In an actual person, there’s no separation between the contour and the form on the inside. So in the drawing, the tonal structure should fit precisely into the linear framework of the contour. Imagine that the contour of this drawing is the coastline of an island. Land on the chin and hike into the interior. Notice that the forms of the chin on the inside correspond to the shape of the chin’s contour on the outside. This correspondence is achieved by careful planning in the block-in and contour phases of the drawing.
