Day 1 - Reference photos
[Figure 22]
It took a long while for me to take photos where my head was straight and angled in the same/similar direction. This wasn't my first attempt, as I had originally started the project with two references where every feature lined up perfectly, but you could see my eyebrow on the other side of my nose and it messed up the main centre structure of the face when I started modelling.
Day 2 - Centre of face
[Figure 23]
The method I plan on using is using one plane to create the entire head, using extrusion. this should help prevent mesh disturbances as I witnessed last year through merging objects. In [Figure 23], i used the plane and stretched it to the height of the face and used it to make all the curves of the face in the side view. Here I decided to use the symmetry tool to make the face equal.
Day 3 - Beginning to form the jaw

So far, I think my improvements for the next day will be smoothing out the cheeks. I will do one trying this through moving vertexes, and again using the smoothing brushes which I practiced with over the summer. I think on day 2, the face has started to look like mine - with the exception of any asymmetrical features like my nose.
