Consider the following screen capture of an attempt to model a head in
sPatch. I probably used a somewhat unorthodox approach, in that I
started with a flat 12 x 12 grid of patches and tweaked and tweaked
until I got this far. Can some sPatch experts give me advice on what's
the ultimate destiny of such an approach:
1) Actually not that bad now; if export to povray now and with 15
manhours of TEXTURING it will fool experts as being a photo;
2) Doomed to failure because the patches in no way conform to known
facial contours;
3) Shows good hope, with perhaps another 15 manhours of tweaking, will
look cool cartoony 3D, if not photorealistic.

Yet another Easter Island figure.
I think I would have started with a sphere of sufficiently high vertex count
instead of a flat grid of points. Either way it must be a virtual nightmare
of splines.

There are a couple of Spatch head tutorials around, which I used to make my
first head but because I can't remember where I found them, I'll give a
brief explanation of how I put them together (I had another go yesterday).
Start with a template (well it becomes a template if you select a different
layer as you can see it but not edit it) layer, creating from all three
axis' a head, I use stretched circular shapes for this. Use the view
rotation tool to check that the points match in x, y and z axis.
On a second layer put together half (I use the right side) of a mouth (that
can be symetrically matched over to the left) with between 8 and 12 points.
Simply extrude the mouth upwards gradually following the first (template)
layer.
The main point of concern is that if you did what I did first time round,
you end up with from side profile a hole in the back of the head, if you
gradually rotate the extrusions from the side profile so that the extrusions
become the neck.
Finally select all, duplicate, mirror through x (or equiv.) and join up.
Well thats the way I do it, and the results are pretty dam good (lol not
mine, the tutorial ones!) In terms of ears and hair, I 'borrow' the ears
from the tutorial and still can't work out how to do hair!

Lug lift box. Lug drop box. Lug open door. Lug tear door of hinge. Oops.
Nothing wrong with that face, it just has a personality that you might not
want, but it is a fine caricature.

The way it is now it looks just like my wife's ex-husband... texture and
all.

Beat me to it, though I'd have downgraded the terms 'wife' and
'husband' if I were to say that first :)
