Here is a "buste" test of a old creature.

cool creature, the wrinkles seem quite parallel especially under the eyes.
I have edited your first post so images show up full rez.
It'd be nice to see a 3 quarter view, the front one works better to me. The side view feels like the face is a bit too wide because of the short forehead, sunked in eyes

Cool stuff,
Keep it up!

OK post a 3/4 view. For the wrinkles, I know what your talking about.
More like the picture ?

I decide to learn more the base of anatomies. First I'm trying to do a basic face with some hard surface.

Need more critiques. ;)

Hey Matic, practicing face anatomy is indeed very important and tricky sometimes.
I think your model has character, although it looks quite stylized because of the proportions and exagerated features.
The eyes are huge, the cranium very narrow, the cheek bone and wrinkles quite sharp and deep.
I see you were using the flatten brush to get the planes right , which is a good idea, but then you have to really go in and be aware of all the human face anatomy subtelties.
I would try to focus on a specific reference and stick to it. Have a look at the reference thread, tons of great faces there.

Keep it up! :bouncy:

Update. Two orthographic view and one perspective view.

Don't play attention for the teeth ;)

Well after many tweaking I could not figure out if my
proportions are good?
What do you thinks ?

Bon après plusieurs retouches je n'arrive pas a savoir si mes proportions sont bonne ?
Qu'en pensez vous?

Proportions look pretty good to me! Teeth are bothering me, it's like you have too many of them going back. Also their base should define some curvature not a straight line like on your model.
Here is a ref for you:

Also I would add more volume to the back of the cranium from the persp view it feels a bit small.

Another ref for this:

The chin looks very sharp and pointy from the side view but overall I think it works :beerchug:

[matic]

Thanks for the answer, I will fix it. :notWorthy:

[matic]

The skull now is finished time to make some muscles.
