Okay, I think I’ve got the method down and it’s time move on to the features, how they sit on the face, refining proportions and perspective as I go along. Tested myself from imagination a bit (though they’re much wonkier than the couple referenced ones for now). One really cool thing about this system is that when trying Asaro heads (or anything referenced) they’re no longer proportionally wildly off like before, when I had to correct and correct.

In this critique, I’ll be going over some of the common issues like the jawline curving too much, feature placement, and keeping the jawline parallel to the head's tilt to avoid distortion.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but it doesn't look right. I try to focus on representing the skull and only using forms.
Human faces are hard because tiny differences look much bigger than they should. It’s very close imo, just a little longer and thinner than the photo. (Forgive me for using round rhythms, as I’m only now reaching this section of the lessons)

Nice studies!
Question: The 3/4 view... Generally speaking, you say the edge of the face should be parallel to the tilt. Do you mean parallel in 2 point perspective?

Yes, I believe that's what I mean. I just don't want the angle of the face to not match my initial 2D lean.
Some practise from today. Proportions have massively improved from before I watched the course, though occasionally I still get a face slightly too long (which is actually the opposite problem than I had before!)
I feel really confident on my 3/4's, profile and front view, but anything with Upward or Downward perspective and my composition falls apart due to not knowing where exactly to place my porportion markers
Cheers for the helpful suggestions and critique, I really appreciate the feedback and will definitely focus on pushing those curves.
I have a question for Mr Hampton. When it comes to the proportional relationship of the features, divide in half between brow and chin to find nose. The hlalf again for sockets etc... How would this be effected in very deep perspective poses? Extreme tilts so far back or forward that features start to overlap?

It's not. I find it to be just as useful in extreme poses.
Thank you for the critique, and being picky about the subtleties - it really helps!
I'll definitely pay more attention not to elongate the sphere early on.
