step one:

1. Model a cylinder of clay about 2" in diameter and three inches tall and push it over the dowel on the modeling stand. Then model a large egg shape about six inches tall and three inches wide. Make it wider towards the top and gradually narrower towards the bottom. From the side view it should be fairly straight up and down in the front with a large rounded bulge toward the back. Look at photos 1 & 2 and model yours like the pictures. Take your time on this step. We are approximating the general shape of an adult human skull. )Photos 1 & 2).
