inspiration

I want my character to be a lovable rouge type and I want there to be that fatherly like air him. So for inspiration I am going to use my dad as a foundation because he has the exact type of look im going for with distiguishing quirky features such as, scars on his nose from an accident and slight bumps from where it was broken and a rugged beard and an earring (il post a picture because im making him sound like a biker gang member or something ^.^).
I started by going a really quick byro sketch on a scrap piece of paper just to get a initial idea of how I want him to look whilst looking at a picture of my dad for inspiration taking key features. After I'd drawn it, I scanned it into my computer and imported it into photoshop and started making variations of that head (pictured) I only did some slight changes just to get a feel of what I wanted to do later and some lines and shapes I could achieve. Below are some pictures of the  sketch, the first three heads I did and the inspiration from pictures of my dad from when he was a bit younger (and me when I was five sorry :/ ).
 First sketch up taking features from the images below
 When his nose was a bit straighter bless him, handsome chappy

thick hair and eyebrows where another feature I wanted. Here are my first three 'warm ups' I suppose you could call them
