my first head model

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

It's a good idea to pace yourself, especially as a newbie. Characters are some of the hardest things to do, and it's normaly not very productive to try to start with them too soon.

If I remember correctly, I didn't start on my first character until after a good 4 or 5 months or so of 5 hour a day classes. user added image

I might not say you'd have to wait that long, but you want to get a good understanding of the modeling tools available before biting off too much more than you can chew.
