Thank you for this! I didn't look at it at first, because it said "muscle tutorial." But this is absolutely what I was looking for (facial features).

Just copied the first third of this out into a notebook using a sharpie. Was very satisfying and I felt like my hands were learning , not just my eyes. I'm going to draw the whole thing, then draw all the rest of the tutes. Hopefully I will have up skilled by the time it's all done :)

What do you usually do for practice? I want to begin a drawing practice again after 5yr lapse but am struggling to find direction. Any advice is appreciated.

What a great idea!!

I would say the secret to improving is a constrant stream of small, focused goals so your brain knows what to work on ("better at drawing" is too nebulous and results in slower progress than something like "be able to accurately place all of the major features of the head in 30 seconds or less"), and a regularly scheduled and defined practice regimen.
