Tried my hand at that picture of Robert Pattinson in The Lighthouse. It looks elongated and the right eye is off but how do I improve my visual measuring without making the same shitty portrait a hundred times?

>Trace references. Feel the curves and shapes. >Break references into shapes (five sides at most), capture the outermost shape too.
>Then use the reference as you draw, but don't trace.
>Look at the reference for a set amount of time, then hide it and draw from memory. Then draw while looking at the reference. Repeat until you can draw perfectly from memory.
>Do blind/modified/continuous contours of your subject/reference before you draw.
