UPDATE: "Draw Better Portraits Through the Study of Anatomy" my new full portrait anatomy course is finally here! https://app.gumroad.com/products/DDkuL

I'm exited to try this POV camera angle in showing how to use your pencil as a measuring tool. Example: Comparative Measuring. I also used the Reilly Method (aka Head Abstraction) techniques in this exercise. My goal is to explain how to use the pencil and thumb in measuring and then comparing distances, angles and relationships on a portrait.
Please please let me know if this POV camera angle is helpful or not. It was difficult keeping my hand steady as I looked on the camera screen making my measurements. I may use the Canon camera next time if this POV video seems to be a good thing.
