Create the base shape object... whatever head or whatever. Click create blendshape. There is a window under animation editors that is the blendshape editor. Now, click create blendshape, model the blendshape, and click create again, model the next... whatever. Now you have to name the additional blendshapes. Then those things will influence the origional object.

The question was, how to use blendshapes to give a better deformation to a rigged body.
Sometimes you get crap deformations when you bend a leg or something, and I know one can use blendshapes to correct those. rings any bell?
