How to draw a face in profile

In this video I’m sharing an approach for measuring and capturing accurate likeness of someone in profile. I’ll be using a square, focussing on mapping features and drawing using straight lines from basic blocky shapes through to detail, using measurement to help ensure drawing accuracy. The method I’m going to describe starts with something that is often referred to as a visual block in. It’s one way of capturing likeness but not the only way. But recommend giving this a whirl and seeing if it works for you!
