Great reference Really great reference - breaks down how to sketch noses, eyes, etc. and shows some step by step portraits - each with different skin tones and hair colors. This also breaks down the relationship of nose, eye, etc if the face is turned.
Oil Portraits Step by Step Easy to follow, showing the same steps for different types of people ie redhead, blond male and female, different lighting. I found the book useful for basics.
