The problem is that without a construction method you are lock to what ever reference you have it limit greatly the possiblity.
I wish I could see the improvement but to me, it's mostly the same. I have the same issues as before and very little has changed. I just don't think I'm doing well at all.

I usually do try to keep my eyes on the reference most of the time but, for some reason i find it hard to keep proportion.
I thought I had a construction method with what I had learned from the Andrew Loomis books but, it appears that I have failed to understand major aspects of those books. I suppose I should start from the beginning of Fun with a Pencil once again then.
I start with Loomis's methods but I find I need to make major changes (move the browline, shorten the jaw line, re arrange various features on the face).
