To create a head which is the easiest way to get to grips with things, I seen alot of tutorials that use nurbs I am sure that maybe the best way, but arnt pollys easier ? The thing is I am mildy dislexic and I cant follow some tutorials to well, this is why I like this site so much due to the video tutorials.

I personly find polys eazyer, cleaner, and less intensive on your CPU power and not to mention the all mighty RAM. But to each his own..

I usually start with a poly cube and go from there.

You can convert the NURBS to Polys after you have it how you want. There is a 1 to 1 setting some how.. but if you ask me.. seeing what you can make out of a cube like mike says is def good expireance if nothing else. He makes great models with them.
