Telling tales - Character building

To begin my character I, began by importing my t-pose images to work from. I followed the video guides from the tutorial character to help me as I still wasn't 100% confident with the tool, and just adjusted to my character. 

I ended up exaggerating his waist, shoulders and muscles and in smooth preview they didn't look as good. But I seemed to be getting along fine in building this part of my character. I even adjust my character by eye if he didn't look in proportion, or something didn't look right in 3d.   

I tried to then create some facial facial features, but wasn't sure how Ciara ha done hers as we need them to look like siblings. I started to play around with creating a nose to get use to building out, while Ciara send me a photo of how she had done hers.

 To create the ears I freestyle again, and I think I'm getting more used to the tools, I simple removed some faces, and extruded like you would creating a thumb.









It didn't turn out too bad, but I will need to adjust this face depending on how Ciara has created hers. 
















Ciara sent me a photo of her character's face, it is very square unlike mine. I can change the nose of my character, but I'm wondering if I should make my characters head flatter, or if she would make her characters face rounder, or we could both edit our characters heads, to find a middle ground? This is something we will have to discuss.
