Not bad. If you're really wanting to learn how to MODEL faces then you might want to not bother with textures for now and model all of the aspects of a head.

I'm not a geek. I'm a nerd.

Yeah, but i get a bit bored when i'm not doing three or so things at once user added image

Its probably not the way to go but i'm too impatient to wait for the moddeling to be done before the textures. Anyway, Ive added some ears wich look like two funny looking triangles and iv'e done a bit more to the face. user added image

Do not get impatient. Finish the model before you start texturing. Then it will give you guides to paint the textures.

Do not rush things. Start from the basics and then up. You will see your work improve by an impressive ammount.

Keep going!

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
