Description
This deviation is the result of a little drawing study I wanted to do... it took me ... 2 whole days to fulfill

Following my ltitle study about face structures resulting to This shade ref sheet , I wanted to find some main variations in my theoretical caucasin face structures.
For this, I need a lot of male pictures...
So I went to the biggest (I think) gallery of men photo @vishstudio . ALL the photo I used in this little study belongs to him and his models.

I identified about 30 photo of face / profile (5) that I could use (similar ligting particularly, kinda neutral expression), I didn't tried the 3/4 profile because too variable.

METHOD:
So I used the same methodology resizing the face with eye as a reference point since there is unsignificant variation of eye size between adult (Max 5 mm )
I tried to find cluster of face.: for that I overlayed the portraits ith reference with eye as a reference point and see the other structures differences.

CONCLUSION:
-You have an simplified greyscale face structure as a ref sheet.
-compared to my Face tutorial and  Face angles tutorials, there is ONE constant that never change in face structure : every proprotions related to the "eye length" symbolized in green here. for instance, the space between the 2 eyes, or between eye and ear...
(in caucasian at least: to be confirmed (I think not) in other population, I have suspicion this is a rule for others)
-that means:
1 eye length between the two eyes
1 eye length for the nose width (discussed)
2 eye length for the mouth (discussed)
3 (profile) eye length between eye and ear (profile)

______________

For those interested by details, we can discuss further...

RESULTS:
-fortunately, my instinct seemed correct: in caucasian population, Nico (from the initial study) does have a "standard /commun face structure". since 12 of the photos are similar (2 of them had a more narrow chin).
-the second most frequent face structure (10) is an overall smaller face (smaller nose, smaller chin...),
-5 have a "standard face struture" but with simply a smaller (not necesseraly narrow) chin
-1 individual had an overall bigger face structure: longer and bigger nose and chin proprotions
-1 individual had an overall wider face structure (but there are some features that I retrospectively suspect to be asian like)
-1 that is very different than the others.

PLEASE NOTE: (discussion)
-I'm only discussing about face structure: not beauty or anything. A face structure doesn't mean beauty that is subjetive.
-this is a sample of "caucasian" (white) people, it seem one of them may be asian though without me noticing.
-not sure if Vishstudio has a reproductive representation of ALL caucasian structure. I don't know the country of his model... so there may be a bias. Proof is there is 1 that I couldn't fit with others! so except for the "eye length" proportion rule, you can change most parameters.
-talking about the "eye length" rule: nose and mouth widths may be slightly different but small sample may be a biais to detect these differences.
-"why these clusters? we all look different!", well that's true indeed, I'm neurologist so I do know human brain is a fascinating thing... we can detct very slight differences in populations that we know, but everyone expermented a "all asian/black/white have the same face " (from someone of an other ethnicities), or all the dogs/cats/monkeys look the same... but hey, they do look different!
The point here is to find good caucasian face structure when you wnat to draw a caucasian from nothing
-"what's the point of this?": personal interest I guess. Im sure google and facebook have all precise data (from our data) already, you know, face recognition and all this stuff. but seems like I don't find useful tips for drawing. f someone do have comprehensive data for me, please tell me, I wont need to further study photos of people xD
-"what's next?": well... asian, african, female... omg...
