Here is the tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Top plane>>Sketch.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Draw this profile. The lower one is made using spline and fit spline tool.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Extrude it at Draft.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Right plane>>Sketch.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Draw a semi-circle.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Revolve surface it.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Right plane>>Sketch.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Draw a spline.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Trim the lower area.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Lofted surface.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Select the edge of the upper surface.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Right click and selection manager.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Select all the lower edge.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Click ok in selection toolbar.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Now Tangency to face.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    Right plane>>Sketch.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Draw a spline like this.
    

    

18. Step 18:

    Trim off the lower area.
    

    

19. Step 19:

    Right plane>>Sketch.
    

    

20. Step 20:

    Draw a profile using spline. 3 splines are used having tangent relations.
    

    

21. Step 21:

    Trim the surface using spline.
    

    

22. Step 22:

    Knit surface.
    

    

23. Step 23:

    Select all surfaces and check merge entities and uncheck gap control.
    

    

24. Step 24:

    Thicken the surface.
    

    

25. Step 25:

    And we have basic body of helmet.
