NinoKitteN: Thanks! The book is a bit confronting, but very insightful I think. I did a brief outline of your study. The proportion issues should be apparent. I also think you twisted the head more towards us in the study. Nice work on the colour and value, some variances, but a good approximation.
In terms of tips, the measurement of angle and relative position is everything. I always try and judge angles of my lines in relation to other features before even putting down a stroke, and it is how I judge accuracy. Length of stroke is important but is easier to adjust if you nailed the angle. Not true the other way. Use your reference like a map built of lines at positions and angles. If the angle and placement of your stroke is wrong, the proportion will be off.
Basically think angles angles angles and judge them to other landmark features on the face. Hope that helps.
Another from imagination.
