It's fairly early on in the sculpting process but I'd like to get an idea of how I'm managing to capture the likeness sofar - if at all. And feedback appreciated.

    Good start! The first thing that popped out at me was the mouth needs to be wider. Take the 4th picture you have and overlay it over a front view and you'll see what I'm talking about. Also I think the nose on yours is a wee bit too upturned.

    woog has really got something in his front overpaint- pay close attention to his lines for the mouth and jawline!

    Good luck

    hey panger, lips are too pursed. your cheek bone and brow are too defined, sylar is chubbier. nostrils are good but the ball of the nose it too large. your ears are too thick and sticking out too far. OH and his lower ear is attached to his head, i always noticed it when watching heroes. and his chin/jaw nees to be moe pronounced like woogity said.

    the overall shape of the head feels right. Its mostly the mouth throwing it off, and the brow/cheek bones making the shape feel off.

    Also, this model looks exactly like a buddy of mine lol. with the lips and ears lol.

    Thanks for the paintover Woogity! It's helped me a lot. I've tried capturing the overall proportions so far, gradually working down to get the shape of the features. I overlayed the front angle picture on the model and was pleased to find the proportions are generally correct with some nudging needed in a few areas, which I have done in the last few days in my spare time. I've been paying a little more attention to the finer details like the shape of the lower lid and the pocket of fat there, corners of the mouth and the narrow butt-chin.

    Thanks for your feedback everyone. Would love to hear some more. Here's an update.

    its still very generic so far, push those forms you can see in the picshave a look at the muscles around the mouth and the shape of the cheekbones and angle of eyebrows

    to thin, especially around the chin and the forhead is too low and too small.

    Maybe this is incredibly useless and your screenshot just looks odd because of some sort of perspective viewport filter, I don't know, but basically... proportions. (Slow gif.) Sorry the lines don't really explain anything.

    Ears are actually very important in likeness, as well. Seems like a small thing, but they create an important part of the silhouette.

    Looks to me like you made the likeness in Ortho views and switched to perspective later. Always work in perspective if you are going for a likeness. You have to remember that camera's capture perspective shots not orthos.

    Vrav's paint over shows a lot of what needs fixing.

    I never like people who just post a link without an explanation behind said link.

    ... Just kidding... I don't know if you use this plugin for Zbrush its called image plane. It seems like this little plugin will be very helpful with what you are doing. Just plug it in and read the little doc on how to use it in zbrush. Correct the over all shape of the head then move on.

    Thanks for the paintover, Vrav. I found it quite helpful while tweaking the face. And killaball, that link - i appreciate it.

    Here's a small update. Hopefully there's a clear difference between this and my last update.

    Pang: You're jumping into texture waayy too early. IMO, that model still looks nothing like Zach Quinto, even with his face photo plastered on it, which is a bad sign.

    I think you need to sculpt until it looks recognizable. Then work on the texture.
