We put a strong emphasis on topology in this series
Part 1: Setting up our reference image and discussing topology and edgeloops
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
Part 7: Filling in the gaps between the vertices (this is when it actually starts looking like a face)
Part 8: Finalizing the mesh and making an eye texture

Okay a few useful tips. Thumbs up this to let everyone know. First of all try to make all the quads(faces) approximately the same size. The video has different sized faces which is not good. Try to make all the faces equal in shape. Second to get rid of triangles, try to merge a few vertices, that usually gets rid of triangles.

@asifrockstar3000 thanks for the first part I completely forgot about the equal size part. As for the triangles, i believe there is only 2 on the back of the head, which doesn't move when animated so there isn't a problem. It WOULD be a problem if I had triangles on something like the eyes, but I don't, so I think I'm fine. (also I'm trying to avoid 5 poles, which would happen if I merged the triangle to make a quad) Hope you liked the vid though!

Ok, thanks to your wonderful explanation, I've been at it three days now.

I trashed what I had previous and started it over and wanted you to see the progress.

Mind you, I only started with blender in January this year. lol

My vid us uploading atm, once complete I'll finish with editing and it will be viewable.

Thank you for providing the help.

@harbek2000 sorry for the late reply I've been away. It seems the video you provided dosn't exist when i search it. I did see some videos on your profile though and you're doing very well!
