This lesson is part of my series about the four basic shapes in both the natural and the manufactured world. When we simplify everything in the world around us to a cube a sphere, a cylinder and a cone our observation skills improve and as a result our drawing vastly improves too. Happy drawing everyone.

I am so delighted that the cone became a nose, a harder feature for me to get right. I can certainly appreciate your four shapes now, the human face and body are my poor drawing skills. I have a lifetime of gardening and drawing from my garden is less intimidating for me. So I am thrilled Mr. Coxon to have found you and appreciate your unique teaching skills. Thank you again for sharing your time and talents, Lindsay

Thanks for your comment Lindsay. It was hard at first coming up with a cone as part of the human body then suddenly it hit me. Why not the nose? I think the secret to drawing the nose front on is to make the lighting come from the side. Also, don't be too preoccupied with nostrils just suggest them.
