That's just so. "Formulae" for the average head construction of children is less noted in most "how to" books, observation from the life is most valuable. Another "earmark" of the very young is outsized eyes . . .

For another source of "average construction" of the head and figure for all ages, see Andrew Loomis' Figure Drawing for All Its Worth Viking Press, 1942
