This tutorial is a more advanced version of my "How to Draw a Nose" video. It focuses less on the generic formula for a nose, and more on observational drawing and shading to create a realistic rendering of a nose.
In this video, I am using a plain old HB pencil! Try to stay within the HB-2B range for general sketching. Too hard of a graphite (the higher the H, the harder the graphite) is really light and can indent the paper easily if you press too hard. The higher the B, the softer the graphite, which will create darker marks!
