Well there you have it. That's your problem. Find a front and side view of a person on the Fine Art site.

What you're doing is basically trying to take front view photos of people and trying to piece one photo together using different sections of different photos.

Yea. The whole face isn't aligned with your reference. You should start over using only the front and side view references you have there.

Here's a site for future references.

I ahve used a lattice deformer and re shaped the head, as opposed to re doing it. it is in the right position and proportion though.

I am going to go back and edit the older version of the head and hopefully it will turn out good.
this is getting frustrating:angery:
