I'd like to learn everything there is about faces and heads in general, three-dimensionality of them, basically every nuance.

What would be the best book/tutorial for that? I want to become a master in portrait painting.

you don't become a master via tutorial

proko is a good start, if you have a basic understanding of perspective.

Start from the bottom up then. Learn the skull, learn the muscles, the fat deposits, the facial features. Ideally buy a medically accurate skull and an Asaro Head to learn the basic planes and structure. Learn some construction from as many different sources as possible--Loomis, Bridgman, Reilly, Russian Academies, Kevin Chen, Hogarth, Hampton, Huston, and so on. Do lots of self portraits, drawing from life, drawing from photos. Sculpt the head. Study masters.

Anyone have that pic of two drawings of the same face side by side, one with common mistakes, the other showing better ways to do it? Focuses mostly on edges and tone, and how to keep the portrait from looking flat.

This helped me a lot when I was in high school. I learned a lot about the different parts of the head and face and there is a cool section about how the face changes as a person ages, with an illustration showing the changes for every 5 years of age.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
