    If you can get an image of the front and side.

    Enlarge them to the size you want.

    Glue the enlargement to a board -poster or mat board

    Cut out the silhouette

    Use the part that you cut away as a template

    One template for the front view - One template for the side view

    The templates will help get the over-all proportions

    Well, the best silly answer is to model a head in clay then either

    A: Peel off the thickness of skin, flesh, and cartilege to the bone :-)

    B: Build the skull next to the head and build it while mentally subtracting the skin, flesh, etc. That will enforce the proportions.
