Blaze! (and talking about noses)

I did a simple drawing of Blaze from Arknights. It's mostly a for fun doodle, but also kinda me trying something I haven't dared myself to do in a long time and that is drawing noses again. 

Yes, that little line on her face gives me so much stress >< 

I feel like drawing is a process that is always changing and even if I feel pretty comfortable in my style, I think it is time for a little change.

The last time I drew a nose was around 2015 when I started tabling at conventions. Back then, my style is very round head. My head is literally a circle because I was still used to drawing chibis more. 

I really hate how my noses on my face will be so prominent so I started to not draw noses and it kinda became a style I am comfortable with. As my art evolved, my heads start to not be as circular. It became harder to justify not adding noses. 

Even though I feel like my art will look better with a nose in the side view, I stubbornly refused to add one because it's my style! But what is style without change and evolution. If I truly want my art to keep improving, why do I not draw what I believe looks better?

So today, I determinedly added a nose to Blaze and submit. Even though it's such a small art choice, it something that makes me happy, that I want to do for a long time! I still might bounce from no nose and nose characters until I feel it is correct, but I think its a step towards a right place. 

Haha, I ranted about noses for a while.  :D
