This is a likely set of basic steps of how to model a human head. In the case of this example it is a male head of 35mm scale.
The materials and tools used are: green stuff and Milliput, wire, sculpting tools, a punch, colour sharpers and talcum powder.
With green stuff and wire we create the necessary basis for modeling.
Add two equal small balls as eyes. Then add Green Stuff + Milliput symmetrically and give a polyhedral shape maintaining symmetry. Then continue adding stuff where needed in the same way.
We soften the edges of the polyhedron and keep adding putty to form facial features and ears, keeping the symmetry.
Add the remaining facial features such as nose, eyebrows and cheeks defining facial expression. Add the neck. With the punch ended ears. We finish the modeling and, if it is not necessary to add more stuff, we can apply talc with a soft brush to eliminate glossiness and better see the necessary adjustments.
This is a basic head but we can try different features and expressions in steps 4 and 5 depending on if we want it looks realistic, like a cartoon or fantastical, to be fat or thin, young or old ...
