Been trying to up my face game with some studies, any feedback or recomendation??

Proyecto Tejon

hi, ive been working on some face studies, and most of them look kinda ok, but off for some reason, (this one is a bit stylized) if anyone has some feedback, that would be great, i just plugged some hair i made for a character some time ago, for presentation purposes

Does this suffice ?

That's a big help, will try to dissect the many small movements you did to correct the forms.
i see some of them conform better to the skull, like the forehead, brow, jaw, position of the eye, the definition of the cygomatic, ears. nose.
Is there a particular reason the nostrils are smaller? the orbital fat goes up a little bit? and the position of the transition if the nose/mouth is a bit forward?
Thanks a lot

I guess nostrils got smaller as I moved them around ,actually her eyes are not in the middle of the face and there is too much space between eye and eyebrow so I tried to kill 2 bird  with 1 stone by moving eyes , the real problem is eyebrow its way to high on her forehead .That will depends on the person but usually on pretty girls if you draw a line from tip of the nose to high point of the chin lower lip with touch this line + you want to account for the teeth cylinder .Will be wise to spend some time learning form/planes of nose and ears also face without a underchin plane looks like a mask so take some time to investigate this area of the face as well

Thanks a lot, that helped quite a bit.

what kind of reference do you use when you do these studies? for studying faces it´s really nice to use the split screen feature in zbrush and load a scanned head to the other screen to use as reference. But don´t just copy, pay attention to what´s going on.
Also the inside of your ears look kind of swollen, might spend more time on the next time

there was no exact reference, used a few faces, not trying to replicate exact features in particular but trying to follow certain general forms; never really though of using scans as reference in splitscreen, will give it a try, usually just use puref on top... and yeah i agree i got a bit lazy in the ears and made something just to give it some ears but definitely will sculpt a good set of ears to add them if im feeling lazy again lol...
