Michael,
Thank you for your many fine postings lately, I really admire your honest struggle with basic problems. One should never end starting up at a fresh approach.
I have a suggestion that you might want to try at the open studio.
I see some general problems in getting the profile right and I wonder if you settle too soon on the placement of the eyes and then finish them off with highlights and all.
My suggestion is that you draw the profile and the nearest eye only, untill you have the three dimentional headshape correct. Only mark the eye with a darker value and no highlights at all.
Then, but only when everything is in place, you can suggest the far eye. This will give you the freedom to model the head like a sculptor.
I speak from experience and I would like to see if it works for others as well.
