A Nose for Drawing

Well, while the Tigers were busy Beating the Yankees (yea!!), I sat with a National Geographic Magazine and drew some noses. Noses are very hard for me to draw, as you can tell by this crop. Speaking of cropping, since I lost Photoshop with the installation of the new software, I can't do all the things I used to do that makes my drawings show up better, such as adjust the values and contrast. I did find a free on-line photo editing site, but it doesn't do the job that p.shop does. There's probably other ones out there, and I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have for me.
Today while the Tigers play (and win again, I might add), I'm planning on starting another copy of a Sargent portrait. I'll post it when I finish it, OK?

Hey you got them noses done! You are off to a great start!
Nancy,
Love the noses and my Morgan asks me to tell you she loves them too!
xoxo
nice noseys :p
These are excellent Nancy - looks like practice definitely makes perfect :)
I'm always so impressed (and a teeny bit jealous!) when I stop by here, but the ability to draw noses has me well and truly in awe - mine don't get past two straight lines in a mere suggestion of a nose!! Great sketches Nancy!
I find noses so difficult - these are really good.
Your noses are excellent, so hard to do! I like your idea of practicing eyes & noses from magazines, I will try that one...mouths too!?
What a delicate touch you have with this one. Great job!
nice work. noses are tricky especially isolating it from the rest of the face AND front on. They look really good.
Wow !!! Really good! You're almost there for a full portrait !
