How To Draw Noses!

Hi everyone!:)
Anonymous A asked me a little while back how I draw noses, so I thought I would make a tutorial about it!:) It might be a bit confusing, but I hope it helps someone!:)

One kind of nose I start with drawing little curved lines, the nostrils.

Next I outline the nostrils with two little bumps/curves.

Then I run my pencil across all of the lines I did, connecting them to make a nose like this!

You could stop there, unless you wanted to add extra stuff, like making the nostrils visible again and adding bumps to the top part of the nose.

Another kind of nose I do starts with a shape sort of like an "L".

You add another "L", on the other side, then connect them with a little straight line and you're finished!:)

Another kind you can start at the bridge of the nose with long curves curving into one another. Then at the bottom, you make a sort of "V". You could stop here if this is good enough for you, but you can continue-

By adding some more lines connecting to the "V" and such.;)

For a 3/4 nose, you make a "V" on its side.

Then you attach a little curve to the "V" (the nostril), then another curve to the nostril, then you can go over it all again making it look all uniform.;)

Another nose can start with a simple circle.

By making little curved nostrils to the bottom, then three curves above them, add shading, you got a cute little button nose!:D

This one is pretty simple 3/4 nose. You start with the bendy curve, then add a dot (the nostril) and the curve of the skin part of the nostril.;)

This is more of a guy's nose and a profile view. You make it by drawing a slightly curved line for the bridge of the nose, then another slightly curved line underneath that that connects to the nostril and "skin part of the nostril".;)

This one is pretty much the same, but with a different bridge of the nose, it's way more curved inward.:)

This is another guy nose, with a straight line outward, then a straight line back to the nostril (creating a pointed nose) and then the usual nostril and curvy nostril part, but in this one they are connected.

This is a profile hooked nose. It's pretty much the same as all of the others, but the bridge of the nose hooks out suddenly then you do the normal stuff.;) By showing the unseen nostril on the other side, this could also be a 3/4 nose.:)

And if all else fails, just make a super simple curve for a cute nose!;)

I hope this helped anyone who is struggling with noses! When I made this tutorial, I realized how few noses I use....I need to do some more people watching. Or more like nose watching!;D
