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.

Which, as we all know, are one and the same.

Ok ok I´m kidding!

The head looks good, but it all depends on what style you´re going for - it doesn´t look too much like a photo-realistic human in the eye area for instance, if you´re going for a cartoon-look on the other hand it´s not too bad really! Keep at it, add more detail (if that´s what you´re going for).

its sort of an anime looking female...the reference sketch i'm using...but i'd like it to be as realistic as possible...the original eyes i had were modeled exactly like the reference...it looks fine in the reference...but the model was weird
