Linda Macario, the Italian doll-maker, has written a wonderful tutorial for creating the head for a BJD (ball-jointed doll) . LaDoll air-dry clay is suggested. Creative Paperclay would also be suitable for this project. Lots of photos demonstrate how to sculpt the Styrofoam core, apply the clay, model the facial features, hollow out the head & insert the eyes and also create the head articulation.
Further steps in the tutorial demonstrate how she paints the delicate features (called "face-up") to create a doll similar to the ones shown in these photos! Aren't they beautiful? Linda is an amazing doll artist! This is a great air dry clay tutorial even if you're not interested in making a full BJD body and just want to sculpt the face. I hope this encourages you to make your first doll! I'm excited to try it myself! ;-)

Sorry I had to re-instate the 'word verification'...I'm getting far too much spam in the comment box.
