I think you did a nice job, @ern1s! The complexity of the nose has a lot to do with perspective, so the best way to approach it is with a "constructional mindset": start by thinking of the "major planes" (a simple boxy object) so you can solve the overall perspective first; then, develop the big, simpler forms into smaller, more complex forms ("minor planes"), but still keeping the same logic of perspective, depth and overlaps; and, lastly, "polish" those minor planes into a rendered drawing, adding more details, softening the edges and making even smaller adjustments, but still keeping the same overall structure as before. I'm attaching some visual notes along with a paint-over - notice that the shading should follow the perspective since the earlier stages and remain consistent throughout the whole process: the top planes, which face the light source more directly, are lighter, while the bottom planes are significantly darker. When doing this with traditional pencil on paper, try to keep the outlines as light as possible during the sketch / construction phase so that they don't get in the way of rendering the tones later on. If you have any trouble visualizing the major or minor planes on a real nose or on a photo reference, maybe get a careful review on Stan's main lesson, take some notes for yourself and, perhaps, do some sketches without shading in order to get a stronger grip on those basic forms. Other than that, it seems that these are your first steps drawing the nose, so take it easy and just keep going! As you practice and study more, things should become progressively clearer and more manageable. Hope this helps. If you have any questions or extra commens, feel free to let me know!

Cool work! I especially like your shading, it's cool to look at and also gives all the information about the nose planes and form :D

Good work! Just one thing I'd like to note is to make sure the perspective aligns from the top of the bridge to the placement of the nostrils. Something I noticed as a tendency (e.g. #6, 7, 11, 12) is that the bottom of the nose seems to be facing one way while the top of the bridge is shifted at a different angle. It would help to create a quick guideline across for these two points and compare that they are parallel in the same direction.

I feel like it is too early to start shading. I dont think you understand the 3d form and planes of the nose very well yet especially the connection of the wing to the bridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRrXpZNoHmc this video is great for your studies. But other than that i can tell all the noses are different from each other. It ıs nice to see variety <3

I try to build the drawings up like Stan teaches, but they still don't look the way I want to - without unnecessary lines, smudging etc. Of course they don't look like Stan's - duh. I wish I knew how to make them look like I'm confident... Probably just practice practice - but I feel that there's something else (or specific) I should work on. -?-
