I have done and redone this several times. I either had the cheeks/forehead look flat or the eye look flat. Whenever I added material to one, the other one looked way too flat. This is the best attempt in a lot of hours. I have huge problems around the eye and making the eye look 3d. I think I can't judge depth well enough. Any tips to help with that? Where am I making big mistakes?

Awesome! and the nice thing about digital is you can do an eye on one side and it can mirror it on the other. Keep it up!

Pretty happy with the side profile overall, but front feels iffy. Think I extended too far out under the eyes, and eye shape and nose are bit off. I definitely found it tricky to focus on a 'square' of the face, seemed somehow like proportions were harder to gauge. Although chipping away at this in work lunch breaks meant I could move it forward, I think it would have benefited from sitting down and properly commiting to it for longer sessions.

Looking great! really well done! yes isolating an area of the face can be a bit tricky but its a great exercise and this one is looking really good. Keep going!
