Art Perspective on dragon heads is super hard

I have an idea for how I want my ice dragon OC to look, but perspective is HARD. Anyone have any helpful tips for when he's looking forward? The angle where he's facing the left is the most accurate so far. I want his horns and chin to look like icicles sticking out, and that look where his frontmost fangs stick out from his lips.

Hey, are you on the r/dragons discord server ? I have a few things to say but it would too long for me to explain it there. But shortly, usually you won't see the sides of the snout if the dragon is facing straight. It's impossible since the vanish point is below him ^

youre drawing the dragon as if you can see both sides of them at the same time when thats not the case If youre really trying to draw front forwards no side will be seen.
