On to day 3 of sculpting anatomy to improve my ZBrush skills, the nose.

I’ve started to realize that although the idea to sculpt only 1 feature is great for a focused effort; plopping something like a nose, eye or mouth down on a sphere doesn’t give me any context for how they’re represented in relation to the rest of the face. There are structures immediately surrounding each feature that define character and emotion that I should also read into.

So, instead of sculpting on a blank sphere, I’ll now build off of the last sculpt and see where it takes me. There aren’t many things I can call out as lessons learned during this sculpt aside from knowing I needed the areas next to the nose to achieve something believable.

Maybe, I should point out the different parts of the nose for reference since it’s helpful to know them and see the muscles that form them.

Here’s a reference image I found with useful labels on key landmarks. Some of the areas that seem more commonly defined on a male’s nose would be the supra alar crease, glabella and tip of the nose. Females seem to have much smoother shapes to their nose. Even though a certain part of the nose like the supra alar crease might be more pronounced on some females, the entire shape as a whole tends have softer angles.

Here’s another displaying the muscles underneath:

Below is a video of my process on the nose:
