Angle most problematic to me is the not-quite-bird's-eye view.

The just barely looking over the shoulder look. you know where you can see most of one eye and part of the nose. The cheeks and mouth always screw me up in that department.

my depth of perception with buildings etc is off, i shoulda paid attention to the "vanishing point" lessons in art class in h.s.

Just about any goddamn angle constitutes the hardest for me.

Bleh. I have trouble with everything, which is why my art (and I use the term loosely) consists of Egyptian-heiroglyph-style figures, where some slight adjustments result in one shot encompassing 180

Straight on anything is easy enough... but any of the odd angles (up, down, what-have-you) always turn out awful for us...

Hate this view. Never feels right.

Aside from the chin-and-ears-from-below thing: Behind. I don't know how, but drawing a character without drawing any of his/her face is extremely difficult for me. It must be the hair.

Anything that requires foreshortening drives me fricken crazy when I try to draw it.

I don't have trouble with 3/4ths, front, or behind. But I've been REALLY out of practice with profile. But then again, it's not a very popular position in framing.
