Personally, I don't really like using that many guidelines and the order in which you draw things like the face (like how some people start drawing a character from their torso or hands) can mean a lot for your art quality and overall comfort. Maybe try figuring out where you prefer to start? Also, don't be afraid to draw something messy or inaccurate right now, since you're just beginning the end result shouldn't be your biggest concern yet. I recommend using a lot of references and trying to redraw their essence, so for a fluid pose trying to capture just the proportions and general pose or for a hand capturing its rough shape (and sectioning off its different parts/joints); it helps a lot more for getting better than immediately jumping to making fully finished pieces every time. It's totally fine to still be perfectionistic about them sometimes, but if you always stick to wanting it all to look clean and entirely accurate then not just will that probably hinder your learning a bit but you'll end up finding that you never really get to that perfection. There's pretty much always something that can be improved upon no matter if you started drawing a month ago or if you've been doing it for over a decade, and so improving and finishing artworks tends to come with putting your perfectionism aside. Basically TLDR: drawing badly can be good sometimes if it means getting better muscle memory :)
When drawing the face from the front view you should try cutting the sides of the circle, doing this you will be able to put the ears in a more comfortable way and will give the head a skull shape, another thing you shoul pay attention is on the size of the chin, don't make it too long, you should probably draw using references, copying what you see is the best way of learning
There's a lot of advice here, but I'd say it's fine to just use a reference for a while. Muscle memory can help, so learning off of a reference is a decent way to start. It isn't illegal, just pull up a picture of someone's face and start from there. (The main issue tho is the shape of the head, the eyes, nose, and mouth are really well done!)
Ik people have probably already said it but a good practice to do is to use reference media and to trace over drawings and images to get a better understanding of shape and form Using 3d shapes like spheres and cylinders also help a lot with creating images

I'll try to be less of a perfectionist for now

I'll try that

I recommend trying the Loomis method for drawing the head
I'll try that

I've been meaning to trace over stuff I just keep forgetting
YESS KEEP GOING
OK 👍
keep it up dude this is awesome
Thanks, will do!
LADS HE'S STILL TRYING LET'S GO
I won't stop trying
