Listen to me. This is one of, no - this is the best likeness of Reeve I have seen done. do NOT mess with it. Do not even think about the symmetry thing. If you do, you will start to dig yourself into a hole, that you will have to sculpt your way out of. Do NOT let yourself be coached by people on the internet, with little lines and arrows, etc.. because gradually if you let this happen you will also find yourself putting in 50 x's more time than you should have, and end up with something that's not nearly as good as this. TRUST ME. TRUST YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION AND INSTINCTS. I can't tell you how many times I got derailed from listening to too many people. Everyones an expert. AND EVERYONE SEES THINGS DIFFERENTLY. If it's wrong you will see it. Finish this piece up, but make no major changes to the likeness, and you will have a great piece. Then if you want to improve, do another.
3 yrs ago I did a Reeve head in less than a week. That was the best one I did. 3 months later I was still in a tailspin trying to sculpt my way back to something decent, from having listened to all the critiques. Got something back.. o.k. , then redid it all from scratch again. Wished I had not messed with the first one. agonizing too much is really bad.
