I've read of this eye measurement methodology. Too hard for me to keep up with, and those diagrams of a full figures surveyed with eyes all over the figure -- it seemed too weird. Anyway, I absolutely defy anyone here to accurately measure an eye's width and transcribe it elsewhere, much less over and over. The only eye's width I've ever found practical is -- in the eyes, of course -- and then between the eyes.
The thing I love about Daniel Greene's instructional videos is that he sets up the anatomical proportions as a presumption. He's seen the archetype so many times, he knows what to expect. But THEN, he checks his assumptions against the model, and if the archetypical landmarks are WRONG this time, he changes them. Greene's methodology can carve hours, days or weeks off the wretching that goes into getting started, much less getting a likeness.
