Hello, Polycount members =).  I'm new on this forum. I'm having a hard time capturing features and anatomical characteristics of a head (I don't have any artistic background) . I'm building a Rammstein group member, Paul Landers. If smb could give me pointers and perspective on what to change, add or smth that could help me improve the model, that would be amazing. Thank you all in advance.

Picture references I used for this model :

    Is he suppose to be super low polygonal model ?
    If you post front side and 3/4 views will be much easier to give you some specific directions

    It's actually for a demo  of a concert me and another person want to do. And the band doesn't need super accurate details, cause we want to show mostly the stage as if you're a 1 row viewer. I'd like the model to resemble/look as close as possible to the band member.

    Here's a high poly copy to bake over, hope it'll help better to see the flaws : https://conceptmesh.com/s/ZjuOsyXMM

    Ok probably easiest way to achieve likeness is to start from side view . Then you have to aline your reference and your model - can use some like "Frankfurt plane" for that . After that you can take proportions, angles and all features from reference .When you do that you can move to front view and do the same with widths - mouth nose eyes and so on .Also you will need 3/4 view so you can make a smooth transition between front and side 
    Your profile reference is not ideal I will suggest to find a better one

    The side reference is not good I agree, but it's the best I could find.  Thank you for the advice and the time spent to help me out.  :)
