Tufty:
You're definitely on the right track but i'd like to mention a couple of things.
Firstly your heights - around the nasal region i feel is quite good however it looks like you've undershot those much softer shapes on the top of the nose. this should be done at a nearly indistinguishable height and are the easiest effect of this image because they should be done from around 15cm high!
I see what you're doing with the bottom of the nose, using a solid line, another directional line and backfilling, however i'd recommend against doing it this way as you're risking creating streaks in your artwork if the paint isn't overlapped nicely. The best way to pull of sharp effects like this and with a sharp blend - blending outwards and using your height to create that outer edge instead of a separate effect.
I do see how the edges of the nose look like dagger strokes and i think these would work if they were a dual effect - a dagger stroke and a directional line, however to achieve both these effects in one, you could simply use a blend.
To anyone reading this, dagger strokes by themselves are quite uncommon - except for hair, where they're everything.
the last thing is the direction of your blend on the edge of the nose, i think you should have done this effect from the opposite direction.
I'm happy with how you've done mate as the second image i think you've re-created it nicely, but could be tweaked - to take this one step further you could actually practise doing the effects your way and see how the image turns out.

Shane! mate if you could make your image a little larger next time:cupcake:
Your bottom effects - spot on! Exactly like i commented to tufty i think blends would be better suited in these areas, however in the case of what you've put down there, i think you'd need to be at a slightly lesser height.. like 3 cm or so? But i do agree with the opacity - I think around 50% is good.
I completely agree with your effects at the top of the nose here mate, however i'd like to see a height! Naughty corner for you.
These should be around 15 cm height.. very soft effects!
Good work though, i didn't expect people to go so well off the bat!
Ok so after taking up airbrushing seriously for only 4 weeks this is a rather nubish attempt at deconstruction. But as Mich said, there is no right or wrong. But I'm here to learn so here is what I came up with on the eye and nose.

I'll just cover the nose here.
The bottom effect of your nose could more easily be done as one effect - just a simple blend done at a very sharp height of 1 cm! it's a bit of a difficult effect to pull off but is the best way to achieve it.
I can see how you thought the left effects could be reverse daggers.. but i wouldn't recommend them here.. i think the effects on the side of the nose show definite edges and they're consistent.. you'll find more reverse daggers in areas like lips and eyes..
Your opacities on the bottom effects could go a little darker, it's difficult to distinguish how dark 20% is but it's actually pretty light.
I think you've got the right effects for the areas above the nose, however you could achieve these with a single blend done from a larger height and pointing outwards from the nose. These should be around 15 cm from the canvas to create the correct inward and outward edges of the effects!

Sorry it's a little messy kind of rushed it, but this is what I came up with.
You know what you're doing.
two things - i'd revisit the effects you decided that were dagger strokes and change them to blends and i think you should do the top effects from a larger height!
besides those two things.. i think you've nailed it.
