings and septum.
By focusing on the volumes
as they wrap underneath
and into the nostrils,
will make your drawing
look much more three-dimensional.
The minor planes.
You should memorize
the subtle plane changes
in all the different parts of the nose.
These plane changes
are usually seen
as subtle shapes
and edge variations,
which to the untrained eye
appear to be kind of random
and unclear.
Once familiar
with the minor planes,
you can easily identify them
and make them more clear
in your drawing.
This gives your drawing
a better sense of
three-dimensional form,
and this applies to anything,
not just the nose.
The minor planes
are basically a simplified
and geometric version
of the anatomy.
So let's take a look
at the minor planes
of the bridge.
The top plane
of the nasal bone
faces upward
and then slightly more downward
at the lateral cartilage.
From the side,
you can see this slight angle change
from the nasal bone
to the cartilage.
The connection
between the bone and cartilage
is usually the widest part
of the bridge.
The minor planes of the ball.
The ball of the nose
actually isn't a perfectly smooth ball,
but has very distinct plane changes.
It has a top,
front,
and bottom plane
as the septum curls under itself
and connects to the skull.
The side plane
acts as a step down
to the nostril.
It's also important
to indicate the thickness
of the septum.
The minor planes of the wings.
The wings curl
into the nostrils
similar to the septum,
so they each have
a wide top plane
and a thin side plane.
The wings are not paper thin,
so an indication
of the front planes
is crucial
to give them some thickness.
The shape of the nose
varies a lot
from person to person.
It can be soft,
chiseled,
wide and bulbous,
thin and pointy,
and so on.
Next time you're in public,
be a creeper
and observe
people's nose shapes.
