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.

Hey it doesnt suck! expecially for a first time!

If you post a wire frame - non sud-d it would be easier to give some pointers. Off hand I would say using some referance would be a big help, even if you are doing a stylized head - Start with reality and push the features from there...

Faces, hands and feet... three of the hardest things to model.


Great start!

I did a quick line drawing over your model. I hope you dont mind <:-)

Your shapes are good, just need to work on some of the forms a bit more.

goodluck

Hi. If You need e-books - I've got a lot - email me. I'd like to help. I've been in Maya for 1,5 year & my first head was much less beautiful than yours.

To say the truth, my human head began to look like more human from the 7th one.

Good luck.
