i haven’t done ears yet but it appears the bottom of the ear lines with the mouth instead of bottom of nose.is my brow line too high again? If it is can you draw a line where it should be . Can you do the same on my Pippi Longstocking face as well. I want to get these right. I’ll sculpt another one

Looking good! It is a little hard to discern the feature proportions because the angle of the photo is different than the angle the photo of the sculpture was taken from and also without the mass of the back of the head to judge the size of the features off of but what I can say is that the facial features on babies and toddlers are much smaller compared to the forehead and back of the head than what we usually realize. So the bottom of the eyes, nose, and top teeth are very close in space. There also might be a little bit of an issue with the shape of the eyes and mouth though again it's hard to know for sure from the angle of the photo. It is coming along great though so keep up the good work!

Please give any pointers. I’m posting another one as well. This one was difficult as I couldn’t find a profile view

Looking good! really fun. If you're going for an exact replica you might just check the shape of the face especially where it transitions to the chin and jaw. the jaw is moving slightly to the side so the top and bottom teeth don't align exactly. The eyes appear a little too far apart in your sculpture and the under eye lids might be too prominent. Really great work and I look forward to seeing more and these develop!
