First of all Welcome to SLW!!

It's a good start for a first head but there seems to be a few trouble spots.
1. You have 1 too many 5 point polygons...(Where 5 polygons are sharing 1 vertice) This tends to stretch the polygons and create a bad spot. To fix it i think you should do a few Spinquads (Ctrl+k) (select 2 polygons and press Ctrl+k)

Over time it'll become easier so don't give up.

Thank's a lot I'll give it a try. I can see where you mean, sometimes you stare at something for so long you stop 'seeing' it.

For just 5-6 weeks working with lightwave, i think this is very good.

Maybe you should smooth some parts a bit more ( like the forehead, and the place where the ear is connected to the head ).
