I was flicking through my anatomy book when I came across a diagram showing the layers and I thought, must draw that.  In the book its more a line diagram and was only the top half, but haven’t drawn a face in a long time so thought I would combine the two.

I can see what Is wrong with the face straight off; the right eye needs to come down and be resized (seem to do that a lot with faces) , the chin needs to come out more and the cheek realigned, and finally the nose shorten. I was very tempted to crop this picture just above the tip of the nose, but that’s what its like in my sketchbook and this wouldn’t be a true online version of, If I edited my work.

I know a workmen should never blame his tools, but could of done with a better pad as well. I normally use the WH Smiths 135gsm sketch pad, which most of the time is fine, but with where I was mainly using the rubber to work the skin I was running into problems in some areas – which you can see if you zoom in on the picture.
