I am trying to make a skin texture for my human head model and I don’t know how to make the UV for it, the model doesn’t seem to fit any of the pics I found on internet in order to texture it. Are there any good tutorials on how to texture a human head?

search texturing a human head in blender, there are plenty out there. The process is called projection painting. Its fairly easy to get started with. cgcookies.com have some tuts on this, just take a look around.

Really nice video, thanks, spaces! This really helped me understand why the painting of it was so weird and distorted!

Also is there a tutorial on how to make clothes? Like jeans, belts, military armor?
