Is drawing this angled anime face a crutch? Its 97% of these images

that angle is super easy. you dont have to put any effort into the nose, and its almost flat so you dont have to put any thought into perspective. it also means you dont need to put any work into shading the cheek bones, because the profile does all the work.

in short: a crutch if you suck and dont know how to work with other angles, but its not a bad angle to use. people use that angle for photography because it's attractive anyway.

They are usually so poorly drawn that you can't exactly determine the angle. That gives the illusion of variation as the viewers mind try to make sense of the image. That way you can have poor technique but still feel like a pro.
