added comment inHow to Draw the Head – Front View
Asked for help
This was harder than expected, it took me a while to figure out how to draw the ovals on the side planes

Are there any recommendations on where to find good images for practice?
I always turn to Pinterest. I use the keywords "National Geographic Portraits" "People of the world" "portrait photography" and "Photography for artists"
You can take lots of side view pictures of yourself, or someone else, and try to draw them out. Or, you can google one up and copy it.

My first attempts drawn from the 3D model and images, I had a lot of trouble especially when the heads were tilted downwards (such as in the image I attached here).
Nice start. I have trouble with downward tilts too sometimes. Think much of it is a matter of trying to get your eye in. Seeing the shapes for what they are rather than what one expects. I’m going to tackle it by making a model in clay with all the marks on it.
I think thee look good and I would suggest maybe roughing in the head as a cube as an initial step to help sort to the perspective for tilts. The draw the head in that cube for the most part. I think that can really help keep things in line in perspective.
