My Head

[Trapezium]

Taper your cranium quite a bit more from the front and look at the side view, the upper back portion of your model almost comes to a point. It's starting to look nice though. Maybe get a couple more photos with a stocking or cap on to see the shape of your head.

Other than the jaw, the facial structure looks really good. I think that the shader, though cool looking SSS,is obscuring allot of the details in your modeling. The nose area is modeled very nicely but you can't really see it with your shader and lighting. How are your reflections set up? If you're only using HDRI to light change to area lights until you get it modeled and shaded then work with HDRI while tweaking your render parameters.

Keep it up,

Wow, this is looking much better!

But i was right about the topology, you got it all wrong. You should really put this in observation when modelling something like a head - something that is bound to be deformed and animated.

Checkout www.antropus.com for his head modelling tutorial, i think that you can find a great explanation about the topology and how the edge loops should follow it.

You can checkout my head too (also a self portrait! my first head )

I also missed some proportions since im not very familiar with human anatomy. I plan to buy the anatomy for artists book, although a lot of useful stuff can be found on www.fineart.sk.





this is important, the edges around the mouth should follow it like this



hope this helps too, the ear is one of the hardest things to model on the head


its not that important to keep all polies quads on it, because it will hardly be deformed at all
but all around, you should try to keep it in quads only

hi dusan! thank you for uesfull coments and links! i`ll try to follow it. i agree with you about ear, i also think this is one of the hardest things to model. that is why i didn`t model it yet. and can you show your head without meshsmoth? this is very intresting for me.

To me the eyes look a little wide/large when compared with the lips. But looking good though! I couldn't even draw my face let alone model it!

[Shishok]

hi! its me again.

my wrong topology

and ear. looks primitive, isn`t it?

[percydaman]

coming alot quite nicely. If the model isn't going to be animated, then its topology isn't nearly as important.

[Shishok]

thanks

Are you trying to "save" your actual look so in 20 years you will "load" your old "good" looking face?
