Some faces like the Stephen King one above demand that you break that simple "pulley" rule and squash the eyes and nose together in the center. When that happens, the excess force that used to exist as distance between the eyes and nose has to go somewhere... so in King's case it lies as a greater distance between the nose and mouth, and a more massive lower face.

I like the pulley idea, although I noticed it doesn't seem to apply to your Stephen King sketch. His eyes are close together but his nose is also really close to his eyes. Could you explain why you broke the general rule in this case? I guess it's because of the huge gap between his nose and mouth?? Thanks Dan This is really great Tom.
