Creepy Old Man Head!
Hey I'm new to this and petty new to zbrush. Thought I'd have a go at my first sculpt using the programme. Didn't really have any reference or person in mind just looked at a few photos and did what came to me.
Just looking for any pointers on what I could improve or what I may have done wrong. I know some of the anatomy may be wrong but I wanted to go for a kind of exaggerated look.
Anyone know why my image isn't working? I'm new here if you couldn't of guessed

As far as pointers go, exaggeration and stylization only really work after you've got a solid understanding of reality. Until you get a better handle on anatomy and proportions, its best to stick as closely to reference as possible. Too often, beginners will use those words (exaggeration and stylization) to excuse a poor understanding of the fundamentals. When you intimately know the anatomy, you can exaggerate specific features with specific goals. But until that point, any deviations from the reference tends to just be guess work, and will not look right. I was guilty of this when I first started.
You're on the right track, just keep practicing. Stop to check your proportions frequently, and study the planes of the face before you dive into detailed anatomy.
