this is my first attempt at doing some serious (and i use the term lightly) subdivision modeling, my first head. based on wiro's subdiv tute (http://www.secondreality.ch/tutorials/modelling/head.html) this is a fairly generic head with no template images used, more for learning the tools and techniques than aiming for a particular final result.

any feedback is greatly appreciated (feel free to be harsh), i know there's a really ugly tri just under where the ear should be and i could use some ideas on fixing that :) thanks.

It's looking good so far. Don't forget to bring down the upper lid so that it partially covers the top of the iris. Otherwise you get the "deer in the headlights" look.
Here's one way to fix your tri:

i think this is getting to the point where i've learned a bunch and made a bunch of mistakes, and now i'm leaning towards starting over and creating all new mistakes :D i'll prob smooth it and render it out just for kicks tho. any comments welcome, thanks.

Do the ear tutorial too. And put it all together. Then start over.
Great work so far.
