for me, the fast skin doesn't look like its doing anything.

I like the model, did you use any references or just make it up? cos if its the latter then its really good. I kinda know what nextDesign was saying about the form, but tbh its your first head so just get it done. Once you do more heads you might see what could be different or how you would topologise it in a different way. for now just finish it, that is the pot calling the kettle black tho. I need to finish some of my projects.

There isn't enough red color in the skin.

Still waxy. Look at the ear. Try the tutorial I posted up above. It's MUCH easier to control.

Or, if you really want to go crazy with the misss shader, try this: https://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/sto...Maya-Tutorials
