So shall I shout Eureka, Eureka for this certainly not at all as it turns out this is a slight modification of Glen Wilton classic method of extruding from the eyes and mouth with emphasis on the rectangular jpatches in the jaw. So do not waste your time reinventing the wheel when you model study other people's method and learn from it.

NB it is not that the first face is not good as a matter of fact it is quite useful if one desires a model that has a very smooth face without much facial contours.So it is just a matter of what kind of model you want. I have included this model so that you can experiment with it as you model your facess.

After going through all of this, the green eyed monster is at it again. He is now jabbering me about texturing the model. If you agree with him, drop me a line.
