Hey all.

I'm new here. I'm currently just working with 3D/game design on a hobby basis, but in August ill start my Bachelor Education in Game Design.

Enough about me!

Ive done the 6in1 model and texture parts(turned out pretty ok for my first attempt at anything 3d), and like most tutorials Ive seen they all include side/front pictures.

But what when you have drawn a finished sketch of say a character, what do you do to start modeling it? Do you use the image for reference, or do you sketch up front/sideview of the character and use imageplanes?
