Any good methods but getting the basic head shape down?
Loomis helped me with measurements but his method makes all my heads look too big and blocky.
You have missed the point of construction. You must make EVERYTHING 3D. Try drawing a skull and adding meat to it.

2D full-frontal construction will not help you as an artist. You must push yourself - more challenging angles and dimensions that will help you see the face as a full 3D object.
Loomis will help. Just looking at his construction will not. You must copy the plates and perfect his method.
When working traditionally, consider holding your work to a mirror.
