How To Draw Cartoon Noses - Tutorial PDF
For a long time, I kept drawing the same tiny “potato” cartoon nose. And honestly? There’s nothing wrong with that, I still use it all the time, because it’s simple and universal.
But once I started paying attention to noses, I realised how many fun and expressive shapes you can create without making things complicated.
This PDF is designed for that exact step. When you want a bit more variety, but don’t want to drown in anatomy or academic rules.
I focus on simple systems that get results fast, so you can start drawing better cartoon noses right away.
In this beginner-friendly cartoon drawing tutorial, we’ll break down how to draw cartoon noses using three simple nose types, and explore the basic nose structure. Just enough to help you exaggerate features and design fun, expressive cartoon noses.
✨You’ll learn:
- The 3 main nose types (upturned, straight, downturned)
- The basic structure of the nose (so you know what you can exaggerate)
- Nose stylization (simple vs. more detailed cartoon noses)
- Easy exaggeration techniques (for more interesting designs)
No academic anatomy, just what actually works for a cartoony style.
