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.

So first thing first, thank you for the incredible course, I've improved greatly because of it and seeing my head drawings since I started in Feb this year to what I've achieved now, I'm proud and I have you to thank.
Second, I've followed along with your steps, and I'm happy with the result, but I feel as though something's off, I have a slight inclining that it's either the jaw or forehead but I'm not sure.

Looking back at it, I think it may be the jaw length, if there are any other issues, let me know!

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!
