So I have a character without a nose and now I am trying to figure out how to draw their profile. I have no ideas.

Was there a nose at some point and now it's gone, or they just don't have a nose?

If it's the former, I'd imagine it'd look a bit like a skull, if it's the latter, I'd start by just sketching it with a straight line down from the bridge to the lip and work from there until it looks right.

I may not know your style but some approaches I've seen are as scythe mentioned with going for a flat face and then here are some approaches I've seen and tried.

I'm used to the stylistic approach of using a shape or a slight curve but I hope this is useful :smile:

Look up Oban Star Racers! The people in that cartoon don't have noses and it can help you with different angles!

A couple characters in my comic don't have visible noses and when I draw them from the side I just leave the space where their nose should be flat. I guess it depends on if the character has a nose but you don't want it to be visible for style purposes or if they have one but it's only more noticeable from the side.
