Another thought:
Patt,
A good tried and true centuries-old technique to get the placement and drawing right, and spot-on, is the Grid Method. It's worth a try, and just as effective as tracing or projection. Make certain the aspect ratio of the start grid on the reference and the applied grid on the painting are the same (!) or you may get the face too wide or too tall. It is easy to get right. Print a spare reference image for the grid lines.
Also print a reference to scale with your painting. That's always a big visual help!
Good luck!
Garth
