Had a few relevant looking 20's girls hanging about in my reference piles, here:

Anna May Wong c1920
Jetta Goudal

I've been loving the Gibson girl heads Ron Wells has been doing lately and was wondering if anyone on here has an adaptation of a Gibson girl. I particularly like "The Eternal Question" based on Evelyn Nesbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, who has a pretty fascinating/tragic life story.
I didn't used to think I'd want a girl head...

I've been really into the lady heads that Herb Auerbach has been doing lately. I know some people already mentioned Stefan Johnsson, and they definitely have a similar style with really heavy blacks, golds, and reds. These are pulled from his Instagram (@herbxauerbach).
PS. These are the first pics I've tried to attach to a reply, so hopefully they show up ok. Sorry if they didn't.

I think Megan Wilson at Analog in San Jose does nice lady heads. I really want to get a tattoo from her someday.

New to this site, I'm an apprentice and my new obsession is lady heads so I've been studying them like crazy and was surprised to find the Xam the Spaniard wasn't mentioned, he does beautiful ladies. That said my personal favorites are from Valerie Vargas.

I posted this in another section but I just got this last night, done by Ron Wells at Three Kings Tattoo in NY.

I'm sure I'm repeating everything here but...
Lady heads are super hard to make nice and super easy to fuck up.
I don't have examples or links but some tattooers who I think do/did awesome lady heads (and add their own flavour) are, in no particular order:
Chris Conn
Valerie Vargas
Isaac Fainkujen
Bart Bingham
Theo Mindell
Jack Rudy
Sleepy G
Bob Wicks
Justin Weatherholtz seems to be great at everything.
Steve Boltz
Chad Koeplinger
Chris Garver
Tim Hendricks
There are plenty of tattooers who constantly do great tattoos but these spring to mind mostly because of their individual subtleties with lady heads.
I also didn't include realistic style girl heads 'cos that's slightly different.
The girls on most of the zeis flash have some great little nuances too.

thank you guys. I own just about every "how yo draw the head" book there is and im always looking for more . i'm always studying them and real faces when i can trying to grasp and understand as best i can. so thanks for letting me feel like it's paying off even a little bit.

obvious lieber influenced some pretty heavy hitters after him but it seems his name is often left out. one of the greats in my opinion.

lately i have been really into how owen jensen, joe lieber, bert grimm ect. used to draw women. chubby and sort of off. it has a stripped down visceral quality to it. i really like the more fancy stuff everyone above has been doing as well but for some reason the older style stuff really speaks to me.
