Warning: the download is huge because I left it at the size that I was working at.

This is my bad attempt at putting together some face drawing tips (I think I was confused as to whether I was doing a tutorial or just tips).

I took a fairly recent sketch of my idea for a Dragon Age character to use as an example. The three lower head shots are said character sketched out while actually trying to keep her features accurate (I can never manage consistent faces however).

The most useful thing will probably be the facial proportions, which I learned a while ago from I-don't-remember-where. I also stuck in a quick 'how I draw' to fill up space :P Generally I spent a lot more time with my computer sketches to get them right, pencil sketches are pretty much just like the picture. Where I start on the face varies randomly.
