Well if you can't put your finger on something it best to draw from 1 to 1 scale since you draw digitally you can put the reference direct over the space you will draw the copy and then you hide the original reference you then open the reference on an other window trying to maintain the original size so you don't have to visually rescale since you are still new to this.
This mean that at the end you can just unhide the reference you had previously place underneath the copy now you can see HOW much you deviated from the original.
As far as how much error is acceptable remember that different skull shape have slight variation. You don't have to worry about ''likeness'' yet your not copying a model from life. But if you are looking to achieve a certain ''idealize mannequin'' you want to stick to the formula.
That also perhaps the issue you should draw from life this will help you realize that there is no perfect formula your eye will get train to see error overtime drawing skill and observation will not always be on equal playing field.
