Use references and also push yourself to draw from imagination, use a variety of angles to challenge your drawing ability.

I design these tutorials to help people actually develop the skills of drawing instead of just talking about theory.
I have spoken to many artists who cant name the specific parts of anatomy but still create gorgeous drawings because they have trained themselves to draw.
Dont fall for the illusion that reading and watching tutorials is all it takes, its tempting because its easier but it wont help you in the end. I recommend only seeking out deeper knowledge once you are able to get the basic structures down and are comfortable with the most foundational skills.
I will be making more tutorials for all the features of the face and the rest of the anatomy, so stick around if you want more!

Use a system of practice like the worksheets on this site or any other system you find useful such as drawing from photo reference 20mins per day. Review your own work: take a photo of your drawings using your phone and flip the image horizontally using editing software to see mistakes.
This method can help you re-see the image because we tend to overlook mistakes due to our brains getting used to the drawing. Take time to doodle and have fun, never get too caught up in improving at the cost of the enjoyment that comes with drawing.

Step 2. Pick Direction Decide which direction the head is facing, I have drawn an arrow and a small box that represents the orientation of the head we are drawing. Step 3. Side Plane On the box that shows the direction of the head you can see I have drawn a small circle. Step 4. Brow Line and Center Line Add the brow line this is where the eyebrows would go and the eyes would fall underneath this line and the center line of the face.
Step 5. Chin Draw a small line where the chin will go, you can change the look of the face by drawing this line either further up or lower down. Step 6. Ear Line Returning to the circle we drew earlier, draw a line that begins the jaw and also defines where the ear will go. Step 7. Jaw Connect the chin line and ear line and create the shape of the jaw.
Step 8. Eye Sockets Draw a line below the brow line that is sunken into the sphere, this region is where the eyes will go. Step 9. Cheek Connect the bottom line of the eye sockets with the chin to define the cheek on the far side.
Step Second Cheek Draw a curved line from the end of the chin up towards the circle we drew in step 2, this helps define the side plane of the face and also the cheek bone. Neck Add a cylinder to the base of the neck, make sure to leave space underneath the chin and also some space at the back of the sphere. Shading Add some shading underneath the jaw so give the drawing some dimension.
