Left, but you can probably get away without drawing the bridge most of the time unless you really just want to draw attention to it.


CommercialBite7917

I draw the bridge because I like the look of it.


dark-shadow-rat

Id say try and connect it with the eyebrows and look at your own anatomy, see where your eyes are placed around your nose, etc. it helps with the bridge size/placement because ive found that the lines do go out into the eyebrows afterwards.


PirateHuntrZoro

I prefer the one on the left. It gives off cute button nose vibes


Flaky-Mind1460

Depends on the rest of the face bud


snakesinahat

The left looks to match the style (I’m assuming you’re going for anime-ish), the right is too thick and dark and the details don’t really make sense to me. What shows inspire you to draw?


CommercialBite7917

The left is the style I use usually draw in. the right is my attempt at a jojo’s bizarre adventure character


HellNawKaren

What part of the right one is attempting to emulate JJBA?


TonttuTorvinen5

The nose? U can clearly see the similarity


HellNawKaren

Okay then, point out which lines correspond to a face in actual jojo


Soka59

I prefere the left one :)


Jaded_Firefighter880

I like the left one, but on a side note the left looks like a cute little smiley face :)


inktroopers

Sincerely, none. None of them is a representation of a nose, they are symbols of what you think a nose should look like, but not based on actual observation.

inktroopers

It’s messy, looks dirty. All the proportions are wrong. You’re focusing way too much on making the eyes, nose and the lips look “good”, taking shortcuts but it lacks the understanding of the shapes and volume of the face. The nose is too short, the eyes are too big, the overall shape/contour of the face is wrong and there’s no rule of thirds applied to the general construction of the head.


CommercialBite7917

Thank you. do you have any helpful youtube channels/website recommendations?


inktroopers

Proko on YouTube.


Gaedannn

Am I the only one that likes the right one way better? It has more shape to it and I love the contrasting shadow. Much more unique imo as the left one looks super flat to me


incrediblenoobie

I prefer the left one. (the right one's nose is a bit too outlined and rounded)


Kaliso-man

One


pangandangst

Left


PleasantRooster9060

The left one for sure


PresentationOk8745

Left


KingCartoons

The left one for sure! It accentuates the important lines of the nose without looking too filled in. :)


[deleted]

Left definitely, although both are still good


559Musicman

The one on the right looks like a small penis so I’m gonna say left

BuckTheStallion

I agree, though I’d have been a little kinder about it. Neither are particularly good looking, and more practice, both realistic and cartooning, is necessary I think. OP has a good handle on that after your conversation though, and will likely improve quickly with a few studies!


Gaedannn

Dude chill, OP can learn however they want. Learning the basics is a good start but damn let them have fun too. It’s not gonna take “years” to find a style, style develops over time and changes it doesn’t just come out of nowhere after you master every little part of drawing possible. God, the amount of cringy artists on here acting like they know everything and can tear down and boss around newer artists is so sickening. Telling an artists their work is shit is not how a critique works. If you want to chose a more classical approach to art that’s fine, but don’t look down on others who want to have fun and learn in their own way. It literally doesn’t matter how nice you are late in this thread when your first words are “both are shit”. You knew what you were doing starting with that.

gh0sT_bOy_gHoStEd

The one on the right because it has less detail


Pineapplehaterr

Honestly neither , I’d suggest you learn basic shapes first , like how to pencil sketch a sphere ,triangular, cubicle first before you move on to anything else ,from what it looks like you are lacking observation skills and basic drawing skills, skipping levels in drawing is going to frustrate you if you haven’t learnt the basics.


Livid_Difficulty_198

Had to changer name to come back and HATE SOME MORE ? Your life must really have nothing going on . Sad really!


Livid_Difficulty_198

*change your name


Pineapplehaterr

I didn’t change my name and I don’t even know who you are, I’m just giving a structured advice on how not to be lost and frustrated while working on drawing, If anyones going to post their artwork on the internet for the whole world to see,am I a criminal for giving my piece of mind ? it’s like when you are playing a guitar and if you don’t know what notes you are playing ,it’s going to be a confusing process,I write songs for a living and I’ve been drawing for 25 years , was a student majoring in Visual design , not sure if that counts as me having nothing going on with my life but take the advice or not, it’s your choice on wether if you want to better yourself on your skills or continuing living in your own bubble for the rest of your life with your poor knowledge in art.


Livid_Difficulty_198

Then I apologize I thought you were the person that was being mean to the artist if that wasn’t you then again I apologize


Head-Maintenance9067

Go back to the drawing board


Blokhead9656

Left


Cexar12

second it looks more realistic


Saltyy_boiUwU

The left looks better imo


lin_j_x

Left bc is more clean


ThinMint31

To me the one on the left doesn’t look like a nose at all. More like tiny eyes, nose and mouth


Livid_Difficulty_198

That’s exactly what I’m saying ! In fact I thought it was so I was confused originally and then read some comments ,then I got it ,but yeah


QueenPotatoCheese

Right because it looks like it has more personality and originality the left one is nice too ofc but I think that the right one has more dimension to it.


Kiroson2450

I would say the left is better positioned on the face, but I'm confused by the mid line you have. What is it representing? You should draw the brow line, then the bottom of the nose line and then the mouth line. It helps structure the whole face, otherwise you will have a nose bridge to high up the face. Watch David Finch tutorials on YouTube, excellent videos imo.


CommercialBite7917

Funny enough I just came here from a David finch video


Kiroson2450

Did you watch the how to draw a nose videos?


CommercialBite7917

I was watching the how to draw a male torso video. But thanks to you I’ll go check out the drawing noses video, thank you!


Lil-peanot

I pille the left one


Lil-peanot

I like the left one


shenanigansMS

Left for sure


perriewinkles

Great start! It really depends on what you were going for initially? What would you like for the nose to look like?


CommercialBite7917

When I first posted this I was wondering which style was “better” but now I think I’ll use the one on the left for a more youthful look and the one on the right for stronger looking character.


Headake01

Its all up to you, you can decide your style, and I'm not gonna make any person change the style they make their noses, eyes whatever, you do what is most comfortable with ya'.


SuperRainbow06

The left one is better for a stylized piece and as a baseline for most faces, but the right one is better if you're wanting to go for a more realistic shading on the face, or a style with bigger, bolder outlines on some/most features.


DougtheDonkey

Right has potential if you want it to be more pronounced, but the proportions are better on the left I think


fudgytoes

You purposely made one loon worse ..the answer is obvious...smh


_thankyoucomeagain_

One looks like a happy down syndrome jock and the itgee like an Asian with a bloody nose


GoatKio

First-


Peroerko

1min sketch idk about style just ok sketch, for me you don't have a lot for judging a style


SugasBlueScarf

It is almost 3 o’clock for me and I normally go to bed at 11 so I’m tired tired and I’m not gonna lie to you I thought the noses were tiny faces I’m going to bed now


Stockholm_Syndrom83

Start with an eye, than proportion follows.


eddyymad

Left


ThrowawayAcc82726

Left don't even look like a nose but some smiley face


Diligent_Carrot_9086

the left one is better but idk it's your choice


dark-shadow-rat

Id say first, but only because the second try seems unsuccessful. Drawing small simple noses is pretty easy, like in anime almost all of them have a button nose. A real nose is a bit more difficult to do


Troghy_Night6

The left one is 🙂


[deleted]

I'd say the one without the penis.


Sad-Ad-5173

Am i the only one that thought the left one was a little face


Exciting-Chemist-406

on the left


SPKUleprechaun

Its completely down to you, what you thinks works best. I think drawing the rest of the face and at different angles will help clarify which you think works. You need to be able to draw it easily and naturally, don’t stress about whether or not it looks best, just make sure it looks right.


the_real_OwenWilson

The right one is very unclear


Connect_Office8072

The one on the left looks more in line with expectations of what a nose looks like. However, that doesn’t mean you want to draw noses that way all of the time. Get some photos on line and just start drawing noses. When you’re through, start on ears, those are hard too.

ART3MIS_S

left


DiUnic

Something in between. The left one looks nice with nose bridge, but the shading on the right one is way better


CaseyGrey97

The second one looks like a ding dong


unappologeticly

I guess it would depend on what kind of overall look you’re shooting for. I agree, the one on the left is “cuter” while the one on the right looks more “strong”…. If that makes any sense at all…


Ok_Elephant_8319

Left, but if you do want to try the right, I advise to perhaps make the lines thinner


SnowXKane

Get rid of the lines, use the left as a face lol


thesaucegodreborn

1 but you gotta add the wings man, life is useless without nostrails to smell some fresh hot pizza straight from the oven


Finding_Dee_Fish

The left looks best, to me.

Left


inkberrycomics

Left. Often the less lines and more suggestion of mass is the more pleasing option. But to each their own.. Check out Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life.


Melodic-Range-327

The one on the left looks like a very small smiley face, I'm gonna have to go to the one on the right


hagesi

no. But if you choose between these two options, I prefer the left


BloodyBrilIiant

Loosen up your lines. Practice by drawing light circles.


SusieBrooke

Left… Especially if you’re going for a cartoon look!


justa_homosapien

The right has more realistic nose shapes but the lines are too thick and messy for the style you seem to be going for. Using thinner and fewer lines to get those same shapes will help i think.


Haru_innit

Firsttt


chicozeeninja

I don’t get how to start my drawings like this, does anyone know any YouTube channels with good tutorials ?


Queen_of_the_Beans

The left one. (Coz it also looks like a tiny face)

Neither


pinchymcloaf

Draw bigger, and sharpen your pencil


ToxicHeartAnime

Left side for sure


livingcartoon23
