The most helpful way to think about accuracy is that it is a package deal. The angle of the jaw, curve of the nose, shape of the ear- they all succeed or fail with the same criteria and what's more, their accuracy/inaccuracy are tied together. I never win any new friends with this answer but in my experience it is the truth. For exercises that could help you improve things like this you could start with simplified block ins: https://www.patreon.com/posts/apa-block-in-80869614

I always have trouble accurately capturing the angle of the jaw. Any insights or suggestions?
