reallly struggling with this style of design

[RetroDesire]

two things in the picture first the perspective lines, is this done with a perspective tool? also the outline of the face, i see this a lot and wouldn't have a clue where to start

The perspective lines should be easy, just create a row of vertical lines, select all the lines together, switch to the Node Tool, select all of the top nodes, set Transform Mode and resize the selection – see attached video.

For the face you should be able to repeatedly use the Contour Tool, just make sure that you make a duplicate of the original before using the tool on the duplicate each time.

Not neccesarily, you can get the same effect via just a rect and accordingly placed and rotated lines (rects in my case in order to give them some noise fill). That finally then gives some sort of depth visual illusion. - So it's not like the star wars intro, which would need some perspective space adjustment.

That's basically just an arrangement of bigger to smaller center-point placed head strokes, so more a matter of accurate copy/paste and size wise distribution.

No, it looks more like a stepped blend from a keyhole shape to a larger head shape.
