Drawing

I have taken up drawing. I started about a month ago even though
I have never done so in my life, much to my surprise I am not half bad.
My brother is an excellent artist, maybe a little tiny bit rubbed off.
I started because it seems to help me relax and wind down.
I am basically just doing people either caricatures or natural drawings of people.
I have captured the eyes quite well.
My problem seems to be noses. Any advice from artists out there?
I have not took classes or anything, I looked up some basic stuff online.
Right now I am just doing pencil drawings as I like black and white.
I did buy various pencils for drawing.
Any help would be great.

It's wonderful you've taken up drawing!

Are you drawing from life, photos, memory?

First I started by looking at other drawlings then photos. I really enjoy it. It is amazing what the shadding and lines do but I need to work on noses, I am not sure why they give me such a hard time compared to everything else.
But it has just been a month so it will come along. I will send you some of them via email. Not ready to post them yet, but I will take all the advice I can get.
