mesh problems

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Looks like the normals are facing the wrong way on the ear section. You can also try to go to edit polygons> normals> conform. Then hit soften/harded option box and make the model soft.
