Is it true that when drawing human faces/heads, the longer nose a person has the longer the face and forehead have to be?

Hmmmm...I don't think so, but that's just my personal observation. Seems to me there are a lot of people with pretty big noises that don't have very long faces. Jimmy Durante first comes to mind. You are only 17, you probably don't even know who he is. Here's a picture. However if you want the picture to look handsome I think people with big noises are more handsome if they have longer faces, but nature isn't always that nice to us.

Observations

Thanks for your feedback! I just kind of noticed that people with longer noses (vertically) have longer faces, and I was taught that the eyes line up in the middle of the head. However, from your feedback I've noticed some people who have long faces but have short noses.
