making a "decent" head

well i tried modeling a head before.
yet at some stage in modeling it looked more like a old WW2 gasmask.

so now i finaly have the guts to try and model a head again.

for some reason i couldn’t find the joan d’arc tut, so i started from out of the blue.

so here’s the current states. not much yet.
and i think that instead of a gasmask this might actualy start looking like those italian/brazilian carnaval masks.
sigh

tips would be extreemly helpfull.

I’d say first do the general head shape… then work out the details… same as drawing… don’t start on one eye and then spread it from there… first the general shape of the head… then the details & more shape… otherwise you’r proportions will be easily screwed…
