Select the Extrude tool, then press and hold the Shift key. The pointing hand icon switches to one with a "+" sign. This allows you to select multiple polygons for extrusion. As you select polygons, they are highlighted in yellow. Select the two polygons that will become the nostrils while keeping the Shift key down. Once the nostrils are selected, hit the Return key. The hand changes to an arrow. Move the arrow away from the last polygon selected and click. Click to finish the extrusion and validate to finish the action. |

By default the extrusion is free to move back or forth to taper or flare out. Hitting the spacebar once restricts the constraint to run the length of the extrusion. hitting the spacebar again restricts the constraint to move along the plane of extrusion.
Select the polygons to be extruded, hit Return, then hit the spacebar to create a smaller extrusion on the face of the polygon, click, then hit the spacebar again and extrude into the nose.
This is a step you may need to practice a few times to get the hang of it.

Here is a view of the head I've modeled so far. I now have an area on either side of the mouth that I can sculpt as creases where the cheeks and mouth meet. I can also push the outermost parts of the lips back into the head more. |
