Doc,

Go to www.3dtotal.com. Click on the tutorials link for Joan of Arc. It got a clear head tutorial, including the nose and mouth cuts.

I learned a lot about face modeling from Dan Ablan's Inside Lightwave 6 or 7 book, particularly the nose. A great tutorial is on thehobbitguy.com. He also has links to some other great tutorial sites.

Use wings 3D and then obj import it into maya.

The wings 3d forums have lots of great info and links as well for edgeloop modelling.

Also check out spiraloid if you haven't already.
