Drawing help
Elizabeth,
Somehow the drawing was more accurate on the first go. On the turned side of his face the mouth should be shorter. The ridge over his eye seems too prominent, as well as his jaw. The cheek bone should be a touch wider. The side of his face turned toward us is a touch too narrow and the position of the ear looks off.
This is a method I sometimes use. Get a proportion wheel and a pair of calipers. Say your reference is a 6" head, and you want an 8" head. Match 6 and 8 on the wheel and it will give you accurate measurements of anything in between. For example from the nose to the chin on your photo is 2", the wheel will tell you what it would be in an 8" proportion. Use your calipers to mark off the right distance. This works well when rechecking your measurements as well.
Take some time to do an accurate head study. Only amateurs rush, thinking that is facilty.
The glasses are great, use them.
Sincerely,
