I think this is the first time I'm actually satisfied with the eye size.

this time it's definitely the nose that's too big. Not sure about the eyes yet....

I'm sorry to the person who was kind enough to upload their face as a reference. I noticed the slight asymmetry in their eyes, and ended up making it really bad :(

Done

I no longer have the luxury of time I had over the weekend, so I couldn't do as many. But except for the initial circle (and some other stuff on the right most one) , everything about these is free handed. And while it is a bit wonkier, I'm actually really happy.

Realized that one big mistake I made yesterday was rotating the plane marking the side of the head, rather than just changing it's angle against the y-axis (technically, that's also a rotation. But whatever.) so I tried again with the face pointing more and more to the right. And then I flipped over the paper, and started it all over. This time with more circle and ellipse guides and rulers. Still struggling a bit with the looking down faces this way, but it's sooo much better now.
