Sketch dump time!

I practically only draw during classes these days, but it turns out I end up drawing a lot, because if I'm not drawing my mind wanders and I don't pay attention. A couple of these were done at home, while chatting, having coffee. I haven't sat down to draw properly in ages. First one under the cut is a nude, warning for the poor people who can't

you appear to be having a problem with noses
I know because I have been there
one of my offline friends worked with comics for a few years before deciding it was a mugs game and there was more money in picking his nose
but we learned somethings along the way
neopiko are the same as copic - just slightly cheaper, but really don't go any cheaper than that - it really does show
a g-pen really can be used for most things but for fine lining you need a crow pen
and when it comes to noses - suggestions work better than statements

Jim Lee does wonderwoman - (note pencil lines too) the socket is there as is the tip of her nose

Thanks for the advice! But as for the pens, these were all done in 6B pencil or a regular writing pen in school notebooks with crappy paper. I have good stuff at home but I'm not going to carry it all to school (plus, I can't draw too much attention to what I'm doing, I'm doodling while the teachers are wibbling on about whatever, after all).

Noses - oddly enough, while I like Jim Lee, his noses are my least favourite part of his anatomy. They're too small and pretty and perky. I like long, well defined noses - hey, I come from a country of people with big noses, might be something there. Steve Dillon draws my favourite noses of all (my favourite everything, really), see there - http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Gd8NBIma-zo/TFOatvdpE5I/AAAAAAAAOQo/BGaidBmMqAE/s1600/Punisher+Max+%239+-+favouritecolor.jpg

Which books do you have? I own a ton of anatomy books but I can always use more (actually, what I could really use is time to work with them, I haven't had time to draw outside of class in months, which is also why I haven't sent you anything for the Star Trek thing yet).
