Learn how to properly measure your head to make a sci-fi helmet for character costumes and cosplay projects with master artist and model maker Fon Davis.

In this excerpt from How to Make a Sci-Fi Helmet - Part 2 - Design Breakdown, Pattern Making, Vacuum Forming, Fon Davis discusses techniques on how to design a sci-fi helmet that’s tailored to your head size and accounts for padding, comfort, and an easy suit-up and removal experience. It’s important to measure your head as accurately as possible so your helmet fits snugly and doesn't pinch or sit uncomfortably on your face.

Fon Davis explains:
- How to measure your head size to create your own helmet
- The importance of storytelling for character costumes
- How to finalize the helmet design

Referencing concept art by artist Doug Williams, Davis will help you create an anthropomorphically inspired robot helmet!
