Final attempt. About a year ago I watched the HUMAN: Realistic Portrait creation tutorial and used what I learned from it. I think it helped a lot. I just took it this evening and added a BG+Lights+better skin texture, then rendered in blender tonight
Second attempt in Modo. A few months later I tried fixing and improving from I learned. I was trying to learn cinema4d at the time so I used cinema4d + redshift + Substance Painter.
First time trying to make a head. Box modeled in modo, then used their sculpt tools.
