Awwww, come on, none of you like girls?

Just kiddin, well heres an update:

JKMakowka

The mouth is too strait, and the upper lip too thin.

Otherwise not a bad first try.

i told him to raise her filtrum... but he wouldnt listen ;_;

Joao Sapiro

i would deffinately fix the loops around the mouth area...or make a nice loop flow on the entire model , wich doesnt seem to happen.

Enix

A drawover would definatly help at this point, because when it comes to anatomy, im pretty clueless .

A clean front and side view wireframe (no hair) can help get a better technical crit. Female faces are hard enough as it is, a perspective view with hair polygons all over it doesn't do much for crits, but great for hiding errors.

Bahh, stupid me. Here ya go:



Only reason I havn't gone any further is because there is alot I can see wrong, but not sure where to start , crits are very much appreciated.

[edit]

After seeing the last pic i posted, I took some self crits and fixed the flow around the mouth and in other places, i think its alot smoother, and cleaner now:

[update]

Well, time for me to hit the hay, heres my last update for tonight:



Hope I get some crits tommorrow .

I can't see if you've fixed it along with your flow adjustments already but the loops from the side of her head shouldn't just go down, instead they should form the jaw edgeloop.

Maybe this will help you help me

hmm my suggestion is to create a whole head and then add alpha mapping hair <_<" .... thats always better

for me the cheeck from the side view are to way front.. make them more smoother.

Enix

Thats what im doing . Well here is a little update...im just gonna model it in parts for now, i cant stick with the head forever, not getting much help :S.

Has everything you need to know about head and hands

"Andrew Loomis was a respected and prolific illustrator and teacher. His instructional books have become some of the most sought after art books in the last decades. Most of his books have been out-of-print for decades, and command prices of hundreds of American dollars for a second-hand copy.
To the youngest generation of aspiring artists that grew up with the internet, the Loomis books have become something to be taken for granted, and not regarded nearly as seriously as should be. This is unfortunate, because to those of us that understand the significance of the Loomis books, it's as if people are passing up the chance to be taught by one of the best art teachers that ever lived--FOR FREE"
