Cartoon Nose step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 11

Outline your cartoon nose with black ink. If you're using a paintbrush or ink pen, experiment with different strokes and line thicknesses. Notice how the dashes on the nose become smaller.

Afterward, shade the outline with your chosen skin color. Use pale shades for the uppermost parts of the nose that catch the light. Add shadows on the side of the nose and around the nostrils.

This shows them how each body part works before they put it all together.
