That was extremely hard!! But that isn't saying I don't appreciate the challenge! I have never been able to sight draw a person even from a photo. I have only used a grid. The grid has been a wonderful tool, but I have always wanted to be able to really see the relationships of the face. The first two attachments are my total freehand measuring. I could tell I was getting off, but don't have the skill to figure out where. I just knew it was getting worse and worse. The second attachment is from me noticing the eyes are wrong. I decided to continue using the first eye for measure. Using it as a size and distance reference, I used a measuing tool to help me with the placements. I mapped all the shading shapes as well. I think in time I will do much better. The only issue is I am 70 and time isn't on my side, so tools are important at this stage of my life

Rushed the drawing on this one, as I was too eager to get to painting. Placed the jaw too low and it made all the features a little droopy. Lesson learned, never rush the drawing

This is a grid drawing.

After the last feedback I changed my setup slightly, to have my reference closer to my canvas and have a bit more space behind me so i can step back and don't have to turn my head to look at the reference. I think it already helped with this drawing, I cant spot anything that stands out at the moment. Considering how long the drawing took, I am slightly worried about painting this. Would it be a good idea to skip ahead to the drawing section and finish the course before coming back to this?

It is good to know new way of drawing faces. Although it took extra time to do it at my skill level, I could see that it would be very useful when I wanted good liking (accurate placing of the features) of the face of the person.
