I also want to thank you for doing this cinna!! It's so awesome of you.

And a question I have, what technique do you recommend for doing 3/4 views or front faced views? I always struggle with doing anything related to those and tend to feel burnt out pretty quickly when they don't line up right. So that always results in me wanting to not attempt anything like that and stick to left/right side views. I've tried to follow a few guides before, but they just never click with me or end up with me feeling like I've copied off of it too much, aha.

okay this might be something that nobody does but it's helped me a bit in the past when i was struggling with face angles (and i still do sometimes) :')
i like to make a little doodle on the side to just see how a profile drawing would look, and i draw a couple 'guide lines' in different colors to sort of shape out where things should go!
important things to take into account are how the angle will warp the length and shape of things. and if you're struggling a ton, i've even made a simple playdough(? playdoh?) structure of the face, and i can move it to get the right face angle! it sort of acts as a 3d reference.

i hope this helps, and good luck with your different face views! they are tough in my opinion so don't let any difficulties push you down! <3

I only just saw this since it got pushed back in my oekaki notifications, but thank you so much cinna for your help!!
This helps so much better than the guides I've been looking at and I can now see why, aha. Also, thank you for the good luck! I'm going to definitely test this out when I get time <3
