ok,

it depends how much time you have on your hands, if you need the head quickly, i would go for box polygon modeling, u can model it in low poly and then meshsmooth it if you need it in higher resolution.

If you have lots of time on your hands, you can model a head using patch modeling. u have to draw lines and make the vertices cross each other i think its 4 to make one face.

theres lots of tutorials on this over the internet.

good luck mate and have fun!

sakura you might want to check this out -> http://www.planetquake.com/q3manga/oldsite/modelling_tut1.htm a tut. for modeling a manga character in max (for quake 3). btw i think there's only 4 pages.. as the 5page gives you an error. that should get you well underway however. gl :thumbsup:
