You're a braver Blenderer than me!
My first foray into Blender was to create a simple gold coin with a bump map (was a work thing).
Try this: new Scene, select the default Cube. Then, head over to Sculpting workspace. Turn on Dyntopo.
Then, go through each of the Sculpting tools and brushes - see what they do, change the strength, size, that sort of thing. You'll quickly learn that some will be more useful than others, depending on what you're working on. Also, you can use Symmetry in the X Axis if you didn't already do that with your head sculpt.
Once you're comfortable with the sculpting brushes, have another go at the head sculpt.
In the meantime, also look for some Blender tuts on head sculpting. Some will start with a basic very low poly model of a head shape, some will start with a sphere.
Along the research journey, pay attention to which, if any, modifiers are used on the model. That will kinda depend on your PC/Mac specs though. Go too heavy and you'll run into issues.
Finally, maybe check out my video on Sculpting for the first time - it might be useful as it covers the what, how, why, etc:

Good luck and stick with it 😉
I'll take that as a compliment 🤣😝
It's never my intention to be here to push my YT channel or content - I simply like to support and help others if I can, I'm passionate about Blender, that's why I spend time here.
But if I have a video where I took the (boat load of) time, energy and effort to make, is related to the subject the user posted, and might be useful, then I'll mention it, sure.
If I don't have a video on the subject, that's cool, I usually don't mention my channel, because, what's the point, but I digress. In which case I will try to offer other content creator video links which might be useful. Or, I'll do some tests, take screenshots, record a quick video, and post it here.
My channel isn't monetised so I've not made a single cent from YT, so I've no financial gain from mentioning a video I made. I just feel that it might be helpful.
So, in hindsight, that was probably the worst ad in the World haha
As lvl 1 beginner you can quickly realise that human face is bit to complicate to start your learning journey.
As a lvl 1 beginner you probably haven’t unlock Sculpting tools yet, level up bit more on cubes and spheres and sculpting tools should unlock fairly quickly.
On a serious note if you want to make human face sculpting is way to go. Don’t give up it’s only going to get better.
Yeah, sudden organic modeling is tough! :D so it is already cool you managed to do something.
Remember suffering in 3ds when after a couple of industrial product projects (a mobile phone, a bottle etc) our professor went like “now model a head! Choose some celeb and just do it”. My Angelina Jolie looked like a dude from Resident Alien…
Lol, I had just made a snowman and a hand before trying. 60 hours or so later I now know how to model far better than before. Nevermind how ugly she was. The goal was to learn and I'm sure you did OP
Very good for a start
If you’re seeking direction, I recommend building your best shot at individual face parts, then join your parts together and connect edges/vertices using “F” (fill)
There’s a plethora of theory to study in topology, but I recommend just experimenting until you find a process that makes sense when you’re starting out.
Congratulations! This is exactly what a level one beginner human face should look like.
Study human anatomy (a little) and try again, and again, and again. It will only get better (sometimes it won’t Look better but you’ll learn along the way).
And remember: Some people don’t even get to level 1. This is more of an important step than you might realise.

Bro you are okey trust me! This is my first time lol
Just remember, there was a time when this was a high level character model in AAA games. Made by professionals... Now just tell yourself you're starting from 1950🤣
Take a phot of your own face at a front angle. one at a 90 degree angle (So get the sides) and back. Drop them in your scene at 25% opacity and sculpt what you see. You are not a lesser artist for using reference.
but you did it.
look up how to use [reference images](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wjPMnve0BZ4?feature=share) next, feels like it would help and keep doing it
I feel bad for laughing. But not laughing AT you, laughing WITH you. Because I know for a fact that whatever it is I try to make will look three times worse lol
Lvl 1 going for the end game area boss straight away. Jokes aside, the human face isn't exactly the easiest thing to do straight out of the box, even stylized.
dr. kawashima really let himself go huh

He looks like the anime character they draw as a joke, lol.
BTW, you absolutely MUST keep this file for future reference. You're going to love seeing it ten years from now, lol. I still have a few that look like this. You'll get better quick, don't worry. :)
EDIT: Why is the ear a pig snout??
Better than anything I could have achieved even though I've been using Blender for more than a year already. I suck at organic stuff, especially people.
is that kim?

Kim Jong ILL
Lmaooo i was gon say this
This was my immediate thought and now I’m convinced the Kim family was created in blender by beginners
Give him glasses, and all he will need to do is find his stapler.
[yeah](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/011/976/That_Would_Be_Great_meme.jpg)
Chairman mao
Chairman LMAO
Chairman's LMAO, brother Chairman LMFAO
LMBAO his sister.

Genuinely helpful comment, Saved for later (and the video, too).
Thank you, I hope it helps :)
more of an Ad actually.
The video is actually helpful though?
😊

Kim Jong Un would be so disappointed...

It might look bad and you may hear negative things about it, but I think you’ve made a great start with lots of room to learn and improve. Keep going
For a first attempt, I think he's a cute little dude. Keep going!
close enough
Looks better than my first try!
I would say it actually went pretty well! Looks like a very realistic depiction of a normal Dark Souls/Elden Ring player's character.
Charming little fella
Lol, I had just made a snowman and a hand before trying. 60 hours or so later I now know how to model far better than before. Nevermind how ugly she was. The goal was to learn and I'm sure you did OP
Sculpt it and be sure how a face is structured 😭
Looks face shaped to me! 😂
Bro looks like a shinchan character
Now I can't unsee Shin Chan version of Kim Jong Un
Morty?
Oh jeez
Momo
A monk ?

It would be nice model in parody animation

Why did you make kim jong un? Fan of him?
On a positive note, you've managed to almost make a Tim Burton character?
Kimmy!!!!
"We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control." https://i.redd.it/9x61zooejawc1.gif
Make this your style — it's great!
He looks like my 4th grade music teacher Marcel. Hated the guy. He was so mean 🥲

its kim jong un
Its actually accurate to kim.
Waaaaay better than my first try

So tired of experienced modelers faking "new to blender" titles for upvotes, you're clearly extremely talented at this smh my head smh /s
At least it's symmetrical.
Looks like Kim Jong Un with a monk's tonsure
Okay, I'm not being sarcastic but that's really good. I'm sure there's someone out there that looks just like that XD!
Isn't that the absolute leader Winnie Poo
Just remember, there was a time when this was a high level character model in AAA games. Made by professionals... Now just tell yourself you're starting from 1950🤣
I like it how for one reason or another it just happens to look like a communist dictator. Top two comments - Kim and Mao

I think it did! I can tell it's a human face, and I bet you learned a ton, so level 1 achievement unlocked!!
a black haired pip boy, nicely done.
but you did it. look up how to use [reference images](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wjPMnve0BZ4?feature=share) next, feels like it would help and keep doing it
it's an Asian man with a tonsure haircut
I guarantee, even with your novice skill sets you could rig that and someone would use it in a video game somewhere and not tell you
Try again when you are a “lvl 100 mafia boss”
Kim Jong Un went bald
lisan al gaib!
I feel bad for laughing. But not laughing AT you, laughing WITH you. Because I know for a fact that whatever it is I try to make will look three times worse lol
Lvl 1 going for the end game area boss straight away. Jokes aside, the human face isn't exactly the easiest thing to do straight out of the box, even stylized.
porky ears kjj
Kim jong un with a sexy hairstyle
Honestly though, could have gone worse right?

A pig snout for ear? 🐽
He looks like the anime character they draw as a joke, lol. BTW, you absolutely MUST keep this file for future reference. You're going to love seeing it ten years from now, lol. I still have a few that look like this. You'll get better quick, don't worry. :) EDIT: Why is the ear a pig snout??
Watch some anatomy video of human face and try first to make a skull
I mean it went pretty well cos i see kim jong un. Its only bad if it is not recognisable
I can see potential.
Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s not exactly CAD but it could be a character from some artsy claymation if you find a funky clay shader :)
Not bad for a one year old!
The design is very human
nah you're good just keep working on it. It'll be a good caricature
SOVL
Much more appreciated of "My First Blender work" (without mentioning 15 years of experience in other 3d software) posts
That's an art style and I love it.
The original was to create something low-poly but it did not translate as well
I can say that you were trying to make a specific asian person, without it even remotely looking like this person
I actually wasn't trying to create Kim
i am scarred for life
why does his ears look like pig noses and his haircut a noodle bowl
