This is a two-part tutorial which exploits a little known capability of Max to create a head. I personally find this technique easier than box modeling for heads since your topology and edge flow are there from the beginning. With box modeling, there's a lot of division, connecting, turning, etc. to get basic topology in place.

OMS - Part 05 - Mirroring and Subdividing Organic Models
This tutorial will show you various ways to mirror your object and the pros/cons of each. It will then demonstrate various methods of subdividing your mesh
This tutorial goes over methods for defining the topology of an organic object in photoshop. This is helpful as a planning stage before you begin modeling to make sure that your have proper distrobution of faces and your target mesh will deform nicely.
This tutorial will go over several ways to refine and add detail to your model. More specifically, will be adding polygons for a nose, then refine them until we achieve our desired shape.
This tutorial will take you through the process of setting up reference plates for precision modeling.
This tutorial takes front and side reference images and prepares them for use as reference plates in your 3D package of choice. Distortions introduced by the lens, camera, photographer are removed and key features are lined up for easy modeling.

OMS - Part 10 - Creating a Face Texture From Reference Photos
This tutorial takes a look at using reference photos for creating a head texture. If you have photographs that can work, there really isn't any reason not to use them since they can often provide plenty of subtle details that would be very time consuming to add otherwise. These videos are a bit long since I'm having trouble finding good "break" points for digital painting techniques. Will try to make them more bitesize in the future.
