Part 2: Setting up the basic muscle structure of the face with edgeloops
Part 3: Modeling the mouth
Part 4: Modeling the nose
Part 5: Modeling the eyes
Part 6: Making the skull

For some reason when I am beginning to model the mouth, or doing anything with the circle, the side view does not line up properly with the mouth. It is more down towards the chin for some reason. I have the positioning at the correct location. Also the whole circle is on the side view, in the video it seems like half of the circle is on the side view. Can you tell me what's going on?

@myband5982 are you using the same reference image as I am, because every reference image is different.

[myband5982]

@d3sertst0rm Yeah i clicked on your link and downloaded the image. Or should i have just right click and save? Also I am using the positioning from the first part. Would that mess things up?

[d3sertst0rm]

@myband5982 hmm... As I say in the video, you rarely find perfectly lined up reference images. Really all I did before the tutorial was mess around with the location and scaling of the images until the eyes and mouth both lined up... that's really all I can say to help you, sorry :/

My references don't line up like yours do, what could I have done wrong 'cause I did everything that you said during the first tut?

[d3sertst0rm]

@JamiedrummerEdwards are you using the same reference image as me? Because every image is the same... It's very difficult to find a reference image that lines up perfectly. I got really lucky with this one

[myband5982]

@d3sertst0rm It's cool, thanks for the tutorials though!

I TRY TO DO IT BUT LATER I BECOME FRUSTRATED AND I LEAVE IT

How can you close the mash (03:51) on the chin? What command do you use?

And congratulations for the tutorial!!!

@davepamn the little triangle, you said to click was causing my circle to duplicate
