I'll draw a picture and I will look perefect when I draw it. I can't see any flaws and when people go to critique it on the front side, they say the eyes and head are crooked. When I turn the per over to the back I can see my flaws and understand what people are talking about. Why is that?

Lol..it's the same for me when I turn a pic upside down...I think it's just that the brain works differently in different positions. A good excersise is to draw a plant...or something with a lot of detail,,,but instead of drawing the leaves...draw the spaces that you see inbetween the leaves...it sounds odd but it forces your mind to work in the opposite way that it usualy does.

It sounds like you are not putting guide lines on the sketch to keep you centered. Since our hand comes before our eyes from an angle it is easy to drift higher or lower while one works. Making a few straight and level lines to guide the placement of key features should help.
I am not an artist but my father is. He showed me this technique.

Look at your drawings in a mirror and you will see what needs to be corrected.
