How to draw a nose (side)

Here's a quick step-by-step on how to draw a nose from the side. This is basically my process.

How to draw a nose from the side Start out by drawing a head as a square. Then add a triangle somewhere in the middle of the side of the head. Note: It's not a perfect triangle... that would look really weird, lol Give the head some shape (mine is male). The rest of the face actually defines the nose. Without the rest the nose would still just be a triangle. Edit the nose shape. You get cute noses, button noses, hooked noses, roman noses, long noses, etc. Now add a nostril: just draw two curvy lines. (A reference of a real person might prove helpful here.)

    hey, thanks for the great tutorial! Could you repeat it while doing a woman's face? And maybe looking sideways, but not completely sideways, like in this example, (if you understand what i mean... 🙂 )?
