I'm going to model a punk character in 3d max, but first needed to draw him out.

my technique:
I scanned in my pencil sketch into photoshop, adjusted the levels to remove the greys, selected the black and converted the selection to paths. I then filled the paths with black on a new layer, deleting the original drawing layer, and then colored him underneath the new cleaned up line work.

The jaw looks really misplaced, you should work more on the face, maybe you should make some views, right, front
etc. may be handy is you work it out in max

I've finished the model and I'm now working on the texture.
Here he is with the head textured.

Nice texture job on the head, although I'd add some blending (to a supposed original hair color) at the bases of the spikes to make them flow a little more. They seem a little too cartoony addon right now.

Lookin' good though!

fukifino - thanks for the comments. I'll work on the hair more.

Here's an updated head. The texture is more contrasted and the shape of the head is more refined.

I made some adjustments to the head geometry. I also added some color variations to the skin, fixed the lips, and brightened the eyes a bit.

I'm going to work on the rest of the texture now.
