Description
Hey all,The last couple of days have helped remind me of why I love the dA community so much.
In an attempt to give back I wanted to do some reference guides to help people who may be struggling with perspective.
While You can just as easily take a photograph for what you need reference for I find it equally helpful to see how someone would paint it.
Unfortuantely, while making the reference, I realize that I still have a lot to learn about perspective myself. xD But hopefully this will be a good starting point to help people get the general idea.
If anyone finds this helpful, I'll try to keep adding more angles and clean up the existing ones.

Your 3/4 views are great however your side and down profile are a little off.
It must have been a very educational process

Thanks! Ah I see, I've been working on this for a while yesterday so I may need to step back a day or two before I can look at it objectively. But do you mind telling me what you see that is off? I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
Yea, it was very educational! xD Definitely shows that I still have a lot to learn. ^^

For the side, the head appears bulbous at the top, beacuse the top of the skull is too round.
If you look at this reference the shape is more neutral and the skull top is slightly flat. [link]
for the down profile the eyes/eyebrows are too straight, when you look down your eyes/eyebrows
usually have a curve to them, The chin, in that angle would still be pronounced and the nose
would be bigger as the full bridge of the nose shows at that angle. Like this picture [link]
I hope my observations are helpful

Yes, thank you! Your insight has been very helpful and I appreciate you linking me some good references. ^^
When I get some free time to edit, do you mind if I note you to check my proportions?
