Hi,  
I need advice to make a shape. I’m looking for the most suitable technique to draw the shape.  
I do not want to be given the job, but just directions.  
Is it a form with booleans? Are there several forms? etc.  
Thank you in advance.  
I attach the photo of what I would like to reproduce in 3D.

Sketch silhouette of cylinder, Revolve tool around center

There are multiple options for the eye area like create 2 planes at what looks like a 45° roughly 1/3 the into its face. That’s probably the long way round. Brute force eye area

Sketch circle for eyes and revolve tool extrude again, subtract that from the tiki for eyes

Why a torus? and not a sphere ?  
Thanks

Hello  
Here a screenshot of the owl.  
It will be a bottle and the cap will be the head.  
Thank you for your valuable help.

How can the head turn?🧐 you may need a bayonet lock…

No the project is not completed:)  
In fact there will be no screw. The cap will push back and the cork will make the closure airtight. Etc…
