If I could give some advice, I would just say focus on getting the big skull proportions consistent. So you know the hairline to brow, brow to bottom of nose, nose to chin are about equal thirds. And the jaw/ear canal sits at about half the width of the cranium. But sometimes these are right and sometimes not. Like in this skull in profile, the measurements are off because those thirds are too big, giving a vertical stretch to the skull. And then on the guy below, the thirds are looking good, but then the head is a bit too narrow. There's a lot more mass than you might imagine at the back of the head.
You'll make the most progress keeping it simple, and working with reference to make sure you're on track. You start to just get a sense for what looks plausible and what feels off. But if you're not really looking at reference, you don't develop that sense.
