Who hates side views?

Description

***Another tip, since I was running out of room, lol- Don't draw the ear before you've drawn the rest of the face and head. It's almost guaranteed to end up in the wrong spot. And trust me, the ear in the wrong place might seem subtle but it looks really odd! -The ear should start where the eye ends and end where the lips start.

(Seriously, you'll be staring at it going... "Why the hell doesn't this look right!")

So... I dun know about anyone else... but I f'ing HATE side views. They have always been the most difficult facial position to draw for me, and you see tons of facial tutorials around but none that focus on this evil, known as "the profile" lol.

so here are some things that have helped me draw them better.
It's still an area I have issues with, so this is not by any means perfectly done.

Hope my brush stroke writing isn't too difficult to read. I tried to make it as neat as possible. ^^" I have horrible hand writing/printing. I know.

Awesome! Great help!

You wouldn't happen to have any advice on transfering proportions from a head in say a front or 3/4 view and finding out how to use those to create an accurate profile view? That would be uber helpful. ^_^
