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.

Next Design - This is just for a still - No plans to animated this one and the poly flow for the jacket works better for the details that need to be added.I would suggest making the breasts out of spheres, like nude models usually are. The way you have them now will cause issues when deforming. I think you could also spread out some of the loops at the top of the head, as they aren't evenly spaced at the moment.
As for the head I have already said its going to be covered with hair and will most likely deleted or not seen. But I don`t think the spacing is that off - maybe a little at back of the head where some extra detail was need to attach the ear. Any way the below image show what I think will be covered up (if not more) by the hair.
But thanks for the comments I see what your saying.

If you look at the ref you can that at the shoulder there is a very thick seem which I have tried hard to get right. That`s why in the colour version of the images the sleeves are black, with apart of the blouse stick out of the end.
Here is some ref to what I`m going for
Ada Wong Escape's Skill - YouTube
And a great fight scene
Resident Evil Damnation - Cat Fight - YouTube

Here is what I got so far in total then (missing the neck piece and teeth -opps). Just refreshing myself with some training videos on hair and think might have a go at that next as I hate hands and feet.

I am thinking I nailed the shapes in her hair - just hope I can do it justice with hair systems now...

Those images took 23 sec for the front and 28 for the side. That hair system has gone for now as im in process of upscaling everything to real world scale due to the problems. It meant i did not have that much control over them at the time but I did like the resault but yes lots of tweaks need.

Before the resize the head worked out to be 4cm (whoops) but rescaled now I have her at about 1 meter 80 cm. Found a site that states she is 5 foot 7" which if I add her heals would be about right.
This is the images straight of the bat - Looking good and not too far of my early results. Need to fixes in some areas like the parting and the missing bits towards the rear of the head. My biggest headache I think is the bottom of the hair..... So here`s to tweaking.
Render time has gone up to 4 min a image (2k x 2k) but I have upgraded the settings quite a bit.
