this is cool! a self portait - leiwand!

I would be interested in the mesh and how did you start the head? I mean what kind of method did U use to put up the main proportions? boxmodeling or nurbs maybe? the bump on the check may be result of a trigon/5-gon - so U might used poly/subDs?

I´m curious cause I find it hard to decide how to easiest put up the basic shape of a head.

take your time, but keep it up man! I´d really like to see it finished.
