Did a small bit of tweaking on the ears today and finished them off. Stitched it up to the head which was a challenge for me. Here is where it stands at the moment... Did a 360'degree render user added image

I think the sides of the forehead need some fattening up a bit and the cheeks still feel a little on the narrow side going down to the chin, needs a little plumping up I think.

Get the soft mod tool and be brutal - pull it about until it looks right, then you can just tidy it up after, thats usually how I do it if something doesnt work for me, just go extreme....
