I got that head-building method from Scott Eaton in case you're curious.

Yes, the mouth mound is a squished sphere. It's just that sometimes in 3/4ish angles you don't squish it enough at the base of the nose, so it sits a bit too forward.

And I could be wrong, but you seem so to be focusing so much on the lips shape you put most of your energy into outlining them, without rendering their volume with the same care dispensed to nose and jawline. Being lighter, they read as sitting more forward than the chin. Quick paintover with missing shadows to illustrate what I mean:


Here are a few areas of interest where the mouth mound gets squished back to bone. Sculpture courtesy of a Proko video I didn't watch but has a nice mouth.


I got that impression because it's not happening in your portraits of older people, where you suggest the lips volume without outlining them in the same manner. You seem less tempted to skip shadows then.

this are drawings that i did last year, i will definitely do more with this feedbacks, thanks
