Wrinkles
The reason for making this head, is to try to make good looking facial wrinkles for an old man.
When its textured with even more wrinkles this could get pretty nice, but only time will tell. I am only modelling the biggest wrinkles and the rest will be textured.
The head is still symmetrical, so I predict it will look better when the symmetry is removed.
Anyway, its modeled with polygons using CPS without any considderation of quads/tris/n-gons only thing in considderation is to make it look good and to make it work for possible facial animation (not that I have any plans of making the animation).
I have a strange fold at the earlap, but I am gonna look into that soon.
Comments is most appreciated.

Mike : Jowels .. is that the cheek or the bags under the eyes ?
Perhaps you could draw on the picture what you mean
The curves under his eyes, is actually taken from looking at myself in the mirror, and imagining what would happen when I get older !!! *panic*.. But I think you mean the curves just below the eye, the first dark set of lines ?

This is a grea reference for the wrinkles when texturing.. somehow I think it would be to shoot myself in the foot if I was to model them all
Also a cool ref for the eyebrows

like it allready
one question tho...
I did your cps tut and made some really nice heads out of it...I find it really easy to work with but the only thing that's bottering me is that you can't get a grisp wether the polys are quads or tri or whatever... so how do you still can get a clean mesh to uvmap and texture it ?... Im still in the modeling phase but I quit working with cps cause of this problem.....any suggestions ?

Look at the CPS option to turn on/off the wirefram on shaded button. and then you count the edges surrounding a face.. it should be easy to count to 3 - 5
in regards to UV mapping, then you would want to UV map the lowpoly / the base object and CPS should transfer the UVs automatically. If not then use the transfer UVs command.
As always UV mapping is a pain, that is whatever you use polys, subD, or CPS (CPS is polys but in subD style)
CPS is like modeling in Polys and applying a smooth proxy .. so its basicly the same thing with a few things automated.
Unfortunatly , the UV mapping part is not that automated, and you will always have to do that darn UV unwrapping yourself. So you just have to plan where and how you do the projections of the UVs ..
Rubberkidney: Yeah, but remember as you get older your ears will start to drop and ..
