    Hi man, welcome.
    Well the first advice anyone would give you is to train your overall proportions and planes of the face in lower subdivions first before actually going into more detail. Once you'll know how to do that you'll be free to create any believable face that you want, realistic or stylized. Even for stylized stuff it's great to know about what actually makes up a face and what lies under the skin.

    A good exercise is to take the default dynamesh sphere 32 in ZBrush and try to make a face as accurate as possible with few polygons, without ever increasing the resolution until you can't do anything more to improve it.

    Here the famous planes of the face reference :

    Welcome Francis!

    If you're looking to do character design, I'd really recommend looking into what "thumbnail sketching character design" is.

    From what I can tell, you would benefit greatly if you clarify your sculpt idea and concept in 2D first, and then recreate that in Zbrush.

    Or, better yet, I'd work from an existing piece of concept art or illustration.
