Agreed, looks tons better, though the eyebrows (especially in relation the the flared nostrils) make her look a bit pissed off.

I want to make you notice something. I am sure you allready know or had a thought about this. orthographic is good for referencing - better than setting up perspective cameras to model from in my opinion. I tried it some times, but the heads were looking really odd in the end. what I am talking about is the camera distortion from your reference picture applied to an orthographicly modeled geometry. as you can guess this creates a certain discrepancy between projection and projected. I still have no best way to compensate it (exept 3D scan ofc, but that´s expensive XD). basically I start with orthographic and switch to just freehand modeling at some point of time. going back and forth a view times until it looks right.

fact is - most times when people start learning head modeling they mostly look like rubberdolls. I was no exeption here.

look at the pic and see what I mean. your ear looks really convincing dude!

gect - thanks, yea she does look pissed.
@Fallot - i am aware of the camera distortion, i do work in orthographic for blocking out the head model but i spend mos of my time in the perspective view just to make sure its looking good and the vertices are not out of whack whic is the case in a lot of times. thanks for your input.

Looking very cool since I last saw. You model the eyebrows seperate? Makes sense for a high-poly bust, but I always planned out to make a bump-map texture or displacement map. Be sure to post more when you're texturing her ^^

i am impressed with the model so far but.....
i saw the making of this lady by some guy on 3dm3......so for you to do the same you must have great confidence in your modelling abilities

in my opinion it turns out to look pretty fine.

you can see the model getting better and better after each modeling session.

good work!
