The mouth area needs a little work. Pesci always looks like he's sucking on a mint. Still think it looks pretty good as-is and a paint-up would be the best way to gauge accuracy.
As always feedback welcome guys…

The first thing I noticed is that in the film, Pesci's forehead is not that big, the hair is lower on the forehead. Also, the hair coming down the side and blending into the sideburns (in front of the ear), should be almost straight down, angled back just a little. In the proto, you can see it comes distinctly down to a point and then angles back. Also, his top lip doesn't have much shape to it, it is more broad. The proto has quite a bit of curvature.
You can see the hair pretty well in this photo.
Since you were asking for suggestions on possible improvements here's my thoughts.
* Thin out the bridge of the nose and make the overall nose smaller but more importantly the tip a little longer/pointier.
* the brown lines (although I'm aware the casting process can help with this).
* Make both the upper and lower lips thinner.
* Possibly add a little more body to the sides of the hair and give it a more square appearance.
People may think differently but I think those are a few things throwing it off, here's my quick alter in PS.
Original.
