Noses & Mouths.
I'll be honest here, noses and mouths were and still are parts of the face that I don't necessarily get too enthusiastic about drawing. However, they are very important elements, and are crucial to making a good face. After all, a face isn't a face without them. Below I've demonstrated how to draw noses and mouths at different angles as well as masculine and feminine (for noses), and various styles (for mouths).

NOSES. The nose is only but a few lines and strokes.
- In front view, the nose consists of a straight line leading from one eye (and often times this line is not even required), and leads down to two small slits, almost snake-like.
- In side view, it is a curve; the intensity of the curve depends on the gender and age; females and children tend to have bigger curves, making the nose smaller, whereas males and older people have more straight noses.
- In three-quarter view, the nose is very similar to that of side view.
- Note that there are different ways to draw noses -- straight, hooked, sharp, etc.
MOUTHS - The mouth isn't difficult to draw; it's only but a couple lines. Closed, open -- it's all pretty simple.
