problems with nose topology

Hi,

I’m trying to get my hands on topology and with the help of Jonathan William’s nice head tutorial I ended up with something. But I’m having problems with getting a nice edge flow around the sides of the nose. I’ve tried to get something like the blue line but wasn’t able to do that.
Can someone point me into the right direction?

Here’s what I came up with. I think the main problem you have is the nasolabial fold, not actually the nose.

Be sure to check out Michel Roger’s face studies. I think they’re still some of the best usages of loops.

Those studies by Michel Roger are a really great resource I’d never seen before. Thanks for that!

Thanks BIG time Zwebbie :). You had a little pentagon in there but that wasn’t a problem. Big improvement to the mesh.
Great link, exactly what I need
