There are different ways to draw a person's head. Here are two examples of drawing in a cartoon and anime way.
Plan the character's head and shape. Create a shape that will show the shape of the character's head. Some curves and lines that should show are the cheeks, chin, and ear.
Add lines that will help plan where the human characteristics should be. The eyes, mouth, eyebrows, and nose.
Add the characteristics with the help of lines created.
Put more details that will help make the character look in cartoon.
Erase the lines of guidance as much as you can.
Put more details to make the character cartoonish. The shine on the cheek shows a way that humans cannot.
Add the hair of the character with details or not.
Color and finish the head of the character.
Plan on the position the character's head. Create a circle depending on how big the head will be, and add two lines that makes a cross in a vertical and horizontal way.
Create more horizontal lines for the character's nose, eyes, mouth, and hairline.
Add an ear on the side of the head with the help of the eyes line and nose line. On the eyes line, create two points for the eyes should be on. Add a V-shape on the nose line to be a guide for the nose.
Make the character's characteristic in a darker line (like a pen) to follow the traits you want.
Erase all the lines you don't need, but not the top of the circle because it will help for the hair.
Add more details to the character that makes it look like a person.
Use the circle to add the hair to be the top of the character's head.
Color and finish the head of the character.
Make yourself in a cartoon and anime way.
Experiment on the shapes and lines of characters to get use to the ways of cartoon and anime.
Look into anime and cartoon shows to get some examples of how the character's head are drawn.
