Help needed! Making a face for a custom action figure
I've been working on an action figure set based on my family & friends for Christmas. I have the bodies made and they look alright. I've got some accessories planned if I have time.
I am having trouble getting the face to look decent. I don't have a lot of sculpting experience, but I've been doing alright so far. I don't need them to be photo-realistic or anything. But I do want them to at least resemble the person.
Do you have any ideas, tips, or websites that can help me out?

Ditto. Also, think in terms of caricature. Focus on the features that are out of the ordinary for each person, and then exaggerate them a bit.

Thanks for the advice. I've gotten one head done and will try to get the other 4 tomorrow.
Also I downsized my figures too. Working on a smaller scale is not as intimidating, and seems much easier.
