Any good way of texturing a face?

Tons of good links in this thread.

I would suggest painting instead of procedurals. To get good results from them you need to layer them fairly deep, Noise maps within Noise maps, etc. It can get very complicated very quickly.

Take a look at the examples in the links. These can be created fairly easily with the new Brush Dynamics in Photoshop 7.

Here is the head I´ve made

I think your model might benefit from the study of how polygonal surfaces should flow.

This is a great site.

Another one about flow.

You are off to a good start, but I would consider recreating the face from scratch, studying in particular how the experts model heads. You should closely examine the wireframes on this site, where the edges all go:

This is my first attempt on texturing her, far from good.

i really need some serious tips, please feel free to critic me as much as possible

[EricChadwick]

OK, here's a serious critique... remodel. I'm not kidding. See previous post. You're getting too far ahead too quickly. You can spend all the time you like on texturing, but with a poorly-designed model, you'll always be fighting its problems.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with Posm on this one - you really need to get a better head if you really want the final result to be realistic.

In my opinion, you should really just ignore texturing for now, and focus on improving your modelling skills. There is no point moving onto another facet of the process if you have really not even come close to mastering the modelling phase. Sorry to sound harsh, but this model really isn't very good :hmm:

Check out the links that Posm posted - and work hard on your modelling skills for now :)
