YouTube Tutorials on Scultping Heads

Very nice tutorials on sculpting the female head here.

Good tool tips too. (Look for those gum stimulators!)

Sculpting Eyeballs

Good idea: when sculpting a face out of polymer clay you intend to cast later, put glass beads in where the eyes will be, and sculpt folds of clay over for eyelids, etc. This way, when you cast the face, the eyes will be perfectly smooth and easy to paint.

Found here.
