    This isn’t representing projections of a human head. This is representing projections of the globe if the globe had a giant human head drawn on it instead of the continents.

      But then you have to figure out how to transfer the drawing of the head onto the curved surface, and how you do that is going to determine how the projections look.

        No, you can ignore that part. The image isn’t showing how to accurately draw a head onto a surface, it’s showing how this given head drawing would look in different projections.

            Yes, again, that’s the point.

            It assumes the sphere projection is correct, and shows how each of the 2D projections isn’t correct. This isn’t hard.
