It was done with "surface tools" which is basically like you start from a rectangle box that is just lines and then you cut it up and stuff and then end up with a 2d image that looks like a face, you then basically pull points until you have a face shape, it is quite like nurbs (as in max you pull a handle and it makes curves, like the ink tool in photoshop).
