Angle most problematic to me is the not-quite-bird's-eye view.
Faith is what credulity becomes when it finally achieves escape velocity from the constraints of terrestrial discourse- reasonableness, internal coherence, civility, and candor. Thus, the men who commited the atrocities of September 11 were neither cowards nor lunatics of any sort, but Men of Faith- perfect faith- and this, it must finally be acknowleged, is a terrible thing to be.

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.
I remember caring... It was nice.

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... Image

Camera cut through the rib cage, looking up through the heart at the esophagus. And I use it so many times, too!
This is not a signature.

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.
Warning: This poster regularly makes unintentionally sexual posts. Or at least "unintentional" is what she claims...

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

Foreshortening is THE DEVIL.

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.
