A few nose attempts

This didn't work out too well at all. I'm fairly confident that I have the shape down fine, but my chinese white pencil [which I was attempting to use as a highlight on the creme paper] just ended up smudging everything ):

...That and the 2nd one is a little crooked. I'm still trying to get used to working with soft shapes like this. Trying to break out of my hard lineart comfort zone, because noses are soft features. The lips were more successful.

Disembodied facial features.

Just trying to study from life more, and do something a bit more involved than just sketching...
I guess it was just to see what I'm capable of currently.
Terrified to add anything else on the page, for fear that I'll mess up and totally ruin the rest of the studies xD

So for now, I give you an eye, and a pair of lips.

Sorry for the quality on the lips. I think I should draw faces on plain white paper, instead of the off-white/cream paper I'm using currently. I think it'd help with highlights and whatnot...

Feedback and critique is always welcomed (:

I'm here to learn!
