This is my attempt to model a human head from scratch in wings.
I'm not entirely happy with it, I was trying to get it to look like
someone in particular, and it doesn't really.

I have done my own attempts with faces (I still working in my own face)

and I know it is not easy, but if it is your first attempt, go on because it
is quite good. My first attempt was horrible compared with yours. And think
that to model a reasonable face with Wings is a long hard job so dont give
up. Now I'm stuck with the ears...

Excellent! Much closer than most. Your proportions are pretty darn good; and
proportion is key! Here are the thinks I would tweak:
The width of the eye should be one fifth the width of the head. You've got
them in the middle of the head, which is good, but yours are small compared
to classical proportions.
The nose is rather nice; the bridge is maybe a bit thin?
The lips are very straight --- "Bite into a piece of bread and look at the
bite-marks --- you'll never draw straight lips again" is advice I read in a
book on drawing the human head.
The shape of the head is very nice; with ears, the silhouette should be
excellent.
The neck seems rather short?

Wonderful work, though. Bang out a few more, and you'll be a master. After
the first one or two, its much, much faster --- an hour or two instead of
six. There are people (I only wish I were one) who can do it perfectly and
in a matter of minutes.
