That is probably the best charcter tut ive seen.
But i think your progressing with this.

There's nothing normal about normals. In FACT i think the are abnormal.

no bad
One thing you really need to do, is when you create the mesh, try to aviod all tri's and 5 sided polys. I can see a heap of tris on the top of the head, and 5 sided polys near the nose.
Otherwise your going to get a hell of a mess in those areas when you do a poly smooth

hey this thread brings back memories - my first head was this tutorial too user added image

check the monster links on the following page for my 'attempt':
https://www.flash-fx.net/old_3D_css.html

as already mentioned try the joan of arc tutorial (the tutorial I did after the head one) as it'll help get some skills in blocking out a basic body form. The head also gives you some good results.

good luck on this one as this ones quite a hard head shape to get. user added image
