Change the voxel size to something that you are happy with to reduce the size

STEP 1 — Add Your Photo as a Reference

1. Go to Add → Image → Reference.
   
   

2. Choose your face photo.
   
   

3. It will appear in the viewport as a flat plane.
   
   

4. Rotate and scale it so it faces your sculpture.

STEP 2 — Line Up the 3D Head With the Photo

The more closely your mesh matches the photo’s perspective, the better.

• Go to Camera View (Numpad 0).
  
  

• Move the camera until the mesh's face aligns with the photo behind it.
  
  

So select the camera and move it so when you press 0 the camera is pointing right at the face

STEP 3 — Project UVs From Camera View

This is the most important step.

1. Switch to UV Editing

2. Select your head mesh.
   
   

3. Switch to Edit Mode.
   
   

4. Select all faces (A).
   
   

5. Make sure your viewport is in Camera View.
   
   

6. Press U → Project From View.
   
   

Your UV map will now match exactly what the camera sees.

STEP 4 — Apply the Photo as the Texture

1. Go to Shading workspace.
   
   

2. Add a new material.
   
   

3. Click Add → Texture → Image Texture.
   
   

4. Open the same photo.
   
   

5. Connect Color → Base Color of the Principled BSDF.
