How to draw a dog nose in pastels | The importance of layers to get the 3D shape

Layering correctly when drawing a realistic dog nose is by far one of the most important processes. This pastel tutorial shows why layering is so valuable in creating that 3D shape when drawing a dogs nose. If you're finding the noses of the subject you are drawing are flatter and a little square looking it's almost always because there isn't sufficient layers to build the required depth. Should you want to see this process significantly slowed down, often in real time, I'll link my Patreon below :).
