Perspective view and Front view, which one should be trusted?

Just realized, when I tried to adjust a girl's face shape, the Perspective view and Front view looks like different person.

So which view I should trust during shape adjusting? And which one I can get in later renderings?

    Front view, left view etc. are orthogonal view, i.e. not something you can achieve in real life.

    Real life will be a perspective view. But I would recommend setting up a camera and use that for your final decisions, as the focal length set in the camera also will affect how the character is seen.

    Never use Front View to adjust face or body shape as there's no perspectives. Using Perspective View or a Camera will be both fine as their default focal length are the same 65mm, you will get the same rendering result with a default camera afterwards. Normally the focal length of human eyes is 50mm, so setting the value b/t 50mm - 85mm in a Camera will be appropriate for adjusting face shape. Recommend 85mm which is a 'gold focal length', just like we use an 85mm fixed FL lens on DSLR for portrait photograthy...

    The camera's lens focal length manages the amount of distortion. Less than 50mm will lead to significant distortion.

    I agree about using a camera with a known focal length. 90-105mm tend to be the range professional photographers use for portraits as it is apparantly 'more flattering' to the subject. 50mm is supposed to be similar to the view a normal eye receives.

    In different situations you may need different camera views. If you are, say, posing a character against a prop, it can be difficult to be certain the character really is touching the prop with the perspective view. In that situation, the orthogonal views can help a lot. But always check afterwards with a perspective view to confirm that it looks right.

    Regards,

    OK, thank you all! 

    Now I understood, trust perspective view or camera view, use default 65mm focal length or the value between 50-85-90-105mm.
