I knew my nose/forehead was out but I was just using my eyes with no measuring at all, as I thought it is important not to rely on artifical help. Maybe there is a lesson here, don't rely on your eyes to tell you where you have gone wrong, use a set square or generated lines like you have done.
Hi Ngaire! You're most welcome!
Yes it is done with photoshop, and i believe the Windows built-in software can do this line-work too! And it's quite easy to draw...just load up the image in photoshop, and find the Line tool.
Adjust the thickness of the line you wish to use, and voila!

Yes, i fully agree with Debra. It's important for any artist to develop measuring skills - by hand - and not by using additional measuring devices. It is fundamental to develop your hand-eye coordination through this method. Be inspired by great artists from the times before they invented the camera obscura - names like Caravaggio, and Leonardo Da Vinci - and you'll find this is an invaluable asset as an artist.
