1. I started off by covering the polystyrene egg in tin foil so if there was any polystyrene left exposed, it wouldn’t burn in the oven.
2.
2. The next stage was to cover the egg in a layer of clay
3.
3. After that, I mapped out where the features of the face would be in a raised edge of clay. I also mapped out how tall and wide the edge shape would be.
4. 
4. After building up some layers of the head, the position of the chin was changed, and the position of the lips was added.
5.
5. Here the shape of the head looks more accurate and the ridge of the eye sockets has been added,
6.
6. At this stage the cheeks have been more flushed out and the eye ridge has been worked into the rest of the head. This is where the maquette looks most like a skull. I wanted to experiment using the clay like it were muscle to see if was an effective way to create a head, I found it was very difficult and gave up this experiment fairly quickly.

7. Here the nose has been more filled out and the position of the lips has been indicated with a ridge of clay.
8.
8. Then the cheeks, head and chin were smoothed out, and detail was added to the nose and lips.
9.
9. The next picture depicts further smoothing out and detail added, each time trying to make the maquette resemble Oliver

The last stage was to add some hair detail to the eyebrows and top lip with a wire tool. I decided not to give the maquette head hair as I wanted to focus my time on making the face look as accurate as possible.
