I am talking about the drawing with the sphere you can find the explanation in the ( )
(I think the skull is a bit more difficult to draw as it a pretty complex shape i suggest drawing the skull using the step from 2 to 4 and as you start to understand the shape jaw of first and how it attach to the sphere you move toward the cheek and the nose.(Helping yourself with the shape that form a skull reference sheet to figure out what shape to use)
Don't try to draw straight full skull that look like step 4 right away get comfortable drawing step 2 in different angle draw maybe 10 or more try your hand at step 3 see if you have some success if not step back and do 10 more of the step 2 once you feel thing solidify move to step 3 doing 10 head using the back and forth between the construction to solidify the understanding of the jaw check bone.
One of the big step is going to get the volume of the eye socket right and the cheek bone it a very tricky organic form.
It not just a question of understanding the volume but the proportion learning the landmark of the face will help.
Using the reference provided should give you a chance to start with shape that are simple and effective.
What is great is that the shape doesn't change much for the area around the eye since those area are really close to the bone compare to let say the lips or the nose that as a completely different shape than the cavity underneath.
Skull are great if you like the macabre and you should study them alot if you plan to use them often. Otherwise i argue and i am gonna say this with a grain of salt learning the skull is not essential it allow you to understand how you can push the limit but muscle are probably going to be more important to learn to get facial expression right but those muscle still attach to the skull so ultimately it the relation and understanding of anatomy of the skull that is primary.
I argue that with construction method what underneath the skin become secondary but we cannot deny that what under it is accounting for alot of what we see.
What i am trying to say is that i don't necessary suggest approaching learning the head by drawing skull first learning the muscle second and finally learn the feature. I think you should focus on what we see first and then get nerdy about it and get underneath as you progress.
For example taking the arm as a subject matter for example learning the inner muscle before the superficial muscle would be kind of strange there is an orderly fashion you can go about learning but it just not an order you can figure out without some experience or someone that as is own idea about that order.
On that note i am gonna shut up and let the real anatomy expert speak. I am out of my wheel house when it come to human figure i barely touch it in all honesty my opinion are just base on what seem logical and comparing different popular construction method.
