face reference?

It might seem to be obvious to most of you, but...

When sculpting a head/face for sculpt, particularly those normally based on comic art, do you choose a 'real world' reference?

I ask this because, the head of this piece:


was based on this piece by Andy Bergholtz:

(and was initially a trial sculpt)

but as Harley' nears completion (out of date pic), i feel the head no longer suits the job.

I feel I could create a more suitable head/face if I based it on an actual person.

i.e.


your suggestions please...

BTW, this is a personal project, no prospective buyers to please

As someone who is about to start sculpting for the first time, I would say use whatever resources you can. I am starting off with just the comic book art, but plan to use real life references when needed.

I've used real life ref. Myself, but I'm not at all an avid sculptore, but if that last photo turns out to be a sculpture project and she's say 1/6th or 1/4 I'm game to buy...

If all goes to plan, Harley (top pic) will have Michelle's head (bottom pic), and its about 1/5 (15 inches tall).

Cheers
