Yup, 3dtotal.com for the english version. You should definetly check it out, it's an amazing tutorial, and easily taken from Max into Maya.
Other than that, I'd suggest studying other peoples wires and figuring out how to make your edges flow, but that might take you a little more than 10 weeks, unless you work really, really hard of course 
Another really important step is getting good reference images. Other than that, just use the techniques you learned in the cartoon dog tutorial, and just should be well on your way.
Liter is French for 'Gimme some ****ing cola before I break vous ****ing lips!"
