Thanks a whole heap for your replies AlphaFlyte. I'll definitely check to see if the book is available as I can use all the help I can get. I figure that the better my design is, the better my model will be so I want it to be just right including proportions, colors, etc. I'm also going to try and draw a front and side view of the final design in the divinci pose. Hope I can do it.
Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
