To go along with my head tutorial, here are some head and nose shapes for you. They are not much, but notice how the face appears more masculine as the jaw gets wider, and much more feminine when the lines are rounded. There are literally an infinite number of shapes out there so experiment with wider jaws, narrower jaws, angular jaws you can cut yourself on… I haven’t done much with the cheekbones here but you can have them harsh, smooth, a little lower or higher. I recommend collecting images of real life actors you are fond of and examining how their face shape differs from each other and convert some of their more distinctive features into manga form. There is nothing like examining real life people to improve your manga drawing. Failing that have a look at the characters from your favourite manga's. It’s a fun way to practice and you will learn more than I can teach you here so off you go!
