These noses were done from photos in the New York Times Sunday Magazine - using pencil and then increasing the contrast on the scan with Photoshop so I could post them. I still can't do face shading using a pen and I also haven't purchased fixative (or hair spray) for pencil sketches. So like my mouths, eyes, and self-portrait, they will slowly fade away. I'm still trying to learn to sketch with a pen and then to add a watercolor wash, so I only use pencil for very quick sketches.

Wonderful noses. They look so much better when combined with eyes and mouths!
