The ideas you use for conveying the concepts, like the soccer ball and the concave and convex plates are perfect. I hope to see more tutorials soon. Thanks. Your tutorials are really helpful!

I might write another post about it in the future or include a better explanation in a portrait book I'm writing. Can't promise anything soon. The best I can do in a comment is to mention that the width of the oval depends on the twisting (y-axis) of the head. Find the part where the forehead begins to become the side of the head - this is where the side of the oval starts. The height of the oval is always the same. Refer to the Loomis book to see the relationship between the ball and the oval. Hope this helps! Richard - many people have a hard time understanding the oval. where do you place it and how big?
