Did it without a ref. Just relying on the drawing experience. Don’t know how much it worked out

If no refs, then use anatomy?
Bone structure, muscles, fat …
I used to draw these things a lot, and some of the refs are just burnt into memory. But It doesn’t always work out. Ref will certainly produce better results.

Certainly looks very good.

Impressive for no reference! But you are right you could get better results with it 
You’re new to sculpting then?
Some critiques: The eyes look a little too far dug into in the face, and possibly a little too far apart and high on the head itself (should be about halfway). The bridge of the nose I think also should be dug in a little more. She’s also missing some bony landmarks, especially the forehead ridge on the side. Still, very good bust! 
Edit: I realized I replied to your last post in which you answer my question haha. I agree ZBrush is a little more natural feeling, but Blender is quite good also, particularly how it replicated the clay buildup with the clay strips brush.

Yes. Quite new to sculpting. I have tried once or twice here and there, but not as a serious practice. And zbrush was where I first tried my hand.
You are absolutely right about the eyes. I couldn’t figure out what is wrong, and the eyes are a big part of what’s wrong here Thanks for bringing my attention to it.
I should also start looking into anatomy a bit more, I guess.
