Hi,
my first approach of a human-ish head. Rendered with Yafray. I think it’s not the worst kind of head, but I’m using blender for two weeks now, so bare that in mind while serving me the crits. Thank you. 
I got a little impatient while modeling, so the mesh ain’t that clean and those bumps on top of the head, well… those aren’t bone structures cough. 
White light. Looks better.
Oh, and if anyone could tell me, why Yafray produces those smudgy shadows, that’d be great. Refinement is already at 0.1.
well I’ll be damned. 2 weeks? Not bad for a start
I would be ill placed to give advice about yafray. But I kind of liked the esthetic the yellowish light was giving in the first version…
Very artistic! Could you share the blend? I would like to give it some tries in Indigo. The only thing I can crit is that his forhead looks kinda wierd. Not much just a little.
I haven’t used Yafray, but the same artifacts are evident in Blender internal renderer when I only use a single light source. Try adding a couple of additional lamps.
@ Kothe:
Yeah, I didn’t pay attention to the head loops, and just started facing away.
@ Orinoco
Thanks, I’ll try adding another light source. Lightning is still tricky for me, as of now I only use a fairly large area light.
Yesterday I took some pictures of me front- and sideways and I’m trying to remodel my head as we speak. It’s really fun and I’ll post an image as the basic face is done.
Heh, I really like the style of the mesh. Very different. Biggest crit is the seam running down his forehead.
@ Alden
Would you mind explaining “different”, since this is my first head-mesh so different is obviously not intended. (well, if it’s likeable I’ll keep it up, but I would like to know what it is. ;))
