One begin with the polyline tool. One draw the side-face, the outline of the eye, of the eyebrow, of the mouth, all with this tool. To get a minimum number of faces, avoid to draw too much points.

Then, with the tools and stretch the curves while turning around the model. These few lines gives a preview of the final volume, of the face expression. Here, I would like to do an androgynous face: it could be used for a man or a woman with few modifications. For this first phase, my own design practice was useful, but one's can help with photographs, graphic tablet...

Then, with the facet tool

we will build the model face by face. With the viewer, we can watch to the general shape. Because the file is very small (about 10 kb), the working is very easy (even with a 6100/60!).

On the middle of the model I added a line which supports the facets. Sometimes, I have to add or remove points on the curves. If one must add many points on a curve, one can use the smoothing tool.

This phase is generally quite fast. Now, we have to adjust all very carefully to give to the model the hoped appearance.

To do this, use the tools and position face per face. Now, you can give the Joconde smile if you are an expert, or the one of Anthony Quinn featuring Quasimodo in the Notre Dame de Paris movie (if you are a beginner...).

One can make the nose bigger (it was too small). My half face is now finished.

We symetrize it to get the second half face and weld them together.

Now, smooth with range 2 to avoid a file too heavy.

One can use the eye contour to make the eyelids (easy: once the line drawn, one give it a small thickness)
