Description
Ok this is nothing greatly detailed. I was doodling skulls and stuff and this is more like a plan for a more polished tutorial.Some basic things on facial anatomy and how I proceed to sketch a face and detail it, what I start with, what defines what, etc.
Of course a face is something very complex, it can be described with tons of words and drawings and examples, as I didn't do here.

Thank you for pointing that out! Skulls are more boxy than those "How to Draw..." books would have you believe. I have seen comic artists who do this as well! Drives me nuts! I always messed up when I used spheres. So I combined them with a box to make a series of ovals. Which is how I like to keep my characters. Sure, it makes them rather lanky, but whatever.

Like Einstein said "If you can't explain it simply, it means that you don't understand it well enough" and you explained it rather simply.
Thanks for the tip

This is great for face/head/skull study, I'm sure this will help a lot with drawing heads/faces/skulls from different angels.
