[QUOTE="Mr Mold Maker, post: 3562668, member: 28330"] Foam heads aren't a great starting point. If you need an armature I'd suggest you check out the Monster Makers head form or David Moshers head form. Both are around 24 inches already, so you wouldn't need to add too much clay to combat shrinkage. If those are out of your price range, you need to at least pick up a pair of calipers. Calipers are used to get relatively precise measurements of your head. It will help you build up the mass of the head you need without getting too off proportion. I'd give Mark Alfrey's Sculpting the Human Head a watch. I won't link it but it is streaming on the web, and you can find it pretty easily.
