I dont think i quite get the importance of the anatomy and the minor planes. Is it for when putting shadows?

Looks great!

Hi there! Absolute beginner here. The nose looks good, but I feel that it could do with more defined shapes. Try to push your value ranges further to give yourself more room for more subtle nuances. Darkening your darks, such as the nostrils, even further will help accentuate your highlights and vice versa. Don't be afraid to go "too dark" or "too light" especially at the beginning. Stepping outside your comfort zone to create something that's "too bold" helps you gain confidence in your art. Looking forward to see the rest

Your construction seems good, and I think the purple nose came out great. I think what makes it more successful is the contrast between light and dark that allows it to be more readable and clear in its structure. Continue applying the method of finding the separation between light and shadow after laying in your structure, as this continues to communicate the form of the nose. Your work is overall on the right track, but keeping this in mind also helps the process become more manageable. Hope this helps! :)

Great work! I admire your dedication to do 100!

who nose best

Man I don't have any critique on this but I appreciate your hard work, inspiring really!

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!

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.
