*@Bas Raven* Looks really good so far. I see a lot that's going right with this. Here's some feedback:

• The most noticeable element is the big round eyes. I think it would help a lot to scale them down as far as even half the size. In the perspective view this becomes really noticeable.
• The hair consists of a lot of thin clumps but the overall shape is very rounded and blobby. I can recommend to work with bigger shapes and nail the silhouette before going into detail. Look at how the tension in the hair and gravity would affect the shapes and flow of the ponytail.
• The mouth also seems to sink a bit into the face. Try pushing it outwards a bit more.
• I think the ear and jaw corner might also be a bit far in the back.
• Overall the surfaces are also rather lumpy. Try to keep the shapes clean and smooth. Especially on the neck and ear the surfaces seem random.

Keep looking through perspective view to see how much the ears get lost behind the face and how large the face looks.
The orthographic view can be deceiving on that.

*@Julien Kaspar* Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such valuable feedback. I am stil working on the body but when I come back to the face I will definitely use your feedback.

*@sandeep200680* For the first design sculpts it was not really necessary to include them but I'll talk about it too :) I'll cover the teeth and inner mouth in chapter 3 when I'll go over the expression tests.

*@Julien Kaspar* Thanks dear friend...looking forward to see how that works!

*@jhonatansilva31415* No, not in this course. But there is an Animation Fundamentals Course in progress. Maybe ask there: https://cloud.blender.org/blog/introducing-blender-animation-fundamentals-training

*@Alan Belov* Hopefully very soon :)

*@Julien Kaspar* thx👌❤️

*@Sundaram* It only affects the render if the color you are painting is plugged into the material. It won't automatically use any color information.

*@Julien Kaspar*thanks but how to do that?

*@Sundaram* Plug the vertex color node into the base color of your material node.

*@Cosimo* eye lids*

*@Cosimo* The progress is looking good. Eyelids are definitely very tricky to get right, so I can recommend to create them from a sphere object. It will make it easier to get the shapes right before then merging the objects and sculpting the transitions between eyelids and the rest of the face. Same with the ears. If you have difficulties getting the shapes right, try to separately sculpt them as different objects and then merge them once they look right.

To give some more feedback on the overal proportions: I would look at some more reference for the jaw. In your sculpt it is very pointy right now. In general, the face is getting lifted up the further it goes into the abck of the head. Try lowering the ears, cheeks and jaw corner too make the lower jaw edge a bit more straight. Here's an example.

You could also push back the chin a bit. The entire mouth region is peaking forward which looks also like a very unnatural under-bite.

*@Julien Kaspar* Thank you for your detailed answer. I will try to implement your tips.
