Subject: quick question about modeling the human head...

I have just decided to take my first stab at modeling the human head. I am planning on using reference photos of Natalie Portman for my project. My question to you is this, do the photos have to match up perfectly? I found good front and side shots of the beautiful Mrs. Portman, but no matter how much I scale one, the facial features will NOT match up 100%. I can get the chin and eyes to fit, but then her lips and nose will be off. Will it still be possible to tackle this project with what I have?

Oh yeah, Ill be using Wings3D if it matters at all.

Thanks,
Seth

JPG image re-sizing skills are a must. And now that her head is shaved, her head should be super easy to model.

Perfectly matching ref certainly help but the chances of finding a perfect full face and profile of a celebrity, both images with an identical expression etc are slim. You have to do your best with what you have! - Baz
