Thats to bad I for one think its the best beginners head modeling tutorial out there.
But to each his own.
Im sorry that I cant help you. I realize you are frustrated unfortunately thats all part of the process belive there not one artist out there that hasnt gone through it .
Hopefully you can work your way out of your problem
Good luck
In looking at you shaded mesh I think you need to add more splines where you have hooks and 5 point patches.
take a look at the rendered image and your shaded wireframe and you will see that at most of those crease coincide with them.
Have you tried to do the old Skylark tut done by jeff lew ?
This would really help you see where your mistakes are and could help in adjusting your image. Also I would look at the models on the CD and see how they are shaped and it to may help in you endeavor.
For your first work its not terrible but with your enthusiasm I feel you can do much better.
good luck.
