as well, the neck starts from behind the ears it wouldn't be allllll that wrong if your ears were in the right spot.

Even though the video is very comic-book stylistically, no harm in it. The thing is you didn't even follow the guidelines in the video. You went off on your own tangent. Even the simple measurement of the eyes being half way down the head. You need to draw a lot more if you want to improve man!

I'm guessing you're in high school or whatever. Can you take art there?

You've improved since the first sketch at least :)

Be sure to keep these main points in the back of your head while you're doing faces (I didn't measure this so it's not perfect):


After doing your rough sketch of the face outline, I would recommend to measure out the exact middle with a ruler. Use that to ensure that your facial characteristics are somewhat symmetrical. After awhile of doing this, you'll begin to recognize the middle more accurately and won't need to measure it out.

One of the crucial aspects of drawing is knowing your shapes. Once you can accurately draw each of the main ones, you can basically draw anything.
It may be worth it to focus more on drawing these shapes for now. I know that it might be boring, but we've all done it to an extent.

4 classes a day really holds back my options.
