here's an update

Very good start Ed.

Couple of things I noticed, but not sure if that's what you wanted...

-lower lip very flat. Perhaps allow it to curve into the mouth?
-Area between the upper lip and the nose....the septum I think it's called seems very wide.
-The ridge of the nose seems really high.

Again, it all depends on what you want.

Here are some more updates and I'm having a problem with the corner of the lips... if anyone can see how to fix it let me know.

here is a wire of the problem area.

Thank you for your criqs. I'm working from photo refs. and well here I'll post a few of the images I'm working from and you can see if I'm off by a lot... (I'm sure I am)

two words for you, PARALLAX EFFECT. my suggestion would be to scale the face along the y axis a bit to make it larger than the refrence image, that way, from the perspective, it will look approxamately the same, assuming you are using an average perspective angle (20°-65°)

other than that, looks good so far, keep up the good work:thumbsup:

Yes, based on your reference, this looks really good. Excellent work.

The corner of the mouth is difficult. I try not to use a perfect loop for the mouth area, so that I have one loop going from the bottom lip into the corner and inside the mouth, then I have one loop from the top lip going to the corner, but then around the corner...if that makes sense. So basically, I don't try to connect the loop that your using now to create the sharp outer edge of the lips, I try to offset it by one span. I find that this gives less tension in the corner.

I hope that helps somewhat

*EDIT* Forgot to add the other images.... Here's what I have so far... that hands and feet suck but I'm out of time...so they'll have to do for right now.

-Dilber....I'm not sure what you mean??? Do you mean that I should move the corner of the loops around the lips to the inside of the mouth?
