In general, the center of the eyes sit slightly above the vertical center line of the head. This is true of all races. There is plenty of variation though, but the key is to understand the norm and making a choice to branch out or stylize.
The same goes for eyes. You have them too large and too wide apart. A lot of Asian art tends to make the eyes too large, combined with the brain's natural tendency to focus on the eyes and perceive eyes as larger anyway, leads to this problem when sculpting.
Bridge of the nose is too wide, or just undefined. Even on asians, where that bridge is diminished, there is still more definition than that.
Overall, I see that you are getting ahead of yourself and trying to do detail sculpting work before solid forms and places of the face are setup. Get the nose's basic forms solidified, get the planes of the face setup, get the ear in better shape to sculpt on later. Generally drop the subd level down much lower than you're working, and don't be afraid to throw away the sculpting work you've already done at high detail, it will all change anyway once you fix the current problems.
Lastly, it helps to work from reference when studying, just so you have something you can compare your work to, so you can tell if you're doing something wrong. Post that reference here so that we can better crit your work.
The overall feel is getting better. I would suggest softening those orbital sockets some. Maybe the brow could come out smoothly just a tad more. I would check the cranium shape in profile view. Definitely looking great man. Keep it up.
....had to redo her pants some weird issues with the first ones, didn't like her face before so changed it up a bit, maybe a few more touches then on to retopo( I'll add the eyelashes once i go in maya).
If your goal is to simply understand the workflow then what you've done is ok. I see a nice sculpt that has textures and material that do not match in level of care and polish. Texturing and materials is equally as important as modeling/sculpting, I would suggest it to take the same level of reiteration and effort to avoid consistency issues.
Overall, good job, I like the face and the overall body proportion.
I was going for a slightly stylized realism,yeah i did a bad job texturing and uv layouts especially, second time texturing, i'll make sure to keep all of that in mind for Petro/Blood, thanks for the critique, really appreciated.
Thanks,will keep that in mind.
