First body - male i think
seeing all these cool characters in this months comp lead me to try a character/human form type model.
Haven't got a clue what to do really, just followed an example from a character animation book - which brought me to the following position. I am now totally stuck as to how to progress - all I know is that it ain't very refined. I know sweet fa about the human form - so any ideas on how to progress - even some background reading/studying on the human body would help.
Hope this isn't asking too much.
cheers muchly

well thanks dannygan, I checked out the site you advised and have started again. This time using a reference picture from that site.
This is what I have some up with so far.
I have modelled it with the arms down, but I see most models with their hands straight out to the side. Is there a right way and a wrong way?? Does it effect it when it comes to adding a skeleton??
I cannot draw to save my life so I will have to try and find references on the net - not the easiest I can assure ya!!!
cheers

The proportions on your new model are much better. Keep it up.In general, modeling a character with arms out makes binding the mesh to a skeleton easier. It's not absolutely required though.
