I'll demonstrate how to modify head construction for different character types, focusing on male vs. female differences. For females, use softer curves, less prominent bone structure, and understated features. Keep the forehead more vertical, jaw angle less pronounced, and brow ridge subtle. For males, emphasize angular features, broader jaw, more prominent brow ridge, and reclined forehead angle. Adjust proportions and planes to achieve desired character traits while maintaining basic construction principles.

before comparing it on procreate, the only adjustment I made to my original lines was moving the ear way out of the temple circle from its quadrant. I was off with pretty much all of the jaw cheek and head proprortion. How do I go about this better?

What do you think about these extra lines on the face? Too much or ok? Am I missing anything very important ? Also I love ur course

I have seen a part of this lesson in the "Introduction to Drawing and Constructing the Head" and I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Based on your method, today I draw the demo of Audrey Hepburn. Mr. Hampton, thank you very much for this wonderful course!
