are you sculpting this from imagination or using reference?

right now to me, the nostrils need some work, they normally kind of taper into the nose, yours just kind of end. Also the brow ridge needs some work

Agreed on the nostrils and brow, the nose bridge too feels a bit long. It makes the mouth feel like its too low. Like the face is stretched maybe 10% more than you'd expect from the proportions of the head.

You can clean up a few of those little bumpies in the corners of the lips by dropping down a few subdivision levels and smoothing it out.

I think most womens brow doesn't rest right against the curve of their eyelid. That's more a high-testosterone trait. Look at that area on many men and many women and usually the men have less distance between eye and brow, whereas women have more.

Top of the ear connection to head is kind of wide. Looks like webbing.

Try out the "outline" materials in zbrush to get a better sense of your forms without the distraction of details.

I guess you can smooth that mouth; and grab some ref/model you like, should be easier than just by imagination! I know your taste already; so here is a suggestion i know you would totally enjoy my dear Fatos:

Hello everyone and thank you for the replies.

@jose.fuentes Hi, I tried to follow your advice and change the nose. And i'm not using a face ref.
@TheWarlord18 , I changed the proportion and it looks better, thanks.
@BIGTIMEMASTER , I change the lips, but not the ear yet.

Her forehead is one big plane you have to break that to the correct volumes or she will continue to look weird

Brow is made of 3 pieces that connect to create a stair stepping structure

Check angle of the eye medial to lateral corner and how far socket on the lateral side ends

I find that basing your model of a real life person helps a lot, you don't need to try to go for likeness but having that reference there def helps you see how forms work in real life, just a thought
