You are going to have to explain yourself better if you want help, because your post makes no sense.

You guys are being too hard on him!

ipaul, please try to clarify your post if you can. It is likely someone here can help you. Perhaps you are looking for a human figure, mask, or head/bust?

Come on guys, it looks like English isn't his first language. And you should look at some of Eric Joisel's work.

He might also want to create pictures using origami elements.

Can you have point to some pictures on the Web that you're interested in ?

No I wasn't, all I said was "You are going to have to explain yourself better if you want help, because your post makes no sense."

First I have to say sorry for poor english. yes english is not my first language but that may not be an excuse.

Easy, here are some links:

Have in mind that those are not "portraits" of real people, it is not like Joisel saw someone and decided "I am going to make one of my masks to look like him". They just end up being the way they are without meaning that they resemble a real person, except maybe for Yoshizawa' self portrait.

take a look at
Sculptural Origami - Saadya Sternberg
http://origami-aesthetics.blogspot.com/
it contains a lot of amazing pictures of faces and instructions on how to fold a face (and variations thereof).
on the cover is a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci

I'm fiddling with masks myself and have found that playing around with wool felt is very helpful (it needs to be stiffened first somewhat before folding, e.g. with glue or whatever), you can essentially erase any fold and experiment ad lib. I'll post a first result of the kind in the coming days and give a few explanations on the way.
