Merry Christmas too. A bit of advice on the mouth, model it open slightly it will be alot easier, then once you are happy then close it using a blendshape, and if you dont need the shape delete the history and it will stay shut.

If you don't mind me asking, why does it have to be en polys? You can get the exact same result from using sub-d's, and IMO they are a lot easier to handle... Besides, you can change the levels of a sub-d object and thereby adding detail and still keep a low polycount...
Other than that, this is probably one of the best attempt at a nurbs face I've ever seen so far... :tup:

and by adding levels to the subD object you are in turn adding polys.
this is not visible on the mesh, but thats just by adding more polys the subD can be subdivided.
a subD displayed at level 3 is a poly smooth 2x
and increasing the levels only increases the poly count.

It has to be done in patches as Anita is going for a job. Sub D are easy to handle its just a type of algorythm applied to polys at base level but I would advise against level edits without a doubt unless you are keeping the model as a subD surface once its finished. I would just cut in the necessary details at base level then jus go back and forth between SD and Poly til you're satisfied then convert, I usually convert at Level 1 over Division of 2.
Happy New year

type "Subdivision Surfaces limitations" in the help docs to see what i mean, or in the MR docs to see MR's limitation with subDs in maya.
i'd avoid patch modeling in every way, as it is non-intuitive and a slow process, and it too is difficult to handle on the basis of animation, rigging or texturing. and subD or poly can give similar results if modeled well enough. but a job's a job.
good luck with it.

Patch modelling is a real bummer to do these days especially now subs are kind of the norm now. Theres one advantage to it though (patch modelling), if you do it right without too much fuss, your edge flow will be pretty much bang on.
Hey Vlad whats your job by the way, always wanted to ask
