Topology help. This has got me stumped..

Support Modeling

Hey ladies and gents,

I am new here and hope learn and help as much as possible!

My question lies in topology. I have sculpted this model and I am ready to move forward. I was in the middle of my retopo and I realized I have no idea how this should flow for animation. The problem area I am facing is the nose/nostrils (nostrils closed). I have attached the sculpt and my rough drawing of what i could come up with… I would really appreciate some feed back from you skilled individuals!

Even though you’ve asked for help in retopology process of your sculpt, I must advise that you should sculpt your characters with neutral face expression (you can rig your face to show other face expressions once you retopologized it perfectly) or to put it more precisely with relaxed muscles. It will make your retopology process easier and simpler. This kind of sculpt gives you hard time on deciding how topology flow on it should be.
