To draw a realistic nose, start with a basic box. Then, to advance the basic block form of the nose, focus on adding and subtracting cartilage to build perspective. Start by sketching the nose in profile to understand its shape and use this profile to inform your 3D box design.
I'm getting a lot more comfortable with these, the rough head scaffolds are taking me only about 5 minutes each, and the noses are starting to look better and better
Ahhhh, now it’s getting fun. I don’t know any color theory yet and am unhappy with the lifelessness of the darker tones, but just focusing on the plane shifts and fat pads from the last two videos is making a big difference in solidity/likeness :D

Great study!
All valuable info, but it's tough for me cause I feel like it's too much to cram into such a small area. If I'm doing a full character and the head is smaller a lot of this becomes fairly unusable to me in the process of simplifying. Any advice when handling features at a scale much smaller, such as part of a full figure like you would draw in a comic or character design?
Old comment so you probably figured it out but for anyone else wondering this - have a look at Sinix’s anatomy tips videos to get started. He simplifies based on light direction, sometimes down to a couple of lines. Hence why having the structure down is necessary, so you know how light behaves against the planes.

My thinking is that this is the info you would need to know when editing it down to something small. You still have to convincingly indicate for the same information. How you do so might depend on what style you're working in.
I'm already afraid of the next project. It's getting more and more difficult!

Ha. Just go through the steps! You'll get it down.
Any rule of thumb for identifying plane changes? I know there are value and color changes as planes change, but is there anything else we should look for when trying to identify them?

That's most of what I use (light effects). A highlight, halftone, or shadow usually work best for me personally.
