Drawing a 3-D Head

I attended a drawing class at the National Portrait Gallery.  I love these classes because it is open to all skill levels, taught by a talented instructor and it is FREE!

Tips that I learn to drawing a three-dimensional head: add value (shading); two sides are symmetrical; widest part of the head is just above the ear and marks the top half bottom half; eye socket area angles down; the largest plane of the face includes cheeks, bisecting nose, temple to temple, eye socket to the upper lip-like a triangle; nasal bone is a pyramid; and the side planes reach to the back of the head and include the cheek/jaw bone area.

Below are pictures I drew based on the portraits at the gallery.
