captaindrewi,
kreator posted the link to the joan of arc tutorial that KyleSan was using. It is very useful for seeing how to model a face step by step.
The bigger issue with your model is that most lines on the face run either horizontally or vertically through the mesh, like a grid on top of the face. The idea of edge loops in face modeling is that certain areas of the face 'belong' together, and are modeled centered around that part of the face.
Here is an image that helped me a lot:
The different color codes show the different 'parts' of the face that belong together. Around these parts you model a few (as many as necessary to get the detail you want) infinite loops of polies, see the second image.
I would suggest starting over with your face model ( I know it's a lot of work, but worth it
) and if you want follow the joan of arc tutorial, and see how it relates to the image above.
Good luck!
