On Likeness

I've been having trouble capturing likenesses lately, and the best tip I've heard so far is that likeness doesn't exist in the lines or shapes, but in the planes. That is, to capture a person's likeness, it's imperative to understand what they look like from all angles and then emphasize those 3-dimensional features that are unique to that person.
