its too square along the top, and the chin looks a little pointy. the nose, between ur eyes, theres a dip, between ur forehead and where ur nose begins to form. urs comes from above the eyes, but it lokks very good for first go...i cudnt do that.

 

[Stormy]

hehe .... yea i have made the basic face shape and im just gunna keep trying to make the eyes, nose mouth.... i find the hardest thing is just keeping it neat

 

[Stormy]

i think the chin is ok.. i think its just abit of a funny angle... and i just moved the ridge above the eyes out abit more... i think it looks better

i thnk the dip cud b a little lower down. the back of the head is a bit long.

try not to use nurms, Its easier without it. Keep trying though. Its good for a first attempt. If u want video tutorials go to www.3dbuzz.com

 

[Stormy]

yea i have heard alot bout nurms but i have no idear what they are

 

[IchI]

hmmmm, so u didn;t use nurms on that model?

 

[Stormy]

The biggest problem is in the anatomy. The mesh construction is pretty good, but it has some problems. With organic models, you should keep and eye on your edge flow. Watch your edge loops and use the loops to help the flow and form of the mesh.

Rather than trying to explain it in words, I'll just illustrate it.

This also shows the proportion problems of the model. Take a look around the face reference images on http://www.fineart.sk.

Edit: Can we see the original (pre-subdivided) mesh?

 

[Stormy]

this is the pic i made it off.. my mesh follows it pretty well only difference is the mouth is open :/

but i see waht you mean... kinda look at the contors of the face
