Thanks for the comments and encouragement Kerosene and jellyrollikeskulpcha. Here are the front and side shots of her head, why is it that the side always looks better to me than the front views?

In terms of my method, I have tried to document it as best I could. I started in NURBS then converted to polys. Looking back I could of started in Polys and saved myself some time since I had to do a lot of tweaking to them after having converted from the NURBS, but that is just me. I haven't used Sub-d but I would eventually like to learn, it seems like the wave of the future (and present for that matter). But before that I would like to texture my female model and learn the details of that whole process.

I'll be looking for your thread jellyrollikeskulpcha to check on your model. Good luck with it, I'm sure you will do well since there are so many people here willing to contribute suggestions and comments.
