I use the sides of the nose to measure the distance of the eyes. I think she does just naturally have a larger gap there though. Thanks for the comments. I was on portraits for a little, now Im pretty much back on the memory drawing for a while. Just drawing legs over and over now to get the positions of all the Muscles memorized. Are you still dong the life drawing classes?

Ya, actually went there this morning. Went through somewhat of a rough time with it for the last month or so, as I had to come to terms with the limitations of trying to build upon the rough skeleton.
You were the first one that made me aware of it through your comments about line quality. It's quite horrifying how I regressed over the span of a few weeks, inept proportions,chicken-scratchy lines, outline, u name it.
Went back to figure drawing, a layered approach, and started using the 3 shapes more for the longer poses, measuring more, using negative spaces and angles more, which helped a lot.
Now I even start my imagination drawings with the 3 shapes, weird as that sounds, makes for a flatter, more outlined drawing, yet still somewhat of an improvement on the ones that preceded. Still quite at a loss on where this is all going though.

That's impressive. Love the tone and value matching, is really used to good effect: looked like a photo from the thumbnail.
Think the distance between the eyes might be a bit on the wide side, though I have a hard time saying for sure, used to spend hours fiddling with that on my portraits until it gets fuzzy and dunno what's what.
Awesome stuff.
