Man with beard, or a face/bust with beard?

Anyone know where I can find diagrams of this sort of thing? I was thinking more of a homeless person look, but I can't find anything on a face with a big beard or a standard model with one besides Kamiya's Wizard.

See: Folding Faces by Eric Kenneway, 1978, ISBN: 0-448-22557-3.
He has models of Hitler, Stalin, Shakespeare, and Castro.

I can't find the reference, but I believe that Neal Elias also made some masks, as did Akira Yoshizawa (I don't think he folded any beards.)

I was thinking something more along the lines of this:

I found a couple of other references:

The one above is the guy on the right I am referring to.

Lol I'm not trying to raise some discussion on the Shroud of Turin ... it was the only example of what I wanted to find for origami.

Also, HOw about Masks by Eric Joisel, or modifications of his Dwarf ?

Funny you said that HankSimon ... I was going to modify the dwarf.

Without creating a whole new topic that might not get answered (it's just a little question) ... how does everyone here know what the grid is for each CP when it's not obvious? I'm talking about the ones that don't have each and every square so you can count them. I have tried counting each point, across the model, but it never seems to work out (sometimes I'll get a weird number like 13 and have to start over again to see if it was wrong, and it wasn't).

It's more out of curiousity ... then the next time I look at a CP without a grid in the background, I can somehow know the grid whether it be 16x16 or a Ryu Zin or something

Even among the CP folks, not everyone is expert at determining the grid and other key points. I'm not an expert, but hopefully, someone will point you at the previous discussion about locating the grid.
