I started with a foil skull and neck
I have not worried about the back of the head, but you should sculpt a nice shaped head to get a more realistic shape!
I love chopsticks - I use them for necks, for stuffing, for armatures.
Here I have used them for shaping and the size of the leg and arms.
I have some 'vintage' wooden chopsticks - seriously 30 years old! - I like them because they are very tapered at the tip.

I have made cupped palms for the hands
Adding clay
I use may hairdryer to speed up the drying
Adding clay to the face. The head has already been baking for a few hours prior to this.
It is a much better way to add features. Things stay put.
Baking, baking, baking for hours and hours and hours
