This is an excellent demonstration, in part because having the centerline placed on an actual face helps to reinforce the notion that one is actually sketching a three-dimensional figure when sketching.

@mrdudy8 You would put it straight up and down, yes. He didn't say it in this video, but the center-line trick is also used for us to measure at certain degrees of "asymmetrical-ity" of things in the face. Besides, even this tutor's face is crooked in numerous parts.  It doesn't effect this exercise.

@NandoCali805 I'm not the guy here, but from my experience, the time it takes to draws varies to your level of artistic confidence, and how detailed/realistic or simplified the style is... hard to say.. anything you had in mind?
