Problem with edge looping on face!

[gunslingerblack]

take a look at this wip of mine

as you can see your edgeloops are slightly in the wrong area, you need to analyze the muscular structure of the face so that it will deform properly when animated

So should I start over? Is the topology far from being fixed?:shrug:

[stouckol]

yes start over ! it's the best way to learn...

and look at this

good luck :thumbsup:

anatomy is a good place to start, but be careful not to follow them piece by piece as fat is distributed differently on facial types.

But for topology, this forum is full with great topology and edge flow.
But if you need to know how to get started on it, maybe take a look at my timelapse i did in my speed models thread (first link in my sig).

Thanks guys! I'm doing it over keeping in mind of my topology

I can't remember who made this, but it helped me alot :)

Good luck.
