I mostly traced the outline, and eyeballed the landmarks that I couldn't view through the paper; I have a tough time getting proportions right when I'm working on something large, and it saved me the hassle of individually measuring every aspect so I could get it on paper accurately. I'll be doing a lot of work beyond it, as my traced lines aren't very neat, and the character has big hair and wears big clothes.
The areas of my artwork that I try and improve on come in cycles. A few months ago I was trying to get my poses better; then it was folds in clothing; currently I'm working on individual features. When it comes to overall proportions, I KNOW when I do something wrong, but a) it's difficult to see what the exact error is, and b) by the time I realize I've generally put a lot of detail in the image. Also, that's not what I currently have the drive to improve on, so by my reckoning it's better to use a bit of a shortcut than get stuck on that one aspect until Christmas Eve, and have to give a rushed piece of junk.
Sorry....
