I have now added the reference lines for the topology.

I must say that it was very hard and frustrating tying to make sure that all the muscle lines were in the correct places, making sure that they all connected if my face shape was to change and to ensure that there was no triangles only quads as this would entail pinching. = (bad)

From looking at the past students work, I noticed that the ones that struggled the most were the students that did not spend a decent amount of time on there typology. Especially the ones that made it really complicated and did not spend time working out the simple routes and paths.

It took about 2 hours of work but I am very happy with the result. I then decided i wanted to see if you could recognize my face from just the reference lines??




















As you can see I have kept lines to a minimal and made sure that I have avoided any 3 or 5 sided shapes that would cause me problems down the line with the polygon editing. Also as mentioned causing pinching and uneven surfaces, making face look unrealistic.

This was the result!! Now i would say that looks the spitting image of me if someone asked me in the street but ill let you decide what you think :P
