At the level center of the eyes, where the nose turns into the forehead, you have a huge outward bulge. The nose ridge should go into the face, and then come back out again to create the brow line, you don’t have that, instead your brows goes into the center of your forehead making him look alien. I’ve put some yellow lines to show some areas that need some work IMHO. Hope this is ok. :slight_smile:

[edit]
Also, you don’t color the cornia of the eye, you put the color in the iris, your making your eyes look glow in the dark green by doing it the way you are. Try doing them like this, link.

All in all it is coming along well. But there are some things that could be improved:

The eyelids look too thick to me and the outside of the eyebrow is not defined. I’d bring the eyes a bit closer together. And the transition from the upper lips towards the nose should be more defined except you want a cleft lip.

I think update 14 was the best of yours. I would dare to say that some of those who are giving you an opinion on the direction you should be going are thinking of only one kind of face.

No one is perfect, and we are actually far from perfect. Many of the models that I see on this board are either females or somewhat androgenous males, all with caucasian features.

I personally like the direction you were going with update 14, and the only problem I see with it is the ridge under the eye goes rather oddly inwards towards the nose and hten back outwards where it reaches the nose. The curve there is unrealistic and should be flatter. Yet, in the later updates you ended up making the eyes too large and the face too flat at this part.

From now on, you should weigh everyone’s arguments on what is wrong with the face before taking one person’s arguments too seriously and completely changing your work, or making your work too much of one person’s preconceived notion of what a beautiful face is.

Well there is no actual progress with this face again, so I give up(again :expressionless: )
Anyway I was getting bored.However If somebody knows a link to a good face tut please post it
