Techniques for drawing female faces and the ratios of facial features

Student
Does the character’s face look balanced to you? The eyes, mouth, and everything else.

Teacher
Well done! You’ve had a really great go at a difficult lesson! The hair is well drawn from a difficult angle! The challenge of practicing capturing the face in three dimensions is great!

The hair looks good, but the placement of the facial features needs some work. You may want to use ratios for positioning the facial features. As shown in the attached image, adjust the ratio from the front view to match the angle.
Keep up the good work!
