Look at some more reference pictures. Should be definition above eyes where bone structure dictates as well as in other spots. Are you taking the low to high poly road or Dynamesh?

Im using dynamesh man with divisions too so that i can go bck to lower divisions for smooth brush to work properly nd all…

Dynamesh works with volumes. Yes, you can set the resolution (not really the same thing as subdivision), but it’s not the same as a more standard approach where you start with a low res cage, block it in until you can’t get the form more defined. ZRemesh what you have into a more manageable count (<3000 points.) and divide only when you need to for further detailing. ZSpheres armature>>Adaptive skin works good too.

Not an expert myself, but I can see that the proportions are slightly off. The distance from the Eye to the lips, and the chin is a little too much. And also, you want more rounded, curvy feel to it in order to make it look more
feminine. Now some women have masculine jaws and still strike as beautiful (Olivia Wilde for instance). So its really about looking at references. A lot of them. But before that you want to decide what genre you are going with this.
Cartoony? Realistic? Stylized etc. That should help you narrow your references down. But in general, I would say bring the jaws in, pull the chin up, and work more on the eyes (the temporal line is a little too prominent for a woman).

Hope that helps a bit.

Cheers.

P.S: There is a tool in zbrush with a skull in it. Append it to this one, and keep checking the proportions as you work with the sculpt.

hey thanx doug… thank you very much for your help i finally used the approach u told me and it turned out gr8 :slight_smile:

here is what i got finally

You need to study more of the underlying structure of the face

ok thank you for your advice, but i already did study the facial anatomy…

  1. Anatomy of the face by Ryan Kingslien.
  2. scott spencer’s Human anatomy tutorial.

If you know others that are more effective please do suggest

hey thanx alot man i tried the skull trick you told me but the skull available in the zbrush lightbox is actually a male one… but still it helped me with the placement of lips and nose and eyes…

i also made some exaggerations on the facial anatomy which from the references i was looking at did not have… still it kinda looks good to me what do you guys say abt it ?
