Side profile nose is tough…

Comparing "Loomis Method Real Time Demo" to "3D Model: The Loomis Head" there would seem to be a difference. In the demo the a line goes from chin to the centre of the ear plane, whereas in the 3D model the same line goes to the end of the brow line. Is this a choice, is one preferred?
I thought someone answered this elsewhere but the 3D model is showing a side plane of the jaw (see Quickly Draw Heads with the Loomis Method – Part 1 2:48)
The drawing on the right shows the cheekbone. Stan uses it in 11:22 of that same video.
Choose whichever one is best suited to the reference.

This was a challenging (but fun) assignment, especially since form is my weakness. I need to work on my boxes and cylinders more, and I will check out Marshall’s perspective series and Draw a Box to help with that.

Hi! Am I missing something? Where is the reference photo? Thanks!
I don’t think there’s a reference. I believe it’s based on Stan’s face, just flip this image horizontally.
A little study, painted with my mixer brushes.

I feel like I 'know' a lot more than I 'can do' at this stage, and it is extremely frustrating when every drawing turns out full of the exact mistakes I was trying to avoid, and done in the same sloppy technique that I am trying to get away from or improve.
I feel your frustration. The vision in my head is better than the one I can get down on paper. I've been trying to accept my current skill level as is. I'm not very successful at accepting this unfortunate reality, but I think the idea is that this is just reality, and we can choose how we react to it. Sadly, there isn't a speed up button when it comes to improving. 😔

Asked for help
I tried my best and my inadequate perspective knowledge might be the problem, but can someone tell me if these are okay?
I have no clue where the edges of the circle should be in these pics. I try to draw a circle, and sometimes parts of the head or the face don’t fit in it. I.e. in the pic where Stan is looking down, I had to draw the circle lower, but then the top of the head isn’t included anymore.

I think the issue could be that you aren't covering the entirety of the head with your boxes/loomis head. Remember that the center point of the side plane is also the mid point of the entire head. Hope this helps!
