Find three photos in 3/4 view of three different celebrities, each with distinct head shapes, facial types. I said in class to find them online, but if you want to save yourself printing them out, clip them out of magazines. Heads should be at least 4 in. tall. You'll recall my urging you to concentrate on the gender you have the most difficulty with, if you have such.
Do a simple line drawing of each. Draw at very nearly the same size, ideally.
Then trace the photo on tracing paper or the like.
On both drawings, draw the vertical center line of the face. Follow it right down, riding the fullness of the forehead, the center of the bridge of the nose, etc.
Compare the tracing to your line drawing. If the sizes are close, you can overlay the tracing paper and really compare. What are the differences? Did you err on some of the size relationships? You can reasonably assume that these goofs are habitual.
DONT CORRECT THE ORIGINAL DRAWING or you will get less out of this.
Please be ready to talk a minute or two about what you learned.
Good luck!
John
