There's nothing normal about normals. In FACT i think the are abnormal.

Well ive ordered Organic modelling 2 DVD so hopefully that will help me finish this guy off.

*update*



Started working my way up the head put the eyebrows in and also done the lips.

no bad
One thing you really need to do, is when you create the mesh, try to aviod all tri's and 5 sided polys. I can see a heap of tris on the top of the head, and 5 sided polys near the nose.
Otherwise your going to get a hell of a mess in those areas when you do a poly smooth

Ty for the tip mate, one thing though all the triangles on the top of the head arent triangles just deformed squres

Right going to start on a new model this one has been a great sucess although i havnt finished it and ive made some errors i think ive come along way from the first images i posted. Going to try and patch model? a normal human head following the joan tutorial as you recommended. I'll post some images or might not depends how it goes.

Is that hobbit guy's tutorial for the head you used?

Yep

hey this thread brings back memories - my first head was this tutorial too
check the monster links on the following page for my 'attempt':
https://www.flash-fx.net/old_3D_css.html

as already mentioned try the joan of arc tutorial (the tutorial I did after the head one) as it'll help get some skills in blocking out a basic body form. The head also gives you some good results.

good luck on this one as this ones quite a hard head shape to get.
