My first female model
I am modeling in NURBS and then I plan to convert to polys to join the various parts and add more detail. So far I have done the torso and legs, I still have to do the feet, arms, breasts, and head. Any suggestions on my technique? How do you tackle modeling a human? I have spent an hour on each part so far and I am happy with the rough shape so far and how quickly it is coming along. When I was doing my suit of armor one thing I was not to sure of was how certain parts interacted with each other and overlapped, etc. But humans seem to be nice because they are all one skin, but I know that I and others will be more critical of human models since we all know very well how people are suppose to look.
Since I now have a new awesome job as an audio video specialist, I will have less time to model, but hopefully I can still continue in my spare time.
Comments and crits are welcome, please be honest. Thanks.

orgeeizm: thank you for the crit, I will try to touch up the knees and pay attention to those. Also it feels cool knowing that others will be tracking my progress, it's a great motivator.
lonepig, dragonsfire, and RisTar: Thanks for the encouragement
Darkware: Thanks as well, I am very happy with how my avatar came out also, glad others like it too.
Here is my most recent update, it took about an hour for the arm and maybe about the same for the foot. The foot was really done freeform without much model reference since the image is not very usable to see the foot in correct angles. Lots of details will need to be added when I convert to polys, unless anyone can suggest a better way of going at creating the foot, I will have to read some tutorials on foot creation, I found it fun trying to work out some of the complexities of the foot shape.
The armpit needs a lot of work, I think it is to high, also I need some more detail added to the elbow. I found it hard modeling the arm since her arms are at her side, the flesh under her arm is pressed against her body so I wasn't sure how to get an accurate shape for that area. Comments and crits are welcome as well as suggestions for techniques.

It will make binding and modeling the under arm and side of the body area easier as well as make socking the arm to the torso easier.

Any suggestions? What areas should I look out for? Any tips on making her look feminine? Thanks.

Any suggestions? Does the hand look to masculine? I used my own hand as reference many times.
Does anyone have experience modeling a number of humans, if so do you tend to reuse hands and just modify their size a bit to fit other characters? Thanks.
