Draw : Brush
Shape : Add

Draw on middle of prim to pull a nose shape.

PS. Don't forget to change camera view at any angle as you like.

PS. When the result is not good you can press Ctrl+Z to undo the process.

7. Use same setting but click on Sub instead of Add.

Sub setting will invert the brush effect. In this case It will push the prim. Use this setting to creat eye socket and mouth.
