You are welcome Jenni.

As it happens, I just learned this new technique with the line tool, in Photoshop, with this digital demo. I measured both the photo and pastel from the chin to the eye. Then with a calculator I matched them both in scale. Overlaying the photo over the pastel in the best possible registration, I drew in the guidelines over the photo, then hid the photo layer to show the lines over the pastel. It's neat!

PS: Jenni, you may also notice that her forehead should be proportionally taller.... another shift to consider! Hint: Look at the hairline between the two images.
