[WIP] My furry comic character, Lila

Why does the eye ball have to fit the socket exactly?  Why can't the socket edges extend into the eyeball itself a little bit?

Kain:
I had the impression that overlapping edges would produce problems in animation. If I was mistaken, then the problem solved itself, I'll just have to extend the socket edges a little inwards and move the eyeball a bit forward. Thanx. :)

hihosilver:
There will be no issues if edges overlap.  So no worries your problem is solved!
Also keep in mind that you can subdivide before you finish modeling.  If you select the model and go "Build>Convert to Subdivided" your model will turn into a subdivision object.  Afterwards, if you would like to return to the original mesh you can double click the object, and change the "working" setting to 0.  You can then convert to mesh after that, leaving you with your base mesh again.

Can I just state an obvious fact: Thats some awesome modeling for a beginner! The joan of arc tutorial is a great way to start & set a high reference point for yourself from the beginning.

Your model is looking great, a note about the 'edge loops' , the forehead area has a bit too many points together, this will be hard to smooth out when subdividing. Here is how you could fix it by spreading the lines a bit (sorry for drawing over your model!):



It's just an idea, you might want to move the points around a bit to fit your model.

Fewer points = better control over the model. Basically only add points if they are completely necessary, so only to add detail to the model. The forehead is a smooth surface usually, so keeping the point count low will allow for a better flowing model.

Also, in the area I just drew the points, make sure the forehead is one big flowing line, and doesnt go inwards above the nose. from brow-brow is one straight line, if that makes sense :p

Great job & good luck with the rest of your character! i can't wait to see it.

Welcome to the Anim8or Forums! :) :) :)
First of all I must say that this is some excellent work for a beginner ;)
I was just wondering why you didn't put a side view reference image of Lila? ???
It would make it more easier for you to model her sideways.

Anyway I think you're doing a great job so far! :) :)
Keep it UP!
