Stylized female head - advices / thought
Hi, there is my 1st head. I want to create a stylised character and have already practice to create parts of the face noses / eyes ... but when coming to the head I'm not sure about the overall result. I think that's not "bad" but I feel like I'm maybe missing something so I would like some advice or thought about what I'm doing.
Thanks for your help and your time. ^^
In red area was where I was thinking like I missed something.
After some tweak changing hairstyle
More tweak + full hair but unfinished with base headphones
I'm pretty sure I need to make the mouth a bit larger with more definition. Maybe fix something with the eyes too, i feel like they seems a bit to far from each other ? but i want to keep them "big".
still not sure about the headphones / front hair style and maybe add some eyebrow and will try other type of eyelashes.
the head is currently 311.552 polys

I was also thinking about the fact that she looks a bit cross-eyed like mrgesy said so I was thinking if using sphere for the eyes on this type of characters is good and if I should keep it and reshape the area of the eyes following the sphere or if I should reshape the sphere from the eyes to help a bit too ?
I start the body, even if I wanted to focus on the head I was thinking it could be fun to play a bit with it. Since I haven't got a big knowledge about female anatomy it's pretty "flat" at the moment but I tryed to respect the proportion and put some armor / cloth. It was just for fun so it could totaly change I was just trying to get some idea that's why it can look a bit odd for now ^^.
In general anime is well known for being too exageraed but very VERY simplistic. For instance the nose is usually represented by a single line or a pretty small curve. For womens they tend to have wide hips and are very thin and delicated. Mouths are also represnted by a single curve. There aren't too many 3d anime models to look for reference but this one is a pretty good example:

Check how simple the nose and the mouth are and the chin of the head is super pointy(i can't remember any anime without this feature) I don't know yet if you are aiming for a complete anime style or not, but it's ok if you want to stick with the reference image you just shown.
If you exagerate the body more your piece could stand out better i guess, like this:
PD: How did you make the hair? I really like it xD
maybe i shouldn't have push the hair down and I think I was to shy when raising the eyes. (forgot the fov was enable for this. The value is around 10 or so if I remember correctly)
I want to try to put some color variation for the hair later on so I mark it with a black hair
> Still a bit cross-eyed < o,...,o'
@Finalhart : I'm trying to pick some feature from anime characters and other from the reference image I link and mix them for the head but for the body I think i will try to do more anime style.
For the hair, I know about SKaoru work on Yamato and I love it so I just learn from the video ^^ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgsNJ4YkGvE&feature=youtu.be#t=03m50s
I think I will need to work on the chin an cheek + that cross-eyed thing.
(sorry I should have edit my previous post and include this)
think I just need to make them smaller then push them a bit away from the nose. But i will do that tomorrow ^^
1) Make the nose rounder and pointier
2) Mouth structure ( Sorry kinda hard to explain for this )
3) Make the lips more realistic
4) Cheek looks sharp and skinny due to smaller mouth ( Might be your preference ) . GIve the cheek some fat if needed.
