Build values gradually
Blend tones smoothly
Keep edges soft where needed
Sharpen details in focal areas
Draw individual features carefully
Study eyelids, lashes, and pupils
Shape the lips with volume
Render the nose with planes
Indicate skin texture subtly
Compare angles constantly
Practice from different viewpoints
Use mirrors to check mistakes
Draw many studies regularly
Simplify complex forms
Work from large shapes to small details
Keep the head in perspective
Pay attention to hair volume
Separate hair into masses
Observe expression and anatomy together
