I followed the demo and I think I was able to get it somewhat accurate to her, but the measuring still gives me a bit more trouble.

I made him to square this measurement thing is still need to me. If anyone has any additional help on measure accurately and have them look like the person it'll be very helpful cause I struggle a lot
Hey there! I like how dedicated you are. I have watched the 3 attempts you have made - well done!
I am not a pro, but I have done this exercise and I would like to show how I approached it and what I think is important.
The most important thing is to meassure correctly. It is necessary to follow the instructions in the video. Straight arms (shoulder arm 90 degres), close one eye, lean your head to the side.
I think you used the pencil for measurement like in the video described. Personaly I am having a hard time keeping the orientation when using the pencil. This is why I use something wider like a lighter or a piece of paper. Paper also has the benefit that I can fold it which allows me to find the center of the measurement which is also very helpful (but don't fold the meassure device use a seprate sheet of paper). Use a thick paper. And don't forget to use your measure device to find angles.
The next step is where you need to spend a lot of patience. It is the part where you try to find a relation between important landmarks. This is different from drawing to drawing and needs to be tried out - and wow is the relation that Stan found convenient. He used the size of the hat. Your goal is to find a height that relates to all other landmarks that help you out like the mouth char...
From there you start to measure a grid in your head and keep all the important landmarks in mind. So you use the same width as height in order to create a square. Attached you will find an example of how this grid may look like. The important thing is to remember where the landmarks are going to land. In this example you will notice that the nose and the chin land on each relation so you can draw the head. Than I continued with the shoulders. Left shoulder - 3 meassurements down begin of the shoulder. Then across one meassurement. And this is how I try keep orientation.
Finally you will need to understand that this grit never will cover the whole drawing so you will also need to guess how far the space between the grid and the final piece is (where I wrote eyeball in the attached image).
Hope I gave you something that helps.
Keep on going!

I tired my hand with Peter Han's style in lines. I had a lot of frustration because it wasn't look like how I wanted to turn out but I did understand it was a different medium and constructing the lines gave me much more insight on the process of it.
