337.5 degrees slight three-quarter view head reference
Minimal head at 337.5 degrees. Compare the line drawing with the tonal study.


Drawing this angle
At 337.5 degrees, the head is nearly back to the front. Both sides of the face are visible, with a modest difference in their widths. Begin with the overall outline and place the nose slightly off the middle of that shape as the reference indicates. Check the brow and mouth separately so they follow the same turn without becoming parallel flat lines pasted across the face.
Look at the far cheek beside the nose and the amount of ear visible on each side. These small relationships help distinguish a slight turn from a front view with misplaced features. Compare the jaw corners and the position of the chin under the nose. Use the tonal drawing to see how the broader cheek surface wraps away. Finish with a three-sketch exercise at 315, 337.5 and 0 degrees: keep the head size consistent and watch the far-side spaces open as the rotation reaches the front.
