Noses...

You know what it is like - there is just something that you want to get right but just can't. You practice and practice and nothings seems to go right. Well at the moment that's me an noses.

I know this sounds strange but I have been drawing faces for the last fortnight and slowly they have been getting better but now I have hit a wall - or should that be a nose. I just don't seem to be able to get noses right - try as I can they just come out all strange. This is really frustrating and when you are sketching a person it is important. I have no problems with noses in profile but when the person is facing me it becomes very difficult. I guess this is part of the frustration of learning a new skill and no doubt I will master it but just at the moment all I want to do is punch someone's nose - probably mine. No wonder Van Gogh cut his ear off - at least he could draw a nose.
