Step 1: Sketch a rough shape of the nose. I chose a straight Caucasian nose.
Step 2: Darken the sketchy lines with small strokes to provide a guideline for later. Make sure to do this faintly as you don't want clearly defined lines yet.
Step 3: Fill both sides of the nose with small strokes to bring out a three dimensional feel. Leave the center of the bridge and bulb of the nose tip untouched. Pencil in the outline of the nostrils.
Step 4: Focus on the sides of the tip. It usually draws inwards which means it is darker than the rest of the bridge.
Step 5: Continue darkening using the guidelines you made above. Shade the area around the nostrils to give the impression of shadowing.
Step 6: Shade more if you wish until you are left with a desired effect. If needed, use an eraser to highlight the top of the nose bridge as well as the tip. Fix up the nostrils.
