at some point, I started avoiding the face, . . . because I do think getting it to look 'real' will be the most difficult
Then try not to think of it as a face right now. It's the same process -- is it the right shape, the right color (hue), and the right value? -- that you've used in fashioning the fabrics. When all those questions are answered "yes", you've got the face.

I kind of keyed on this because I usually find myself wanting to get the face moved slightly ahead of everything else. If I don't get that right, then for me everything else is moot.

We all have to pick and choose from the smorgasbord of techniques, talents, and neuroses.
