5. Drawing the nose
A portrait drawing will not appear correct until the drawing is complete.
All drawings are to be created from live views or the portrait will become generic.
Your image needs to reflect character-moles, hair, freckles, imperfections of any kind.

6. Nose
Creating a nose is different for everyone. The shape always varies from person to person.
Adding value to your shape will form a proper nose.
Layer values for a more realistic structure.
