More progress, whats wrong with the chin and eyes?

btw, im trying to make an action shot so he is squinching his face,t thats why his eye lids are closed a lot..

edit: I havnt done the hair because I have no idea how to do it.. Ive tried paint fx, but that hoses my system, I might just have to draw it in Photoshop user added image

Well, his brow kind of sticks out too far in your model, and it's a bit chunky. His chin is slightly sharper in the reference image ,and also, his face looks a little pudgy compared to the reference. Other than that, he's looking good. Keep it up user added image

Nobody felt like avenging your death. Sorry.

Sorry, I can't use the wireframe for further comments. But the edge loops seem to be a bit out of place. So your mesh is not very clean.

but when im modeling I have the refs in the right place so I can look at them when I want to see his face at different angles in relation to my model, but ill try printing them..

I know my mesh isnt very clean, but im not rigging him, so it doesnt need to be totally clean.
