Modeling a nose... how to do it?

Recommended Posts

I'm working on this Green Man face for a bag. I've got a handle on the floral tooling (oak leaves), but I'm not sure how to best do the face, especially the nose (and by extension, the eyes).

I'm not sure what tools I should use, or what sequence of techniques, to get it right. Any of you figure modeling experts got some advice?

I may be able to help.  Here is a video about simple eyes.  The best advice I can give other than what’s in the video is to use a modeling spoon to eliminate any hard edges.

As for the nose, you’re pretty close.  You only need a little more separation between cheeks and bridge of nose junction and to define the nostrils where they need the mouth. Usually it’s a small arc that goes part way under the nostril. Your original artwork probably shows it better.  Below is an example of some of mine. Hope it helps.
