Hi, I'm trying to learn to draw, and I have a really big problem, and is learning to draw parts of the face, to be concrete, the nose and the ears are big problem.

The point of this post is, I see in cartoons or anime the nose doesn't really exist, the nose is form by two points and a line or a "<", How does that work?, How that can look nice?, I mean it doesn't look like a nose but it looks nice.

It's based off children's proportions
They look nice because we are hardwired to find children adorable.

there is just enough there to imply the nose, and you don't really think about it till it gets pointed out. an extreme example of this would be krillin from dbz who literally had no nose (this was a gag in the pre time skip part of the story) or k-on for a more its not a gag, they have noses, but they are very VERY minimal for implied detail.

this is a you have to know the rules to break the rules kind of simplification.

I mean, I suck drawing noses, but then i see hentai artist who doesnt make a complicated structure to make a nose, just make this, and it looks good.

I need to understand face proportions and then learn simplification

it's a simplification of real life
it is likely that this artist knows how to draw a nose that looks more lifelike but they choose to simplify it in the way you see there

it's hard to gauge what kind of advice to give you because it's not just a one-fits-all kind of blanket advice we can give you
we kind of have to see what you are doing to point out what you can be doing better

if you're an absolute beginner, it's better you spend time learning form/perspective before you try to learn how to draw the face because you will end up wasting a lot of time otherwise

Im betring that it isnt "just noses and ears" and that in reality you suck at everything.

Draw skulls, understand the different parts of skulls, you will get better at faces.
